outside of West Texas in the town of Marfa lies another of those unsolved mysteries. Just above the Chinati Mountains in the Chihuahuan Desert, you will find the Marfa lights.

Though sometimes stationary, brightening and dimming, the Marfa lights dance, bounce, split in two, merge together, or shoot across the sky, giving observers an awe-inspiring light show.

Reportedly, they can be yellow, orange, green, blue, pink, white, or red and appear above the desert vegetation of Mitchell Flats. One of the best Marfa lights viewing areas is a swath of land on the shoulder of Highway 90, nine miles east of Marfa.

The lights are said to be distant spots of brightness that can be easily distinguishable from lights on farms and ranches and vehicle headlights traveling on Highway 67.

Because no universally accepted explanation has been provided for the Marfa lights, there have been several strange and creepy theories about where the lights came from. And, as you might imagine, the theories about the Marfa lights range from out of this world to kind of reasonable.

UFOs and extraterrestrial life
As with anything that we can’t explain in the sky, some believe the Marfa lights are UFOs coming and going in the desert, far away from the prying eyes and dangers of humankind.

Marfa is overrated AF. About the only cool thing is the Prada art and you can see that via Google.

They’re beautiful but full of the most insufferable of Texas hipsters.

It’s beautiful area no doubt but the city of Marfa is overrated. It is one giant tourist trap in the desert.

Pretty sure Marfa lights are just Fata Morgana. I’ve seen it on hot highways.

I’ve seen the lights. There is a simple scientific explanation for them. No spoilers, but it’s not aliens.

Absolutely. AT night is when the coyotes can smuggle illegal aliens into the U.S. and make the most progress.

In 2004, a four-day study by Society of Physics students at the University of Texas at Dallas found that the appearance of the lights corresponded with the flow of traffic.

Another internet "proof".

If you like flying gliders for a long time the Marfa area is pretty good. Gets some kind of wind ridge along there.
