Headlights, headlights, headlights! Is that the only thing people can say, when they have no idea what something really is? Im tired of hearing about everything being headlights! People who think every mysterious light is a headlight must be both braindead, blind and screwed up in the head! I think they are spirits.
hello this is really strange i live in sweden in a village called Mossebo and one evening me and my friend saw strange lights in the woods. first it was one yellow and then it became three other lights one of them were blue and it was like following us ???
is there anyone else that has happened something similar?
Years ago when travelling between Brady & Santa Anna Texas stop for a rest and we saw first one light low to the ground (picture I have shows the grass underneath it) and it kept coming towards us and then it flew up and divided itself first into 2 lights then 3 and then 4 and then back together to form just one? Suddenly the light was gone just as if someone had turned off a switch?
I've never come away from something as 'mysterious' as the Marfa lights so convinced that the whole thing is just a con. They are car headlights on the road from Presidio, it is so obvious. If people want to believe they are something other than that then that is their business I guess.
@1957MCL More Scientific heads than yours know that the lights were seen before the advent of the automobile! So there goes your theory. These are either spirit lights of Apache warriors seeking revenge for land taken by Texans--or pockets of energy coming out of the earth.
@windstorm1000 Yes, and so scientific of YOU to blithely assume that they are the spirits of vengeful warriors. Yeah right. Look, like I say, people have a right to believe anything they want. I do not think that there's anything mysterious about them.
@1957MCL just because there is no "mystery" for a dead brain lame ass idiot like you , it doesn't mean that there is in fact no mystery in this phenomena for everybody else. if a lame explanation such as that of the lights being produced by 'car headlights' is enough for your limited brain capacity, then i can se why there is no mystery for you here.
Some people say "ah, they're just card headlights". But the one light that baffles me is the one that frequently appears at the top of the mountain, higher than the radio tower's red light, then slowly descends. I focused on that one in particular when I went there in 2001 and also on several videos posted here. Watch carefully and you'll see what I mean. Based on that particular observation I conclude that they cannot be explained as car headlights. But you are free to beleive what you will.
I've seen the "Northern Lights" and there's a tale that tells you if you have a deep desire or concern that if you pray about it under the Aurora Borealis (N.L. official name) That the answer will come shortly. That they act as transmitters for the soul. Maybe that's what the Lights of Marfa are too! I never have seen these except what is shown, but I do hope to in the future.
We saw the Marfa lights in the 1980s while driving through Texas. We had never heard of the Marfa lights, so we were curious about where the moving, circular lights were coming from, and we thought maybe they were from a train.
We actually drove the car over to where we thought we saw the lights, but there was no train, and there were no cars, and the lights vanished. Heading back out of town, there they were again, for a few miles. They must be a visual phenomenon, but what, I do not know.
@rangerjesse yeah right, they didnt had headlights back in the 1800s. So it is is not car headlights. Yes they were documation, are you dumb or something? How can they be headlights. pshh, headlights my ass.
The first written record of the lights dates to 1883. The Apache Indians had stories about them far before that. I don't think there were to many cars out that way in those days. (Or anywhere else). I have seen them. They are not car lights. But, believe what you want, whatever makes you happy.
I have seen the marfa lights! We drove out on some open ranch road, parked, waited for an hour, almost left, then saw blue and white "globs" blinking and moving in the distance.. crazy.
I went to the renaissance festival in Plantersville, Texas in about Novemeber of 2010. Plantersville is much like Tennesee, or any other typical " UFO " sighting area. open country, big spaces. and I can't exactly remember what time this was around, but a UFO with orange lights fly over a huge patch of land and just hooverd. then fly away until the lights were no more. to my knowledge, the U.S.A can not make any kind of aircraft that can fly like a plane, but also hoover like a helicopter.
They're hostile because they're ignorant and closed minded, and whenever and it is only a matter of time before they come, you'll then realize. there has been way too much evidence and scientific research to back up that there is something out there. grayish in figure.

