75- The Piedmont Lights

Published: May 1, 2023, 10 a.m.

When a professor of physics started poking into reports of strange lights in the local highlands, he found himself entangled in the great 1973 UFO flap of Southeastern Missouri. When he published his book "Project Identification" he turned the small town of Piedmont's spooky lights into one of the best scientifically documented UFO cases in history. As his research continued through the 70's, the professor would be drawn into the High Strangeness and associated hijinks that often follow in the wake of sustained inquiry into the paranormal. The Piedmont lights are a mystery from recent history that continues to haunt the region to the present day.
