Activity at the site near Marfa, Texas is less frequent. The probability of seeing a mystery light on any given evening is approximately 15% or about one in seven. It is easy to spend countless nights without seeing anything but the phenomena is very real and definitely does manifest between sunset and sunrise. Appearances are almost always within 200 minutes of day/night boundaries with about 2/3 of the appearances occurring in the evening hours and the balance occurring in the morning hours. Never happens during daylight hours and very rarely between midnight and 4:00 am. Don't have data for Brown Mountain, NC or Min Min, Australia but have been given the impression that Brown Mountain appearances may be even more rare. There is a site in Texas that may occur every night but I suspect that this location is a different type of apparition as the source appears to be venting from the ground continuously. Have never seen anything that fits your characterization of "host of metallic looking self luminous forms." Would like to know more about your site and reported sightings.

The social indicators are strong but more importantly the activity itself is quite pronounced. I met Erling Strand at this location in 2001 and it was his opinion that the location was far more active than Hessdalen. I have been to this location three times and we have documented activity on all three occasions and it is my opinion that it is constant with multiple daily manifestations. > We are expecting Massimo Teodorani to release a paper shortly on this location and the activity recorded so far. Are you familiar with his work?

In my new book, Night Orbs, I name about 34 or 35 potential locations but a more complete list would be in excess of a hundred. I call these potential sites because many of them may be nothing more than urban/rural legends or else created by explainable sources. I discuss three sites that seem similar in nature and have a sufficient number of creditable reports to be considered definite locations of mystery lights. Those three locations are Mitchell Flat near Marfa, Texas, Brown Mountain, NC and Min Min, Australia. I am convinced that all three of these sites do, from time to time, display light phenomena. In the case of Marfa I know this for certain and include in my book ample photographic evidence that cannot be easily dismissed. > > Do all three of these sites have long histories that seem to begin with native inhabitants? Yes, that is definitely true. > > You do not mention the location that you are referring to. Where is it? > > If you have an interest in this phenomena you will find additional information and insight in Night Orbs. Initial copies of the book were distributed in West Texas just before Christmas but national distribution will take a while longer. Look for it in your local book store within a couple of months or you may request a copy directly from me. > > Jim > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Magical Nexus" > To: > Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2003 12:32 AM > Subject: [mysterylights] Earthlights > > > > Greetings, > > I am quite interested in the Earthlights phenomena and have been studying a location where they occur off and on for the past couple of years. > > This sight in particular is isolated and seems to have had the interest of Native Americans over the centuries.... this seems to be a commonalty with these sites. They took on meaning to the humans who lived in the vacinity. I am very interested in pictoglyphs, rock art etc.... that may be related to these unusual phenomena. > > For some reason information about these locations seems to remain isolated and I am curious why that info doesn't get out to the research community without a serious search.
