Re: Lights of Marfa Texas
I miissed this earlier, but came across it now while I was looking for something else.
I've read about the Marfa lights, of course, since I really try to keep up on pseudoscience. Still, the explanation given here by Stereologist is a wonderful one. Perspectives get really strange in the absence of points of reference. Here, next to the foothills, there seem to be lights in the sky all the time. From a distance, they move erratically. When you get closer, they stop moving. When you get really close, they are houses 1000 to 2000 feet above the level at which you are watching them, and the movement has been your own.
I wanted to bump this up into people's consciousness for a little while.
