AIC-0001.01 / INTRODUCTION / In production
The Case
Begins
Meet Matt and Anna, step inside Project SkyBridge, and get the foundation for a Phoenix Lights investigation that will unfold through focused episodes, interviews, witness stories, evidence updates, and community discoveries.
01
What this episode opens
Start with the people, then open the file.
This is the front door—not the final argument. Matt and Anna introduce themselves, explain how High Thoughts and grounded evidence share the same room, and establish the basic shape of the Phoenix Lights mystery without trying to settle it.
The deep dives
Detailed witness comparison, flare testing, interviews, competing explanations, and any host assessment.

Living record
Corrections & changed minds
If the evidence changes, so will this page.
Corrections, clarified wording, newly authenticated material, and meaningful changes in Matt or Anna's assessment will be logged here with a date and explanation. At launch, this section will read “No corrections recorded” unless something actually requires one.
06
Host release gate
