I went out there atleast 10 times... I always saw something... and one time in particular there were many phenomena involving them moving, changing color, changing size, going onto the desert floor and going up into the sky... the experience was shared with several people.
I've always loved your show over the years. Your wife Meg was my jr high teacher in the early 70s. She told us how sometimes she would ride with you during production. Thanks for the great work!
How interesting! Do you still have family in Marfa? My maternal great grandparents migrated from NM to Marfa in late 1800s. All her children were born/raised in Marfa. All her grandkids/great grand-children and even my sister were born there. I still have a cousin in Marfa, Robert Silva. My great grandma live there alone in her house till she passed in 1961. She was a prominent woman. The hill of land she bought still bears her name, The Montolla Hill. It may be misspelled with a “y” but it’s actually “ll”.
These are also common in the deserts of Arabia. Bedouins there call it “Abu Fanous”. It’s a common belief there that the source of these lights is some kind of mischievous Djinn (aka demons) to lure people lost in the desert into quicksand or get them even more lost.
This must be 25 or more years old. That’s about how long my wife and I have been making the drive down from Midland to see them. They are much more enjoyable to watch since the Clayton and Modesta Williams viewing pavilion was built. With restrooms! Some nights are duds. Our first time to see them years ago was probably the best. They put on a spectacular show for hours. Whites, ambers, reds, greens and even blues were seen. They danced, streaked across the ground, split into twos and threes and converted back to a single light and even shot up into the air like bottle rockets. They seem to have an intelligence at times. You quickly begin to distinguish the genuine Marfa lights from the stream of distant headlights on Hwy. 67 once you’ve seen both. Viewed through strong binoculars they have a plasma appearance. My feeling is that they are caused by some sort of piezoelectric chemical reaction in the soil. As the night air gradually cools the ground, the lights seem to diminish most nights, but not all. They are truly mystery lights!
@@Coinz8if you’re talking about the UT research group, that was a joke. They didn’t do true scientific investigation. All they did was investigate the car lights coming from Presidio on 67. The locals know where to look.
We just saw the Marfa lights last night. There were the orange and red lights in the distance hovering above the ground and flashing really slowly until they appeared somewhere else. I was thinking it could be an optical illusion of sorts and the lights were coming from the cars. I was showing my dad how to look through these binoculars to look at them, and all of a sudden this bright green light appeared much higher up in the sky and shot straight down and disappeared. Everyone awed around us and I was like: “what the heck was that?”
Its called in the arabian countries specially saudi arabia jin abu fanus or lantern geine Its apears in the desert at night to make the people follow it and get lost in the desert We think that some kind of ghosts And its mentioned in our religion. You can search jin abu fanus in youtube Theres a lot of videos
The three times I’ve gone, I always see a bright white orb in the same spot… but it will sometimes seem to slowly bob up and down then vanish, maybe appearing again
@@alfredrodriguez5879 I wasn't talking to you. I was replying to a person named luxter tales who claims weird things. Still waiting for his reply to my comment.
My grandmother use to tell me stories about lights floating and flickering behind their horse and wagons before street lights. She said they were green and red. She said it was a common occurrence.
Was your grandma from Marfa? My greatgrandparents settled there in the late 1800s. We spent a lot of time there. She was well known, owned some land and it’s still carries her name, The Montolla Hill. She lived on Lincoln St.
I got excited when TH-cam showed me this - I hadn’t thought about Texas Country Reporter since I moved away in the 90s. “Wow, they are still going?” Then I see the clip is from 1990. And realize I probably watched it back then sometime. Flashback!
When I was there to see the lights I brought my binoculars, the lights that I saw correlated with traffic on Hwy 67. However I was told by a border patrol that the lights do not appear every day and when they do, they travel erratically.
If it was just cars, why is it just this one spot? The same spot cowboys and settlers about 200 years ago thought were distant campfires? I’m not discounting the possibility that car headlights can cause this, or that some or most “Marfa lights” are just the next highway over. But to just close the book and ignore all the other facts and coincidences? Nuh-uh. It’s something. Just what we don’t know
I've been there twice. If they were seen in the late 1880's, it certainly wasn't a car. It's a really cool place that is simply unexplainable. My guess? Too many to list. But it's a wild natural sight for sure.
What amazes me is how many people buy into the car light theory LOL. The Marfia lights have been reported for over 135 years.Well before highways,cars or electricity on the ranches existed.seen them a few times, definitely unexplainable.
