Witness account

Narrative

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. A few lights passed by before this really bright orb. The animals in the neighborhood started going crazy right about the same time. submitted by /u/Studio_Innovatus
