Night Skies is a 2007 American science fiction horror film directed by Roy Knyrim and starring Jason Connery, A.J.

Cook, George Stults, Ashley Peldon, Joseph Sikora and Gwendoline Yeo.

It is set during the time of the so-called "Phoenix Lights", one of the largest UFO sightings ever.

[1][2] In the opening sequence of the film, Senator John McCain is being interviewed by a reporter, who inquires about recent alleged UFO sightings across Arizona.

Senator McCain acknowledges the sightings, but admits he has no explanation for the "Phoenix Lights."

As the opening credits roll, a bleeding, panicked woman runs through the woods.

While banging on the door to no avail, there are unsettling sounds coming from the woods.

In a flashback, five friends (Joe, Lily, Molly, June and Matt) are traveling to Las Vegas in an RV.

The group give Matt a hard time for getting them lost, and sarcastically joke it's the "American Dream" to travel the country by rural routes.

Molly wakes from her nightmare in real life, and joins the rest of the group up front.

June is still complaining about Matt getting them lost on the back roads, which Molly joins in on.

June calls the group's attention to the lights, which they all peer at intently, with the exception of Molly, who is uninterested and blows it off.

Joe wants Matt to pull it out, but just before doing so, the truck driver intervenes and stops him.

Richard goes to his truck for a bottle of vodka to disinfect Joe's wound.

June shouts for Lily in a panic, as Joe's condition worsens.

The group goes to the RV bedroom and sees Joe bleeding heavily.

Matt and Richard agree to get help in hoping they can flag a car or find a house.

With Matt dead, Richard holds the gun to his head, contemplating killing himself.

Some time later, a police officer patrols a deserted area, where he finds Richard.

A text epilogue states that Richard was found 100 miles from the site of his broken down truck and the group's RV.

In a semi-catatonic state, Richard was subsequently subject to rehabilitation which restored partial memories of the encounter.

Despite his description of the night's events, no trace of either vehicle nor any of the other victims was ever found.

The text concludes with the statement that the lights continue to appear over Phoenix Arizona to this day.