@@bluelilly1025you go to these areas the lights get more far. How is that true. Give me your proof that there were scientists that said that. And the light are different shapes and sizes.
That's crazy, I seen similar lights on 2 separate occasions here in mid Michigan. The first were a pair of 2 traveling with eachother and both slowly dimmed one after the other and then just disappeared. The second was a very bright singular light flying higher than a plane I seen fly under it slowly heading north until eventually dimming and disappearing aswell. I also got a video of the the second sighting.
@montydaniels1054 I'm in Haslett, which is east of east lansing. I saw the last light going north a few miles from me last friday and 620pm, and it just slowly dimmed and then vanished.
@@Ghost-tw7xw Thanks for the reply. Where I'm at, there's so much light pollution it would be pretty much impossible to see lights like you've been able to see, and I'd probably have to drive 25 miles or more just to get to areas with less city lights... I'm going to do some research here locally to see if any people in my area have witnessed seeing these lights... Thanks again for the reply, Dan
Arabs called it ( jin Abu fanus), nobody tried to follow the light because you either will be lost or it will leads to dangrous road. But i tried to follow it, when i came closer it just disappeared and started to shine in defferent dirction then i knew that i will never be able to reach it.
Groups of friends went to see them many times when I attended Sul Ross in the 70s. The lights didn’t show up the first time or two we went, but it was a pretty common thing to do back then so kids went a lot. There was never any large or close up ball of light; they were always off in the distance. We’d just pull off into a field and wait. Most of the time we’d see them, different numbers and colors. Sometimes they’d dance around, kind of bounce up and down, disappear then reappear somewhere else. It was entertaining, not really creepy. But then I was 18-19 and not much was creepy back then.
We usually see this marfa lights in saudi everytime we’re traveling at night or when we go to spend times in the desert almost everyone there saw it if not in the desert definitely in the roads when they travel, it’s normal for us and we believe if u chase this light it will lead you to get lost in the middle of the desert. It is very interesting to spend time in the desert you will see many paranormal things.
@Cheetz I do have photos of them. I had to turn off my external flash on my camera. No one for sure knows what it is. And this place is out in the middle of nowhere. I don't think anyone wants to spend the money to find out what causes them. They don't hurt anything...
I have seen the marfa lights 1883 so people that dismiss them as headlights are in a word wrong. It could be a mirage but the problem is you can also see them when there is no temperature inversion. Could be a form of swamp gas. The most unlikely explanation is it's a ghost carrying a lantern looking for his head. Plain fact of the matter is they are still unsolved and perhaps they should stay that way. People often mistake Martha lights for the headlights on the highway but the real Martha lights are quite different and distinct. Also they appear in different colors sometimes they're yellow sometimes they are red sometimes they are even blue. When you mistake Marfa lights for headlights than there usually a pair of them and usually they are white. The marfa lights can split into two and can zig-zag and go in all different patterns proving that it's not a car. And they can merge into a single light and zip off at amazing speed. All of the people that dismiss them as nothing but kors wrong look for another explanation. I have even seen orbs float around and when they hit the power lines there's an explosion. It could be swamp gas but all of them can't be explained as swamp gas. I mean the military employed the best scientist who offered a lot of theories but no proof. You cannot put your theory out there as the absolute answer if you cannot prove it. My personal belief is it is Saint Elmo's fire or some kind of swamp gas. Just putting my theory out there I don't say is she answer because I, like them, cannot prove it.
Literally caught some lights on my video and explaining to my co driver what i captured driving through NM last night and he says look up MARFA LIGHTS. 🤯 WTH!! I see these darn things all the time!!!
When I was in a band on the road in the 70's I visited the spot in Marfa and observed the lights. They looked like house lights against the hills (mountain) and would then go straight up like a bubble in a carbonated drink. I don't see that in these videos. Went there 3 or 4 nights in a row.
When i was a kid (10) on summer break we would go to Coahuila México to visit my grandma and There was a field in the distance. You could see the mountains and in between there was nothing . I would sit on the rocking chair and see some lights that look like fire. I told my grandma One night I see these lights that looked like fire in the distance, she said There was a lot of spaniards here that buried gold, if your seeing that they are showing you where it is buried ! Till this day, I want to go Back And look for the gold
That would be a dream job to me living on a ranch in marfa Texas and being a rancher as well as a Sod-Buster. I've always wanted to live off the land unfortunately I'm 51 years old and I'm probably too old now. I became a printer instead making 1808 an hour in 2006. And since at the time I was living pretty good I forgot about my goal when I was still young enough to do it.
i remember taking the bus from to texas as a kid around 2000, one particular time we were traveling through the pitch black desert and suddenly there was a bright spot light off in the horizon, following side by side for a mile till it disappeared, it looked huge and was probably a mile or from us. It wasnt unusual to see lights in the sky moving in odd directions either, almost every time we went we saw something in the sky moving in a odd way, some even zigzagged. Still, not the strangest things ive seen.
