Ghost Lights or Alien Tech? Signals from Beyond the Grave or Beyond the Solar System?

this episode of the y-files is brought. to you by Factor. here's the scene you're driving down a. secluded Road the only lights come from. your headlights the only sounds you hear. are crickets and the hum of the engine. suddenly a mysterious orb of light. appears in the distance floating a few. feet above the ground you get the sense. that the light is aware of your presence. it darts around beckoning you closer it. can't be another car there is nothing. around for Miles now as you get closer. to the light it vanishes finally you.

arrive at a small town and stop at a. diner for a bite you mention your. experience to the waitress she smiles. and says you saw a ghost light she tells. you the story of someone killed on that. dark Road many years ago the light has. been seen ever since ghost lights or. spook lights are seen all over the world. in some places they're thought to be the. spirits of the Dead other places say. their portals to another dimension and. others say their signals from another. world whatever they are ghost lights are.

real and they've stumped scientists. Skeptics even governments for a long. time they're seen by thousands of people. every year there are even cases where. people have followed a ghost light into. the darkness never to be seen again. foreign. this isn't fistable at all. I need you to send over the recipe for.

the dish you made last week I mean the. whole shebang shopping lists. measurements cooking times all of it. stat now yesterday coach sweet whoa slow. down what's going on well I'm a. contestant on countdown kitchen the. winner gets their own cooking show I. thought I had this thing in a bag but. the judges just disqualified my recipe. for crab cat cakes apparently crabs are. fine but they were very suspicious about. cats I can't imagine why if I lose this. contest then I grew this bike blood here.

goatee and double chin for nothing yeah. well maybe you should probably only have. 15 minutes to give him a new recipe. I don't even know what recipe you're. talking about that creamy chicken cheesy. tasty chicken cheesy made two days ago. it was it was it was divine okay okay. okay calm down that wasn't my recipe. that was factor. is that today's sponsor. yes it is factor is a subscription meal.

service that delivers pre-prepared meals. to your door they're fresh never Frozen. and ready to heat and eat in minutes. yeah but that meal was delicious it. didn't taste like microwave food well. that's because Factor has registered. dietitians working with Gourmet chefs to. do all the planning cooking and prep for. you yeah but what about variety that is. the uh despite life. they upload new menus every week with. over 27 meals and 33 add-on options they.

have plans that range from 4 to 18 meals. a week and you can add or reduce at any. time well I use them here at the studio. they have meat plant-based meals seafood. seafood sorry and factor is now owned by. hellofresh so I just switched between. the two Brands both convenient and easy. let me do some math here 18 meals at. times 16 weeks I carried 11 in there. carry the 11. that'll do it do what get. me through the funnels on countdown. kitchen. wait did you just say you're gonna be.

gone 16 weeks. okay. head to factor75.com or click the link. below and use code the Y files 50 to get. 50 off your first Factor box back to. 75.com would code the wide files 50 and. I get 50 off my first box that's right. okay I'm definitely gonna get my own. cooking show now I just need a. catchphrase catchphrase it's like a. slogan I know what it is oh out how. about let's go to flavor Town that's.

taken you should probably just focus on. oh how about this fish is funky that. might not be exactly. where I gotta go. on December 4th 1931 a trail of blood. almost a quarter of a mile long was. found in the small town of gurden. Arkansas it led to the body of will. McLean. a railroad spike hammer and a shovel.

covered in blood were found near his. body it was clear that the cause of. death was four severe blows to the head. but there was one detail of the murder. that would haunt the town forever. McLean's Lantern was still clutched. tightly in his hand. shortly after will McLean's death people. started reporting seeing a strange light. the light was appearing along a Four. Mile Stretch of railroad track near the. town it was described as yellowish white. and moved like someone searching the. tracks with Lantern and researchers have.

been trying for years to explain the. garden light obviously aliens. the popular theory is that people are. seeing headlights from interstate 30. now this makes sense at first I-30 is. only a couple of miles away from the. train tracks close enough to trick the. Mind into thinking those headlights are. floating orbs but there is a problem. with this explanation people started. reporting the light in 1931 Interstate. 30 wasn't built until the late 1960s the. light starts coming on and going off. coming on and going off.

