The thing we've run into with UFO/UAP phenomenon is there are lots of explanations for various aerial phenomenon and so we can't say they are all alien-driven technology. The same goes for those glowing spooklights that exist in most states, and have various and often unexplained origins.
Spooklights noted in places like -
Surrency, GA
Brown Mountain, NC
Marfa, TX
Hornet, MO
Saratoga, TX
LaGrange, OR
Chapel Hill, TN
Eagle River, WI
Crisfield, MD
Gonzales, MI
Bucks County, PA
These are just some of the locations (above)
For whatever reason, a good deal of spooklights are near railroad tracks. Could it be a static electricity spark? Well, most locals will say it's a ghost train or workers along an ancient wreck holding lanterns.
Many theories have come forth about what causes spooklights -
Swamp Gas
Venus
Ghost Lanterns
Bigfoot
Car Lights
Will-O-The-Wisps
Bioluminescent swamp decay
Ghosts
Ghost Train Lights
Alien plasma
Here's an example of a green orb light conundrum that I ran into in a mining town. A few investigations in this location provided an ongoing ghost town issue - although the town was mostly empty, the mining continued. People reported a green orb or light that appeared and disappeared. I took note of the timing and the conditions.
The town was at the base of a mountain in a deep crevice where wind was very strong and constant in an extremely dry location. The static electricity caught my attention because hair stood on end and touching a metal doorknob was a kiss of death.
Upon inquiring about chemicals utilized in mining, boric acid, was mentioned. This is a chemical that burns green.
Was static electricity enough to spark it to light?
I did some interviews with a biology professor at a major California University. He agreed, yes, this was feasible.
It may have been an explanation for that particular "spooklight" but that was transient and showed itself in various locations within the town and mines.
Most reported spooklights are in the same location, so much so that locals can stand in a spot and on a good evening, view it.
Here's the Brown Mountain lights in North Carolina -
As a long-term researcher of Bigfoot, I have found that the same woods they are witnessed in also have reports of orb lights. In the case of these, often they are impossible to find, as the sooner you get closer to it, the further into the forest it seems to retreat. There are theories Bigfoot are teasing folks to get lost, but honestly I think they have more important things to do.
In one video from a game cam on a habituation site in Texas, I witnessed one of these lights show up and from behind the light or within the light (not sure), a Bigfoot ran out and away and the light was gone. Do they travel from one existence to another and the light is the indicator of the travel technique?
Do Bigfoot know how to use frequenies that produce light and for what reason?
You can see how chasing the origin of a spooklight can be quite exasperating. I think a good first step is to Google Earth the location and figure out where all the roads go and at what elevations to eliminate the car headlight factor.
If you want to pursue something of a ghostly explanation, you might want to look into battlefields and soldiers movements, abandoned asylums and jails, and any other oddities happening there like UFO reports, ghost voices in the woods, major train wrecks, and other contributing factors. Checking out reports of spooklight happenings and the date and time and comparing with weather archives might be helpful, as well
When people say we've already mapped and accounted for the known world, they are neglecting the spooklights, the paranormal quaities of Bigfoot, the sky we haven't fully mapped, the oceans we barely mapped, and the critters we thought were extinct that show up from time to time. There is still so much to explore and archive.
Never stop pondering the mysteries -