I had an unusual light appear in a video I made. It is titled Marfa Light Darktown Strutter's Ball. I used three cameras and only one had the mystery light. The light did move. Really. I have no idea what it is. I believe the Marfa Lights are very real.
I presume that the Marfa lights are a UFO related event. According to scientists you can identify the chemical element that emits a certain light through a specific color pattern. In knowledge of this, a Texan resident that had a small property in a ranch used a spectrometer to identify the color pattern present in the light. The results were inconclusive, this meaning that the origin of the Marfa lights was of unknown chemical origin. The lights had a recorded speed of 30000km/h.
Why do you have such a hostile attitude toward people that believe in the phenomenon? If you don't have anything nice to say then shut your fucking mouth...
There is a similar phenomenon in Arkansas where a mysterious blue light travels over a railroad track and that was explained as being ball lightning being produced by the static electricity of tectonic plates shifting. Perhaps there is a similar situation in Marfa? Someone should try to get an accurate geological survey of the area.
I travel on highway 90 everyday and see the lights everyday. They are defiantly car’s headlights from highway 67. During the winter these lights experience some type of mirage effect and appear to rise off of the horizon. BUT THEY ARE HEADLIGHTS!
@PopppaBlue59 There is no reliable documentation of these lights existing in 1883 or before. I just saw them again today and they are still car's headlights.
@rangerjesse This does not explain how they were seen by ranchers 120 years ago before cares were invented. So there goes your water tight dumb ass theory!!!
All the citizens of Marfa, Texas have to be the biggest idiots that I have ever heard of. Instead of making a little platform to view the "phenomenon" as they put it, how about they man themselves up and walk out there, set up cameras or just camp out there to see the stupid lights up close. Wait, I know why, because they dont want to admit this is a hoax...its the car headlights from Highway 67 South you idiots. They just want Tourism there.
@TheJackRIOT The only ideot is YOU. Stop closing your mind and open your self up to the possibilities of the universe--they are much bigger than your mouse size brain. Also, did the citizens of Marfa want tourism 120 years ago when ranchers started seeing them. Don't think so. The citizens of Marfa are level headed folks. The lights are an unexplained phenomena!
I live about an hour from marfa and we always see them. we think that there is some sort of gas that is being released from the ground. THERE IS NOT A ROAD BEHIND MARFA LIGHTS! because they are on a large ranch that does not have anything in that area. The comanches have been seeing them for hundreds of years. It also may be some sort of northern lights. that when the moon hits that area just right, the lights move and change color. Or mabe we will never know.
I lived in Nm and Texas and was have driven in that area many times. Some things we just can't explain away. Hopefully in my lifetime the truth of strang sightings will be revealed.
I have seen these lights on three different occasions. More importantly the lights have been documented for over 150 years. The indians told story about the lights, pioneers documented the storys and accounts about the lights.
The Marfa lights phenomenon has been explained, the lights are a result of a Fata Morgana across the Mitchell Flat originating from car headlights on Hwy. 67...It is really quite simple..
@gadgetable64 I can understand why you would rest on your conclusion if you have not seen these lights with your own eyes. Go out there and see them first hand, then see if you still feel the same way. Yes, mirages can be dramatic, but there is no documented mirage of this type. I promise you, the behavior of these lights defies any such explanation. The movement of these lights and the space they occupy is beyond the phenomenon of Fata Morgana. No scientists have proven anything yet.