They are kind of Demons that lives mainly in the deserts, they also appeared in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, many people who were driving in the deserts faced death for following the light as they get lost in the middle of the desert or end up crashing their cars in to rocks or mountains.
Another reason to believe in islam Prophet Muhammad ﷺ told us to recite adhan to them They immediately disappear because they fear adhan And you should never ever follow them because you'll get lost but never catch them
@@servantof_allah about 2,500 years ago the Ancient Ones captured a demon that was killing their goats. The demon or spirit was trapped inside what is now called a "Medicine Wheel", but was used in prehistoric times to bind and trap evil spirits. The remains of the wheel can be found in the desert south of Marfa near one of the Air Force's long-abandoned airfield. I do not recommend looking for it, it is protected by Watchers.
These little one and two lights is not remotely a serious display. They've are awesome. A crowd of people I was in were ooohhhhhing and aaahhhhing every 15 to 30 seconds. Most of these people simply have seen the real deal.
Has anyone tried to chase them down? Or get close? I'm all sorts of interested in stuff like this! I'm always in texas somewhere because I drive over the road, would be cool to go there and see for myself.
They don't last long. Think about when you wave a sparkle around and the trail it leaves in the air for less than a second. And they move around very quickly. Just looking? I wouldn't want to walk all the way out there it seems like a mile or so. But like mountains in the distance, the lights distance can fool you too I bet.
Kinda difficult as well because there's a bunch of cacti and other spiny plants between the road and the lights. Plus they move around. Would be interesting to try though.
I don’t know about the Marfa lights themselves but there’s a similar phenomenon in the deserts of Arabia and bedouins there call it “Abu Fanous”. Stories say that people tried to chase the lights and the more they walk the further the lights go away. I’ve also heard some stories that people have gone mad trying to reach them that they died of thirst walking towards them.
Has anyone just walked up to the area while it's happening? There must have been. I find it strange that this isn't being researched more. So are the ruins I saw near the viewing area on Google maps are from the airbase? is that the area where the lights occur?
That would require miles of walking, and you’ll need permission from the land owners as it’s private property. And as someone who was raised in that area, good luck getting permission because our ranchers don’t take very kindly to people on their property
They are real. I thought they were car lights for a while. Then the show began. Just like the guy described in the video. The move all over the place, get bright them dim, even seem to evaporate and shine again. You have to see it to believe it.
Am I crazy to think it might be an easy thing to figure out? If the lights appear most nights, why not just move closer to them the following night. If they find a highway close to that location, case closed....headlights. Why would everyone stay that far away just to see them? Doesn't make a lot of sense.
I witnessed these and it was fantastic. I got a baseline watching the house lights coming on and the traffic on the mountain to the west as the sun set and then it began. Blobs of light started popping up and began moving towards us. This was 1993 and I was with my mother on a trip to West Texas just after my dad passed. I took my wife there in 2008 and it was misty/overcast, and we didn't see anything. But 1993 was special. Also, we stayed at Hotel Paisano in 93 and 08. It's where the cast of Giant stayed when that film was made. It's a wonderful hotel.
I went there once and I'll be back very soon. They were neat but one was blinking like an ambulance and then an ambulance passed by 10min later blinking the same lights heading towards alpine. maybe I wasn't even looking at the correct lights, but anyways it was interesting.
I’ve seen a light in this area. It was really close and definitely not a car light. At first I thought comet or asteroid and just left it there until I heard Dan Akroid mention it on Joe Rogan.
