The Marfa lights, also known as the Marfa ghost lights, have been observed near U.S. Route 67 on Mitchell Flat east of Marfa, Texas, in the United States. They have gained some fame as onlookers have ascribed them to paranormal phenomena such as ghosts, UFOs, or will-o'-the-wisp, etc. However, scientific research suggests that most, if not all, are atmospheric reflections of automobile headlights and campfires.
According to Judith Brueske, "The 'Marfa Lights of west Texas have been called many names over the years, such as ghost lights, weird lights, mystery lights, or Chinati lights. The favorite place from which to view the lights is a widened shoulder on Highway 90 about nine miles east of Marfa...at this 'official Marfa Lights viewing site'. The lights are most often reported as rather distant bright lights distinguishable from ranch lights and automobile headlights on Highway 67 (between Marfa and Presidio, to the south) primarily by their aberrant movements."
Robert and Judy Wagers define "Classic Marfa Lights" as being seen south-southwest of the Marfa Lights Viewing Center (MLVC). They define the left margin of the viewing area as being aligned along the Big Bend Telephone Company tower as viewed from the MLVC, and the right margin defined by Chinati Peak as viewed from the MLVC.
Everyday things change
And the world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange
And this ol' world seems like, a new place
Oh yeah, secretly I've been trailing you
Like a fox that preys on the rabbit
I had to get you, and so I knew
I had to learn your ways and habits
Oooo you were the catch that I was after
But I looked up and I was in your arms
And I knew I had been captured
What's this ol' world coming to
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, I had laid such a tender trap
Hopin' you might fall in to it
But love hit me like a sudden slap
One kiss, then I knew it
Ooooo my plan didn't work out, like I thought
'Cause I had laid my trap for you
But it seems like I got caught
What's this ol' world coming to
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game
Oh yeah
