I am 50 years old now, and I saw the Crossett Light twice-once when I was about 8 years old and again at about 13 years old. I live in Texas, but on trips to visit relatives in Crossett, we would go out to the railroad tracks to view the infamous light. I've never witnessed anything else in my life "mysterious", but "the light" is absolutely out there. The tracks are in the middle of nowhere, where no refections or any other kind of light could explain it. As you are looking down the tracks, it appears. Sometimes it would change colors, but primarily it was white. It would change sizes, and the most incredible thing was that it would dart into the woods in a straight line, and you could see it hovering among the trees. Then, it would dart back, right in the middle of the tracks and just glow steadily. I have heard that scientists have studied it, and that Reader's Digest wrote an article about it many years ago. I don't know if either of these are facts. All I know is that the light was there, and to my knowledge it has never been explained.