Totally real, my brother lived in alpine tx. about a half hour drive from the look out point. We stood watching for almost two hours as it started with 3 lights then progressed to 7 lights, it was the most he'd ever seen in the 2 years he lived there. Very interesting sight that can be seen at almost any given night, i've seen it twice on two separate vacations. Check it out i'm sure you won't be disappointed.
I saw those same lights. Pulsating blue, white, red, blue, orange. I saw them combine together as on larger multi colored ball of light, and them split apart to create a formation of lights. Then I witnessed as they combined together again, and then suddenly fligh away out over the horizon in split seconds.
But I did not see them in Texas. I saw them in Cincinnati Ohio back in 1968 and again in 1969
And I was not alone my sister was with me, and we still remember that day over 40 years ago.
Tens of thousands of people have stopped and witnessed the Marfa lights over the years! You'd think that there'd be more buzz about them from the scientific community. Who knows what sort of strange unearthly physics is happening out there. It could be an opening to a whole new...who knows!
Think about it, tens of thousands of people have seen these lights! Why the lack of world interest?
Well, see them for yourself, I'm sure you, like thousands before, will see headlights and say..meh
@olmecbones There have been studies done by both the US military as well civilian teams of scientists from Japan as well as other countries. Unsolved Mysteries reported on the studies done when they did a segment on the Marfa lights years ago.
@olmecbones Yes I have seen them. I was fortunate enough to observe them for a couple of hours the first time I went to see them. I live about 2.5 hours from Marfa and as most will tell you they aren't viewable every night. The night I was there the lights were very active going from one sphere up to seven or more moving vertically, horizontally, back and forward with speed that was hard to comprehend.
@sandosrules I can't really argue with you. You may well have seen a mysterious phenomenon. I can't say because I didn't see what you saw.
But what I saw were distant car headlights shimmering like a mirage above a very warm ground on a very cool night. The viewing platform does aligns itself with Hwy 67 South and although it's 13.77 miles away (Google Earth) you would be looking nearly right down the highway and car headlights are visible at that distance.
@OPOCHKA They have. Nothing is there dude. i been there before it's fucken crazy. it's just random lights out there. Nothing is there to make those lights, People went out there to see if there was anything. There was nothing.
Ah, these Marfa Lights is very very similar to the mysterious lights in our province, Sabangan Mt. Province, Philippines. We call them "Betattiw". No body can really explain what are those lights are. At clear night, we see them around the rice fields and at the hanging bridges. These lights do not glow like torches that can lit up the surroundings. They are just simply like "souls" dancing. These existed in our place sice the time of our ancestors.
@sonico73 ,, I guess... Im 178lbs, 6" brown skin, black hair, Y mi familia es de Tamaulipas Mexico, and yes they did work the fields at one time all while having incecticides powdered over them by crop dusters. UT
@Faztlan Im not trying to be racist Im just pulling bad jokes Im a Latin Italian I call my self the Mexican and My wife she is white and I call her cracker or red neck or the other way around I love diversity man.
@sonico73 Same here, diversity is beautiful. I pass the Marfa lights every year on highway 90 from El Paso, TX - to- McAllen, TX 800 mile drive across Texas goin one way!! Always gotta stop and check out the lights. I'll tell you thing that highway is lonesome and spooky at night, I always roll with a loaded firearm across my great state!! Mucho suerte adelante! -TX
From: "An Experimental Analysis of the Marfa Lights" Progress Report submitted by the Society of Physics Students at the University of Texas at Dallas: "It is the finding of the research expedition that all the lights reliably observed during the experiment were car headlights."
Human being SEE what they want. By the way...this music doesn't work. It just clutters the video. Frankly, the whole video doesn't work. Gawd, you guys are killing Youtube with clutter.
I went to see these lights... creepy... the atmosphere gets kind of tense. I'm not sure if these lights have anything to do with this but my aunt claims that she was headed back to her home in Mexico (close to presidio) with her husband and out of no where they were driving and suddenly some lights came over them. She said it couldnt have been a helicopter because she didn't hear any noise. Just a light that followed them. She was so freaked out. After 5 minutes it stopped. creepy..
for every strange thing like this there are always people desperate to prove its really something strange and people desperate to prove it isnt, this i recon is definately not just car headlights, there are so many clear sightings that show it cant be, perhaps balls of lightning though? that would explain it, or maybe it is something wierd
I happen to be from a pioneer ranching family of Far West Texas/Southern New Mexico, and we know exactly what these are: they are the warrior spirits of the Chihenne, Bedonkohe, Mescalero, Lipan, and Chokonnen A-patch killed at Tres Castillas in the 19th Century, led by Victorio.
I've seen the lights with my own eyes. I sat on the side of the road, and watched with binoculars until the sun went down. There was NOTHING out there that could have generated the lights, then around 11:00 pm they appeared, various colors, moving eraticaly back and forth, up and down. I don't know what they are, but they are NOT headlights from a car because NOTHING and NO ONE was out there.
shoot,good place to film a scary or mystery movie.texas chainsaw massacre can be one.lol.one day i might stop by and film a flick.all residents are welcome to be part of the set.NOT a lie,folks! anywho,when i was little i used to be scared to pass through Marfa when my parents and i where heading to california.we stopped one night at a creppy hotel called Bienvenidos and i couldnt wait til dawn :o dont know if its still there.lol
this caught my attention because I think I've seen this before? I saw 1 to 3 purple lights dance together on the top of a local mountain peak w/ no roads or even paths. they blinked and would brighten then dim to where I only could see them in my telescope. it was one then two, then three then would form back over and over. they moved about a 1/2 mile left and right quickly over and over again. And they lasted all night from 10PM until I went to sleep at 2AM??????? is this similar???????
yes 10pm to 2am is exactly the most common time for this sort of thing, when heaven and earth are close together. i used to read alot of stuff about this sorta thing. i've seen them before too.
