My wife, son and I went to Marfa Texas in late July 2003. Just before darkness settled a white light appeared across the plains at the top of the mountain. It stayed there a few seconds and then went straight into the clear sky. A lady sitting down from me at the viewing stand said" I have been coming here for years and that's the first one I've seen do that." I watched a green light through binoculars split into 6 lights and chase each other. I gave them to my son and he counted seven lights. We were there for about 2 hours and the moving and different color lights were active and pleasant to watch. My son and I saw one white light split into 3 lights side by side the switch to up and down and then they just played around in circles. Some want to say its lights from cars coming from Presidio but the Indians and cowboys in the 1880's reported seeing them. Someone there told me the Army went out there with radio men and helicopters to find them but the lights were faster and more maneuverable than the choppers. I don't know what they are but it was worth the trip to West Texas just to see the lights. Marfa is a nice town and there is a viewing stand where you can watch the light show. Bring your own chair and a jacket. The elevation is higher than Denver and gets chilly at night.
