AudioBlog: The Mystery in Marfa, Texas
by Charles Lear, author of\xa0\u201cThe Flying Saucer Investigators.\u201dIn Marfa, Texas, there is a phenomenon known as \u201cThe Marfa Lights\u201d that has been around for a long time and still remains a mystery. It\u2019s been studied by members of the Society of Physics Students from the University of Dallas and a retired aerospace engineer, James Bunnell. The students thought people were seeing car headlights on U.S. 67. Bunnell thought there was more to the lights than mere misidentification.According to the Texas State Historical Association website\xa0entry\xa0on the subject by Julia Cauble Smith, the first historical record of a mystery lights sighting dates back to 1883. According to Smith, Robert Reed Ellison, a young cowhand, saw a flickering light while driving cattle through an area known as Paisano Pass and thought it might be coming from an Apache campfire. Other settlers told him they had seen lights on other occasions and when they investigated, they found no signs of fires in the area. This has been used as an argument against the car lights on U.S. 67 explanation by defenders of the mysterious nature of the lights, such as Ariel Slick, who posted an\xa0article\xa0on the\xa0Deep South Magazine\xa0website headlined \u201cMarfa Lights: The Spirit of Texas\u201d on August 19, 2022.\xa0Read more\xa0\u2192
