Marfa Lights
The Marfa Lights, also known as the Marfa Mystery Lights, are unexplained glowing orbs observed regularly in the high Chihuahuan Desert east of Marfa, Texas. First recorded in 1883 by young cowhand Robert Reed Ellison, these mystery lights appear in various colors, dancing, merging, and splitting across the desert horizon, inspiring over a century of paranormal lore and scientific debate.
