The mystery of the ghostly light makes scientists scratch their heads

The Marfa lights (Marfa lights) are a phenomenon of strange lights appearing in the sky near the town of Marfa, Texas, USA. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many people for decades, and its origin remains mysterious.

Marfa lights often appear as white or red balls of light.

Today we have discovered exoplanets thousands of light years away from earth. We have explored the depths of the ocean and conquered the highest peaks. We study Quantum Physics and build quantum computers but for some reason we still don't know about these strange lights in the night sky.

There are lights that regularly appear near the town of Marfa in West Texas, they are about the size of basketballs, suddenly appearing out of nowhere at night . The existence of these lights is not a legend but a fact that has been confirmed by scientists. But they still need to explain its nature.

Their colors range from yellow-orange to green, blue and red. These lights tend to be seen from about 9 miles east of Marfa on US Highway 90, in an area known as the Marfa Lights Observation Area . They are often reported as distant points of light, distinguishable from farm lights and car headlights on Highway 67 by their irregular movements.

A local shepherd first noticed the Marfa flare in 1883. At first he thought it was a fire created by natives. However, upon inspection, there was no trace of fire in the area where the light flew above. Over the decades, many other witnesses have reported seeing unexplained lights in the area.

Then in the 40s, pilots of the nearest Midland airport saw the Marfa light. They also wanted to find out the secret of this phenomenon but could not find anything. More and more people are seeing these strange lights, many of them are sure that the lights are some ships of extraterrestrial civilizations, others think they are wandering spirits. ladder.

Scientists say it could be an optical illusion that occurs when a layer of cold air overlaps a layer of warm air; you can observe a similar visual effect in the ocean when you see a ship. is floating in the air above the horizon.

While paranormal enthusiasts consider the Marfa lights as potential evidence of UFOs, ghosts or ghosts . Many people believe that the Marfa lights are evidence of the presence of UFOs. The light moved and changed shape in strange ways, which they said could not be explained by natural phenomena. Some scientists believe that the Marfa lights are simply caused by errors in refraction of light from vehicle headlights or other artificial light sources. They explain that the area's dry atmosphere and unique optics can cause light to bend and create the illusion of objects flying across the sky.

The Marfa lights have become an important part of the town of Marfa's identity, attracting visitors and boosting the local economy.

Another theory is that the Marfa lights are caused by methane gas escaping from the ground. When methane gas burns, it can create small flames, which move with the wind and create strange lighting effects. Some researchers believe that the Marfa lights may be related to unusual electromagnetic activities in the area. They suggest that these activities may cause ionization of the air, leading to the glow.

Aerospace engineer James Ban explains the nature of the Marfa flares as originating from unusual electrical charges . Solid substances such as minerals and various crystals generate electricity under pressure. And this underground energy burst out in the form of multicolored light but scientists could not prove their theory. To this day, the Marfa lights remain a mystery.
