Marfa Lights Explained

Marfa Lights Explained


billsoxs writes "The Marfa lights are ghostly lights that have been
observed for years around Marfa TX (near [0] Big Bend). They have been
the subject of [1] curiosity , a [2] source of tourism and [3]
scientifically studied a number of times. Now a group of physics students
from the University of Texas at Dallas ([4]UTD) have use small lasers and
traffic sensors to show that these lights are most likely headlights from
cars on a distant highway. The publication is in the [5]Society of
Physics Students website. The PDF of the article is[6] here.
(Unfortunately the related video is no longer available on the web but
more stuff is [7]here.)"
