In the book Hunting Marfa Lights,
James Bunnell explains why the
lights he classifies as “CE-III” are
not caused by car headlights. From
the Amazon.com page:
“Based on data collected, the author
finds that while most of the observed
lights in this area can be explained,
about 3 percent are truly mysterious
and of unknown origin.”
According to Bunnell’s book (pages
168-169), “Letters ‘CE’ refer to MLs
that exhibit ‘chemical’ or ‘combustion-
like’ properties with electromagnetic
attributes. These MLs are truly mys-
terious and do not fit into Mirage or
Light Curtain categories.”
“ML” stands for “mystery lights.”
The Marfa Lights Viewing Park, east of Marfa, Texas
Recent research has resulted in a new conjecture for the cause of the more
mysterious Marfa Lights, those that seem to dance and behave in other ways
that make them obviously not car headlights: bioluminescent flying predators.
Although some of the scientists who
have studied Marfa Lights have not
yet accepted the predator idea, no
other explanation has come close to
fitting the dancing behavior of the
most mysterious of the Marfa Lights.