Fellas fellas i'm from alpine i'm like 30 miles away from the above location some of the lights are headlights from a highway in that general area but the higher lights are unexplainable. military and intel personal have made various attempts to understand these lights but was stop in reference to the landlord that owns that property he was tired of all the drama and attention and just wanted to be at peace so for a sign of respect we just sit and wonder now lol hope that helps you guys out
They are flares from a military plane.( the white lites) They wanted to mark that area in the sky for some reason. What is very concerning is why the planes were travling so fast to cause a sonic bomb. (which is prohibites by the military)
Could it be perhaps that the lights eminate from the fault lines that are in the area? It was shown in a lab using quartze crystal under tremendous pressure that light would appear and move along the fracture.
I've been wanting to see these for the longest time. Do they appear every night or are they hit or miss? Last night I went to Newark Texas... away from city lights to watch the meteor shower... We stayed for about an hour and a half... I saw about 30 meteors or so...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
thats exactly what they are.. i've been going out there for my family's ranch every year for 16 years and thats what they are.. i've even gone up there and shot bottle rockets and roman candles to show people it was me in my car.. CAR LIGHTS IT IS
I saw the eerie Marfa lights in Feb 2008. Earlier that evening I talked with a long-time Marfa resident and he said he believed that the lights were a natural phenomenon such as burning gases given off by minerals. But this same person also said that one of the lights had entered the car window of a resident as she was driving to her ranch, terrifying the woman, and then reexited! If the lights really are burning gases, they would have burned the interior of the vehicle, which didn't happen!
I've seen them about three times, each time years apart. Most of what you see are lights that come out of nowhere, dance around, seem to interact with each other, then blink off. They come in white, yellow, red, green and blue, one I saw through binocs was multicolored. Once, my friend and I saw a big, dull orange orb dancing toward us by the road before the viewing area was built. A car went by but you couldn't see the car through the light. It came closer and closer and finally disappeared.
Descriptions mean squat - I need to see spectroscopic data - split-screened with video footage. Astronomers do this 'all night long.' Can someone please conduct some decent forensic analysis - get your CSI t-shirt and cap out of the closet. It's not really rocket-science .. spectroscopic analysis has been available for maybe only 150 years or so .. no more semi-literate descriptions - Show Us The Money!
Umm....Yes. Car headlights are absolutely "strong" enough. Even a tree is. Or bare sand in the desert. It happens all the time and you have most likely even seen it for yourself. There were NO sightings in the 1800's. No documentation of it at all! ONLY anecdotal claims by people that say they remember grandad or someone talking about the lights AFTER they had first been reported in the 1950's.
@cjheaford maybe you should go and see for your self since you know so damn much about them i live close to marfa and ive seen these lights try getting close and the will disapear or look like they're farther away so quit acting like you know you dumbass
Those are car headlights refravted in the atmosphere when conditions are right. It is called a mirage and mirages have been fooling dumbasses for thousands of years.
Exactly. Do a search for "skeptoid marfa" (without the quote) and the first link is an exhaustive description of the naturalistic explanation for the whole thing. It's essentially a Fata Morgana mirage. Totally cool, but a natural phenomenon nonetheless.
The Marfa lights are a really cool sight when you see them, but this video shows the same 8 seconds of a fuzzy octagon of light over and over. Look for better footage if your interested.
ii heard its something to do with the composition of near by hills and or mountains that discharge electricity.... i dont really care bout that stuff i just love to watch this kind of thing and wonder
The century-old mystery of the Marfa lights in West Texas may have been solved by two scientists, one in Houston, the other in Brisbane, Australia. The Australian claims that the similar Min Min lights, in outback Queensland, are caused by freak weather conditions creating an inverted mirage.
I shot a story on the Marfa lights in 2000 and I was pretty blown away. I can't believe that no one can figure out what this is. I find it very unusual that the lowest temperature in the state of Texas is in Marfa about 90% of the time.
These lights cannot be human made because they have been appearing for hundreds of years. The Native Americans have stories of them. The first documentation of them was by a rancher who bought that land back in the 1800s. I myself was intrigued by the phenomenon when I saw them and would go back if I could. If you people have a chance to go to Marfa, take it. It is one of the wierdest things you will ever see.
I have been to the Marfa Lights and they are real. They aren't cars on a highway. There is not highway that way. It's not people shining lights in mountains. There are no mountains that way. Just a flat plain. The lights appear for no explainable reason. The government has had scientists out there trying to figure it out but they still can't. Another thing is you can't reach the lights. You couldn't walk out there and get real close because you can't gauge the distance. They never get closer.
i've been to the windy marfa viewing station and have seen the lights. if they were just highway lights they would only appear on the right side (southwest), but they appear across the entire horizon so it's not that. it's a very eerie phenomenon whatever it is.
they were also way over on the left side so it can't just be car lights from that not-very-well-traveled highway.
who knows what it is, but hanging out there late at night with the wind and the mysterious lights....it sure freaked me out.
all i can say to people is go see it for yourself. there is plenty to do around there, from the modern art in marfa to big bend. at the very least the area attractions make for a nice vacation.
Thanks Josh Putzman for the great music! Maybe it's the Great Pumpkin coming for Charlie Brown! Seriously though, lots of people watch these lights. Supposed to be a Deep Underground Military Base to northeast of Marfa. Map shows that plus Area 51,etc.
Thanks for wasting my time that I will never get back from watching this stupid video. Take the trash out and get this thing off Youtube. I rather watch paint dry.

