Marfa Lights

For decades, observers have reported mysterious lights over the vast Texas desert near Marfa, Texas. Several studies indicate that what most people observe are lights from vehicles or other known sources, which are refracted by various atmospheric conditions. However, not all photos, videos, and reports fall under this explanation. This is what we call "The Two Light Problem". The Two Light Problem Light #1 is an ordinary light such as vehicle, radio tower, aircraft, etc, that when observed a...

As a physical scientist, I strongly believe in presenting evidence in a way that can be quantifiable. In fact, almost all of my work is just that. I work on experimental observations using physiochemical models to describe complex reaction mechanisms. While doing such, the key focus is to increase signal-to-noise ratios of observations, and reduce any false-positives. This is the approach that I took when investigating the Marfa Mystery Lights just outside of Marfa Texas. We built a model tha...

Time: 11:48 PM, April 12 Location: Marfa, TX After sitting for two-ish hours watching the Marfa lights and getting some rather unconvincing video, I returned to my Airbnb and noticed some erratic moving lights in the sky on the outskirts of town.
