Marfa Lights- what are they and have you seen them?

[mysteriew]

With darkness toward to the east and the remnants of a spectacular sunset to the west, the first cries erupt.

"Look! Look!"

Fingers point. Binoculars get fine tuned. A few cameras click. All the attention focuses on specks of brilliance.

Legend. Myth. Natural phenomenon. UFOs?

Nevada has Area 51. New Mexico has Roswell. Texas has the Marfa Lights.

Whatever's out there sparkling or dancing across Mitchell Flat and toward the Chinati Mountains has both befuddled people and attracted them to this remote area east of Marfa for well over a century.

Unsolved Mysteries had a segment about these. It was thought provoking and curious, seems like car headlights could be ruled out. Maybe they need observers in the distance to get a better perspective on them. I doubt they are UFO's since they have been visible for many years, according to UM's.
