|
a number of years ago I spend a year in the Big Bend country of Texas. Of
|
|
course many of you wil be familiar with the Marfa lights. Those
|
|
yet-to-be-explained luminaries west of the town of Marfa. And the Big
|
|
Bend National Park has native legends abou ghosts (the mountains there,
|
|
the "Chisos" mean ghosts.) But what about the lights I saw and others as
|
|
well, does anyone have info about them?
|
|
|
|
I heard tell of a woman who insisted that her boss ride down the mountain
|
|
at night. Both of them saw the strange lights that had followed her every
|
|
evening. Legend? But I saw something too, though it was only the one
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
The road goe through a near 6000 foot pass before descending to the desert
|
|
below. Ultimately it reaches the Rio Grande river at 1300 feet. one
|
|
evening about 11:00 PM I was going to park headquarters and about the time
|
|
the road started getting rtelatively flat I saw a light off to the right.
|
|
Since in this very dry country fire is a constant concern and there were
|
|
no campfires allowed at the time I stoped and backed up. It was
|
|
yellow/orange with an angular diameter similar to a 1/3 a small finger hel
|
|
at three feet. But it was quickly gone. Puzzling over th imiage I
|
|
realized that it was not a fire. ALso it was not the lights from another
|
|
car, because there was a low hill or mountain between me and the road. I
|
|
drove on. Afer a couple of mile I came to the intersection and turned
|
|
right towards park headquarters....Then I saw the light, or an identical
|
|
one off to my left, same everyting, including the interveing mountain.
|
|
|
|
At park headquarters I saw it again off to the north/left, but this time
|
|
it was very far in the distance. It seemed to be at the base of a far
|
|
range of cliffs, maybe twenty miles away. (IN the Big Bend you can easily
|
|
see a hundred miles from the right vantage point). I drove north form
|
|
quite a few miles, but never saw it again.
|
|
|
|
Later, I looked at a map. From what I could tell the three points would
|
|
have lined up on a straight line...
|
|
|
|
There are many legends and not a few sightings in this area of the
|
|
country, does anyone have any additional info?
|
|
|
|
Brad.
|
|
|
|
Does anyone have any record of similar reports?
