Howdy from Austin, Texas. I'm SMiles Lewis, founder of the Anomaly Archives lending library in Austin= . We're hosting the Texas Ghost Lights Conference this June and I think your group might be= interested in the four researchers who will be presenting their data. See details below..= . SMiles <www.AnomalyArchives.org> The Texas Ghost Lights Conference Saturday, June 11th, 2005 - Austin Texas The Marfa Lights in West Texas and the Bragg Light of the Big Thicket have = inspired countless legends of restless spirits. But there is a growing body of evide= nce that, far from being mere curiosities, or the stuff of folklore, the Texas mystery lights = constitute a genuine scientific anomaly. Whether they are called fireballs, ghost lights, spook lights, earth lights= , or mystery lights, these unexplained spooky luminosities are surprisingly numerous. Lights of= unknown origin are known to recur in specific locations in North Carolina, Missouri= , California, Washington, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Ghost light locations in the British I= sles, Norway, Japan, and Australia have also been extensively documented. Investigators regard the lights as a little understood aspect of the earth'= s electromagnetic energy field. But they could be a global phenomenon of paradigm-shifting si= gnificance. They sometimes behave peculiarly, as if they are interacting with human obs= ervers like curious animals. This may be why the ancient Celtic peoples regarded the li= ghts as fairies, and why the shamans of some cultures sought out the locations of the lights= as entrances to the spirit world. Recurring ghost lights could hold clues to a dimension= of Nature that is rarely even suspected in the modern age. Texas is likely to play a key role in emerging earth mysteries research. Ac= cording to Japanese physicist Dr. Yoshi-Hiko Ohtsuki, there are more sightings of myst= ery lights in Texas than anywhere else in the world. On June 11, Natural Awakenings =96 Austin, with the association of Anomaly = Archives, will present "The Texas Ghost Lights Conference" from 2:00 =96 8:00 pm at the Fi= rst Unitarian Universalist Church at 4700 Grover in Austin. You will learn the latest abo= ut this curious phenomenon from four leading authorities on ghost lights, complete with pho= tographs and video displays. Renowned British author, lecturer, and broadcaster, Paul Devereux, is an ex= perienced researcher dealing mainly with consciousness studies and ancient sacred sit= es. He is the author of Earth Lights Revelation, Fairy Paths & Spirit Roads, Re-Visioning= the Earth, and numerous other scholarly articles and books. He will explain why the lights= have much to teach our physicists and remarkable lessons to teach all of us. Nick Redfern is the author of the books A Covert Agenda:The FBI Files; Cosm= ic Crashes; Strange Secrets; Three Men Seeking Monsters; and the forthcoming Body Snatc= hers In The Desert. He is the Editor of the newsstand magazine, Phenomena. Nick has unc= overed intriguing official British Government files on unidentified luminous pheno= mena and ghost lights that date back nearly a century, and will be discussing this never-b= efore-seen data at the conference. James Bunnell is the author of two books on the Marfa Lights, Seeing Marfa = Lights and Night Orbs. He is an aeronautical and mechanical engineer and retired in 2= 000 from BAE Systems as Director of Mission Solutions for U.S. Air Force Programs. He wi= ll present a fascinating video slide show of photographs taken from two monitoring stati= ons he set up that illustrate his contention that the Marfa Lights constitute a deep-rich= -fascinating mystery that never ceases to amaze those who take time to investigate. Rob Riggs is the Editor of Natural Awakenings =96 Austin, the author of In = the Big Thicket: Exploring Nature's Mysterious Dimension, and contributed chapters on unexpl= ained phenomena, ancient mysteries and the Texas Ghost Lights in Weird Texas, to = be published later this year by Barnes & Noble. He has appeared on Art Bell's Coast to C= oast and numerous radio shows discussing the ghost lights and other mysteries of the= Big Thicket. S. Miles Lewis of the Anomaly Archives (lending library of the Scientific A= nomaly Institute) will be the moderator of the event, which will include a panel discussion a= nd question and answer session.=20 <www.AnomalyArchives.org> The price for admission to this fascinating six hour event is only $25. Tickets go on sale April 11, and there is limited seating available.=20 For ticket information, or to get detailed bios and photos of the presenter= s, call (512) 326-4100 or e-mail <austineditor@...>