@PopppaBlue59 There is no reliable documentation of these lights existing in 1883 or before. I just saw them again today and they are still car's headlights.

All the citizens of Marfa, Texas have to be the biggest idiots that I have ever heard of. Instead of making a little platform to view the "phenomenon" as they put it, how about they man themselves up and walk out there, set up cameras or just camp out there to see the stupid lights up close. Wait, I know why, because they dont want to admit this is a hoax...its the car headlights from Highway 67 South you idiots. They just want Tourism there.

@TheJackRIOT The only ideot is YOU. Stop closing your mind and open your self up to the possibilities of the universe--they are much bigger than your mouse size brain. Also, did the citizens of Marfa want tourism 120 years ago when ranchers started seeing them. Don't think so. The citizens of Marfa are level headed folks. The lights are an unexplained phenomena!

I live about an hour from marfa and we always see them. we think that there is some sort of gas that is being released from the ground. THERE IS NOT A ROAD BEHIND MARFA LIGHTS! because they are on a large ranch that does not have anything in that area. The comanches have been seeing them for hundreds of years. It also may be some sort of northern lights. that when the moon hits that area just right, the lights move and change color. Or mabe we will never know.

The Marfa lights phenomenon has been explained, the lights are a result of a Fata Morgana across the Mitchell Flat originating from car headlights on Hwy. 67...It is really quite simple..
gadgetable64 1 year ago
@gadgetable64 I can understand why you would rest on your conclusion if you have not seen these lights with your own eyes. Go out there and see them first hand, then see if you still feel the same way. Yes, mirages can be dramatic, but there is no documented mirage of this type. I promise you, the behavior of these lights defies any such explanation. The movement of these lights and the space they occupy is beyond the phenomenon of Fata Morgana. No scientists have proven anything yet.

jefface1234 1 year ago
Totally real, my brother lived in alpine tx. about a half hour drive from the look out point. We stood watching for almost two hours as it started with 3 lights then progressed to 7 lights, it was the most he'd ever seen in the 2 years he lived there. Very interesting sight that can be seen at almost any given night, i've seen it twice on two separate vacations. Check it out i'm sure you won't be disappointed.
JimmyDreadz 1 year ago
I saw those same lights. Pulsating blue, white, red, blue, orange. I saw them combine together as on larger multi colored ball of light, and them split apart to create a formation of lights. Then I witnessed as they combined together again, and then suddenly fligh away out over the horizon in split seconds.
But I did not see them in Texas. I saw them in Cincinnati Ohio back in 1968 and again in 1969
And I was not alone my sister was with me, and we still remember that day over 40 years ago.

