well im 15 years old and i have seen this light ever since i was like 7 years old we go to Ojinaga and we always stop on our way back and they are color lights so i really dont think that this lights are headlights at all! I have been there alot but i always ask my mother to stop there cause i love to see this lights and think what can they be.

Well I have live in Marfa my whole life i have seen the Lights that occur to be jumping up and down. They are quite beautiful to me but i don’t know to everybody else hopefully nobody reveals the mystery other wise Marfa Lights will no longer be a myster.
Thanks,
Abel

i have seen these. and in all actuallity it reminded me of cell mitosis and meosis… it was an awsome thing to see and i recomend it to anyone who is new to texas…

I have been coming here since I was a child it is awesome – the visitors center is very nice – a must see if you are going to be in that area…

That headlight theory was debunked over and over. The fact is, the highway on the opposite side has had “sentries” posted to record when cars went by and there blocks of hours where there were no cars and yet, the lights still danced. If they were headlights, why were they reported back in the time before the civil war? They were reported after Texas won its independence from Mexico.

ok dot, the lights are colored, move up and down, and have been around longer than cars or highways. i have seen the lights myself and they move entirely to fast or slow to be cars. some even look like they are coming towards you. i really don’t think that it is headlights.
also, we are not idiots or fools. and the visitation site is free, so marfa isn’t making money of it. get your stuff right.

Umm, I lived in the Davis Resort about 10 miles from the mountains where people see these lights. The legend doesnt say anything about spirits, people think its alien activity. Hence why they have festivals and all that and sell blow up alien figures and little alien toys. At least get your story straight before posting nonsense on here.

I absolutely love it when the egg heads from the science community come to our part of the country and come up with the “Scientific”reason(Answer?) to every thing. Then leave with egg on their face.Science can’t answer all questions. I would venture to say that at least 90% of the nay sayers have never been to Marfa.

I have seen them. I have heard the headlight theory but the lights appear out in the sagebrush below the horizon. they do look like headlights blinking on one at a time, then they disappear one at a time. Best time to see them is right at dusk. I’m sure there is a scientific explanation for them but people have been seeing them for over 100 years and nobody has figured it out yet. We drove south to the railroad and followed it west a mile or two. After a while we saw a light to the east along the tracks. it looked exactly like a train headlight, then we realized it was a Marfa light. Go see them yourself.

These lights are for real, My good friends all live there we always sit out front and check out these amazing mistarious lights.

I’ve seen them several times. Always around Christmas time. I’ve seen one light split into two and those two split into two more each. For some of the skeptics (who’ve obviously never been to see them), Headlights don’t act that way…not to mention Native Americans have stories about the lights that date back 300+ years…

I been at the Marfa lights several times and it is true we have followed the lights as far as we could but we never caught up with it. Close by We visited McDonald Observatory of Texas A&M these professors work at night bimming a strong light toward the stars and the sky they work at night. I have come to the conclusion that it could be the reflection of the bright light bimming from the Observatory (telescopes) directly to Marfa but that is my thought. Many say it was a man lost in the desert still search and trying to find his way out. But my belief it has something to do with the study of the sky reflection.

We have been to Marfa several times (from Illinois) and although my husband readily sees the lights, red, green, dots, bars, etc. I cannot see them. I have heard that not everyone can see them, and sorry to say I am one. They sound great, my eyesight is perfect, but I just cannot see them. Is there anyone else with this problem?

It’s distant headlights on Highway 67. A group of university students confirmed this, going so far as to specifically identify one of the lights as a vehicle from a chase vehicle that they were driving on the highway. The appearance of the lights corresponds to the distant highway when superimposed on a daylight shot.

It will be cool to visit there since my parents are from Chihuahua it will be cool to stop by and see.

Would someone provide a link to verify the supposed study by “university students”?

I grew up in West Texas, They are real, as a child I saw them several times, my dad took me to see them and I saw them several times with my girlscout troop, I live in Austin now, but I am planning a trip to take my 11 year daughter, I don’t know what they are but I have heard that back in the 40′s during military training exercises, their were plan crashes because the lights mocked runway lights, so they shut down the airforce base out there, I dont know if it is true or not, but its all I know, you’ll believe it when you see it.

I have seen the lights a few times, I love going to see them, they definately are unexplained and amazing…I want to go back someday..