@@noeflores8049 I've figured out that I have drones follow me everywhere. I'm talking I had 2 follow me to my son's basketball game 45 minutes away and then they followed me back home. Flying drones and ground drones. It's crazy
why hasn't a group of people gone out and stand in the fields to see what they are? viewing from a mile or two away is going to tell you nothing but speculation
This is abu fanus which mean Lantern owner A kind of devil that you will not see and you will not be able to approach him. He only exists in the desert so that you believe there is someone and walk until you are lost in Saudi Arabia in the huge desert you will see the light and all know that light if you follow it you will lost
Stacked bars probably of Spanish descent, gold , gold buried at a certain depth radiated by the Sun ☀️ and electrically charged by natural process during lightning storms produce a significant electrical discharge or flares at dusk and especially on days of 60% humidity or higher can act as a movie screen 🪞 reflecting the gold flare being a super conductor. Stacked bars of gold can discharge electrical flares depending on the purity of the gold and the intensity of the Sun ☀️ for how ever many days , and how it's stacked can produce geometric shaped flares a old way to recover gold stashes and even a way to booby trap the gold stash was a strong enough electrical charge to stop the human heart ( dead mans gold. ) aleast for who ever touches it without discharging the stack . Usually the Spanish just had a unwitting guy grab it and then they continued with their business of recovery who knows?
I went out there atleast 10 times... I always saw something... and one time in particular there were many phenomena involving them moving, changing color, changing size, going onto the desert floor and going up into the sky... the experience was shared with several people.

its 2021. And nobody sent a drone out to see if they can get closer? Maybe trail cams?
Exactly my thoughts. A battery modded mavic can go 15 miles and last 45 minutes in air flight. And nobody done it?

This must be 25 or more years old. That’s about how long my wife and I have been making the drive down from Midland to see them.

They are kind of Demons that lives mainly in the deserts, they also appeared in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, many people who were driving in the deserts faced death for following the light as they get lost in the middle of the desert or end up crashing their cars in to rocks or mountains.
Another reason to believe in islam
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ told us to recite adhan to them
They immediately disappear because they fear adhan
And you should never ever follow them because you'll get lost but never catch them
@@servantof_allah about 2,500 years ago the Ancient Ones captured a demon that was killing their goats. The demon or spirit was trapped inside what is now called a "Medicine Wheel", but was used in prehistoric times to bind and trap evil spirits. The remains of the wheel can be found in the desert south of Marfa near one of the Air Force's long-abandoned airfield. I do not recommend looking for it, it is protected by Watchers.
This fenomenal happened all around the world, in indonesia, Thailand etc, this happened since the ancient time.
Looks like the same lights at Rosales Chihuahua, behind the Cerro de la Cruz.
King of the Hill brought me here
These little one and two lights is not remotely a serious display. They've are awesome. A crowd of people I was in were ooohhhhhing and aaahhhhing every 15 to 30 seconds. Most of these people simply have seen the real deal.
Has anyone tried to chase them down? Or get close? I'm all sorts of interested in stuff like this! I'm always in texas somewhere because I drive over the road, would be cool to go there and see for myself.
You can't chase down an alien spaceship , La derr.
They don't last long. Think about when you wave a sparkle around and the trail it leaves in the air for less than a second. And they move around very quickly. Just looking? I wouldn't want to walk all the way out there it seems like a mile or so. But like mountains in the distance, the lights distance can fool you too I bet.
Kinda difficult as well because there's a bunch of cacti and other spiny plants between the road and the lights. Plus they move around. Would be interesting to try though.
I don’t know about the Marfa lights themselves but there’s a similar phenomenon in the deserts of Arabia and bedouins there call it “Abu Fanous”. Stories say that people tried to chase the lights and the more they walk the further the lights go away. I’ve also heard some stories that people have gone mad trying to reach them that they died of thirst walking towards them.
Never ever try to chase them because you'll get lost
Recite adhan to them as told by prophet Muhammad ﷺ
high quality videos as usual...
Has anyone just walked up to the area while it's happening? There must have been. I find it strange that this isn't being researched more. So are the ruins I saw near the viewing area on Google maps are from the airbase? is that the area where the lights occur?
That would require miles of walking, and you’ll need permission from the land owners as it’s private property. And as someone who was raised in that area, good luck getting permission because our ranchers don’t take very kindly to people on their property
They are real. I thought they were car lights for a while. Then the show began. Just like the guy described in the video. The move all over the place, get bright them dim, even seem to evaporate and shine again. You have to see it to believe it.
I might be traveling there soon. Where did you park or stay? First timer here…
@@bluelilly1025 I think we stayed at The Value Inn in Alpine. It was 20 years ago! There are a few hotels there.
@@bluelilly1025check for the one in Saudi Arabia called ابو فانوس
Am I crazy to think it might be an easy thing to figure out? If the lights appear most nights, why not just move closer to them the following night. If they find a highway close to that location, case closed....headlights. Why would everyone stay that far away just to see them? Doesn't make a lot of sense.
you can see the light in arabinan deserts too
One cannot believe this until they see it.
