Subject: Hornet Spook Light
I used to live in Miami Oklahoma and frequented the spooklight road at least two or three times a week for about 18 months or more in 67-69. As you are aware there are documented reports of the light being seen in wagon and buggy days - way before the advent of our smog machines we call cars!
Also, I was there one night, with other people, and we waited until there were no cars present except our own. If you are familiar with the road, there is a small creek way down the road...a mile MAY be a close guess. That particular night the Spooklight was not seen at a distance. It came within about 50 feet of our hood and was as big as a basketball! We had been out there many nights before but all yelled: "TURN ON THE LIGHTS!" My sister did so which took forever it seemed. They were hidden headlights on a 1968 Ford Galaxy. That was no car light that close sir.
Thanks again for your sight. Your sight is very refreshing compared to the run-of-the mill stuff I usually see.
My sister now lives fairly close to the Marfa Ghost Lights in Alpine Texas. My mother has seen those lights and says they are not at all like the Hornet light. Oh well. They are something! :)