olmecbones 1 year ago
@olmecbones Yes I have seen them. I was fortunate enough to observe them for a couple of hours the first time I went to see them. I live about 2.5 hours from Marfa and as most will tell you they aren't viewable every night. The night I was there the lights were very active going from one sphere up to seven or more moving vertically, horizontally, back and forward with speed that was hard to comprehend.
sandosrules 1 year ago
@sandosrules I can't really argue with you. You may well have seen a mysterious phenomenon. I can't say because I didn't see what you saw.
But what I saw were distant car headlights shimmering like a mirage above a very warm ground on a very cool night. The viewing platform does aligns itself with Hwy 67 South and although it's 13.77 miles away (Google Earth) you would be looking nearly right down the highway and car headlights are visible at that distance.
But, that's just what I saw. :-)

Ah, these Marfa Lights is very very similar to the mysterious lights in our province, Sabangan Mt. Province, Philippines. We call them "Betattiw". No body can really explain what are those lights are. At clear night, we see them around the rice fields and at the hanging bridges. These lights do not glow like torches that can lit up the surroundings. They are just simply like "souls" dancing. These existed in our place sice the time of our ancestors.

I've seen the lights with my own eyes. I sat on the side of the road, and watched with binoculars until the sun went down. There was NOTHING out there that could have generated the lights, then around 11:00 pm they appeared, various colors, moving eraticaly back and forth, up and down. I don't know what they are, but they are NOT headlights from a car because NOTHING and NO ONE was out there.

this caught my attention because I think I've seen this before? I saw 1 to 3 purple lights dance together on the top of a local mountain peak w/ no roads or even paths. they blinked and would brighten then dim to where I only could see them in my telescope. it was one then two, then three then would form back over and over. they moved about a 1/2 mile left and right quickly over and over again. And they lasted all night from 10PM until I went to sleep at 2AM??????? is this similar???????

I saw the eerie Marfa lights in Feb 2008. Earlier that evening I talked with a long-time Marfa resident and he said he believed that the lights were a natural phenomenon such as burning gases given off by minerals. But this same person also said that one of the lights had entered the car window of a resident as she was driving to her ranch, terrifying the woman, and then reexited! If the lights really are burning gases, they would have burned the interior of the vehicle, which didn't happen!
Bonanzza777 2 years ago
I've seen them about three times, each time years apart. Most of what you see are lights that come out of nowhere, dance around, seem to interact with each other, then blink off. They come in white, yellow, red, green and blue, one I saw through binocs was multicolored. Once, my friend and I saw a big, dull orange orb dancing toward us by the road before the viewing area was built. A car went by but you couldn't see the car through the light. It came closer and closer and finally disappeared.

Umm....Yes. Car headlights are absolutely "strong" enough. Even a tree is. Or bare sand in the desert. It happens all the time and you have most likely even seen it for yourself. There were NO sightings in the 1800's. No documentation of it at all! ONLY anecdotal claims by people that say they remember grandad or someone talking about the lights AFTER they had first been reported in the 1950's.

Exactly. Do a search for "skeptoid marfa" (without the quote) and the first link is an exhaustive description of the naturalistic explanation for the whole thing. It's essentially a Fata Morgana mirage. Totally cool, but a natural phenomenon nonetheless.

The century-old mystery of the Marfa lights in West Texas may have been solved by two scientists, one in Houston, the other in Brisbane, Australia. The Australian claims that the similar Min Min lights, in outback Queensland, are caused by freak weather conditions creating an inverted mirage.

These lights cannot be human made because they have been appearing for hundreds of years. The Native Americans have stories of them. The first documentation of them was by a rancher who bought that land back in the 1800s. I myself was intrigued by the phenomenon when I saw them and would go back if I could. If you people have a chance to go to Marfa, take it. It is one of the wierdest things you will ever see.
xXnastyStewXx 3 years ago 2
I have been to the Marfa Lights and they are real. They aren't cars on a highway. There is not highway that way. It's not people shining lights in mountains. There are no mountains that way. Just a flat plain. The lights appear for no explainable reason. The government has had scientists out there trying to figure it out but they still can't. Another thing is you can't reach the lights. You couldn't walk out there and get real close because you can't gauge the distance. They never get closer.
