UFO Investigators Noe Torres and Ruben Uriarte filmed these segments during a visit to Marfa, Texas on 1/3/2007, while investigating a UFO crash in nearby Coyame, Mexico. These strange lights have been seen against the backdrop of the Chinati Mountains since the late 1800s.

  • The lights are the result of a naturally occurring phenomenon, the piezoelectric effect, discovered by Pierre Curie in 1883. The mountainous region is made up of mostly rocks containing quartz that expand during the day and contract at night, due to thermal expansion. This expansion and contraction creates stress on the quartz crystals which in turn is converted into voltage that is accumulated over time until it is then discharged into the atmosphere creating a ball lightning effect.

  • plasma lightning balls discharging from the crystals in the Mtns.

  • i am from Alpine and have seen the lights on many occasions. the weird thing is when they appear clearly above the mountains in the sky and move around. They also change colors. I plan on going back sometime this week and taking my spotting scope with a camera and my night vision monocular. the bad thing about it is that you really cant pursue them. you have to realize this place is out in the middle of no where and there are only ranch roads. you run the chance of falling and breaking a limb,

  • I guess that is why it remains a MYSTERY! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and we may never really know what it is.....

    Stay happy!

  • Seeing the Marfa Lights is on my Bucket List.

  • haha i live in marfa there no streets for there to be streetlights out there

  • when i was little i didnt believe my dad's claims of mysterious lights in Marfa when we used to pass by ,everytime we headed to California.now by watching this,now it kinda gives me the creeps lol.of course ,its been a long time we've been taking another road to get to Van Horn faster

  • Excellent work by Noe Torres and Ruben Uriarte.

    It seems to me that ufo sightings are on the increase and I get the feeling that we're heading towards a big event.

    Thanks for this video.

  • street lights? i swear you people are ignorant. why is it so hard to accept that we are not alone in the universe? because its not on the 5 o'clock news? its never going to be on the news as long as the government has control of the media. use abit of common sense. the universe is huge....

  • HHmmmmm....Street lights!!!