Oh wow, Fritz when we was still alive! I recall the lights, the airport, the ranches, beauty & solitude forever ♥️
Those blinking light , lol , lightning bugs for sho.
I witnessed these and it was fantastic. I got a baseline watching the house lights coming on and the traffic on the mountain to the west as the sun set and then it began. Blobs of light started popping up and began moving towards us. This was 1993 and I was with my mother on a trip to West Texas just after my dad passed. I took my wife there in 2008 and it was misty/overcast, and we didn't see anything. But 1993 was special. Also, we stayed at Hotel Paisano in 93 and 08. It's where the cast of Giant stayed when that film was made. It's a wonderful hotel.
How about the"brown mountain lights"in North Carolina?😎😎😎
I saw a video shared on facebook. It showed a similar light but in a tropical forest instead. It was moving erratically.
That was a satellite
I went there once and I'll be back very soon. They were neat but one was blinking like an ambulance and then an ambulance passed by 10min later blinking the same lights heading towards alpine. maybe I wasn't even looking at the correct lights, but anyways it was interesting.
when u see random orbs in desert, just dont follow it
We have something similar in Norway Hessdalen. It looks almlost completely the same.
I’ve seen a light in this area. It was really close and definitely not a car light. At first I thought comet or asteroid and just left it there until I heard Dan Akroid mention it on Joe Rogan.
I'm seeing lights exactly like these in Llano, TX right now
So what do you think it is?
@@noeflores8049 I've figured out that I have drones follow me everywhere. I'm talking I had 2 follow me to my son's basketball game 45 minutes away and then they followed me back home. Flying drones and ground drones. It's crazy
@@noeflores8049 well..... You just _had_ to ask, didn't you?
@@mattbaker9323 Whoa 😮 Who is following you with drones man? Are you into suspect activities?
@@shanemiller6982 My life is way too boring to be of interest to anyone else.
We have lights like that here in N.C. to. They appear on Brown Mountain and no one can explain what they are.
Just watched a video from Wendigoon about that. Really interesting. First think I thought of was the Marfa lights.
Has there ever been any cattle mutalations in the same area, or any crop circles formed?
why hasn't a group of people gone out and stand in the fields to see what they are?
viewing from a mile or two away is going to tell you nothing but speculation
If i were to show these to my grandparents they would say those lights are witches lol
I would just go out there and see for myself
It's "swamp gas."
Fer shure.
Lekker man lekker
Afrikaans? koel
The Marfa Lights have been proven to be reflective. Depending on either atmospheric elements or vehicular traffic. It's fun to speculate though.
Coming from an energy source in the ground. Similar to the Northern Lights from the sun
What the heck is that up in the sky at 2:11 ???
Dirt on the lens
@@monos70
I think you're right. Have you ever seen the strange lights in Ft Worth?

👍💪
The lights cannot be Car lights because 1. They move too fast and 2. They have been reported being seen since before the age of automobiles.
i see it a lot in my county Oman! Maybe it is Jin!!
Aliens
This is abu fanus which mean Lantern owner A kind of devil that you will not see and you will not be able to approach him. He only exists in the desert so that you believe there is someone and walk until you are lost in Saudi Arabia in the huge desert you will see the light and all know that light if you follow it you will lost
less footage of the locals, more footage of the lights. zoom in and unblur
pretty common in Saudi Arabia
It’s Houston traffic headlights
I’ve seen them in Hawaii!
JRE brought me here
Drones,bruh: use fries to chk it out bruh...
Mina Rite or fools golden ?
those are vehicle headlights 20 miles away .....
the lights were first sighted in 1880. there werent any cars back then.
Seriously. Time for some rich youtuber to send a swarm of drones out there to finally find out. 135 years issalonnngtiimmmee
Stacked bars probably of Spanish descent, gold , gold buried at a certain depth radiated by the Sun ☀️ and electrically charged by natural process during lightning storms produce a significant electrical discharge or flares at dusk and especially on days of 60% humidity or higher can act as a movie screen 🪞 reflecting the gold flare being a super conductor. Stacked bars of gold can discharge electrical flares depending on the purity of the gold and the intensity of the Sun ☀️ for how ever many days , and how it's stacked can produce geometric shaped flares a old way to recover gold stashes and even a way to booby trap the gold stash was a strong enough electrical charge to stop the human heart ( dead mans gold. ) aleast for who ever touches it without discharging the stack . Usually the Spanish just had a unwitting guy grab it and then they continued with their business of recovery who knows?