and it went off when it got about 10. feet from us. the next time we saw the light it was. behind us another theory is that the. light is swamp gas gurden Railway is. surrounded by dense woods and swamps. oh. swamp gas happens in marshlands and bogs. when gases from decomposing organic. matter combust. ERS like mother nature lighting her foot. that's tacky but accurate.

but the gurney light has been seen in. all kinds of weather including on windy. nights and wind prevents swamp gas from. igniting it floats about that half off. the ground follow. it's a light white ball of light about. like that though many people have seen. and photographed the garden light it's. hard to find you have to walk on. railroad tracks in the dark a few miles. from the nearest road or town now even. if you take that dangerous walk there's. only a small chance that you'll see the.

light. but there's a town that has so many. ghost light sightings that they actually. built a large observation deck the. lights there have been featured on. countless TV shows they've been in. movies they've inspired songs if you. want to see some of the most spectacular. ghost lights in the world you have to go. to West Texas. [Music]. in 1883 Robert Reed Ellison was working. on a ranch just outside the newly.

founded town of Marfa Texas one night he. saw a distant light that he thought. could be from an Apache campfire or from. another Rancher but there was something. about the light that was strange he. tossed and turned all night unable to. shake the odd feeling that the light. whatever it was was aware of him the. next morning Reed went out to explore. the area and found no sign of people. soon after Ellison learned an Apache. legend about the land many years ago a. great battle took place between two. warring tribes the conflict was brutal.

and the death toll was in the thousands. the legend says that the Marvel lights. we see today are the spirits of restless. Warriors still wandering the desert. trying to find a way back home. the lights are described as glowing. basketball-sized spheres they hover. about shoulder height off the ground and. have been known to shoot around rapidly. in any direction they appear in pairs or. in groups but sometimes single lights. divide into pairs they've been seen. merging disappearing and then.

reappearing and sometimes they seem to. move in regular patterns like there's an. intelligence at work if you're a mystery. and I want them to remain a Ministry. many towns known for Paranormal Activity. don't advertise it but like Point. Pleasant West Virginia has embraced the. Mothman Marva has embraced the Marfa. lights. in 2003 the town built a marfolights. viewing Center there's even a Marvel. Lights Festival held each September on. Labor Day weekend there's a street. parade food and live music but not all.

ghost light experiences are so positive. in fact some are downright terrifying. [Music]. [Music]. surency is a small town in Georgia. located about 90 miles Southwest of. Savannah and that's where you'll find. the CERN sea lights which are bright. yellow or white orbs of light unlike the. garden lights these also appear near. train tracks again we with the train. tracks.

well seeing lights near train tracks is. pretty common and there are a couple of. theories for this one is that the lights. are ghosts of dead workers in the 19th. century working on a railroad required. fearlessness and a little bit of. recklessness Railway workers had long. shifts and the work was physically. demanding and dangerous in the early. days of the railroad one out of 35. workers were injured every year and in. many cases the injuries resulted in. missing Limbs and almost one out of. every 100 workers died on the job maybe.

the light scene around the tracks are. spirits haunting their place of death. another theory for lights around train. tracks is that the tracks are liminal. spaces. a liminal space is a threshold Between. Two Worlds existing in neither world and. both at the same time hello. hello. it's a place of transition of waiting. and not knowing what's just beyond that. door or right around that corner or just.

a little further down the tracks and. some believe that liminal spaces can act. as portals to other dimensions including. the spirit world the CERN sea lines are. often considered to be spirits of the. dead because the town's dark history. the town of surency gets its name from. its founder Alan Powell surrency in 1852. he built a two-story home for his family. on land next to the train tracks for the.

first 20 years things were pretty normal. but then things went from normal to not. normal. one evening cerency's daughter. Clementine was waiting by the train. tracks for her father to come home and. as the sun set she noticed a dark figure. approaching with an uneasy feeling she. headed back home as she reached her. house she felt a stone land near her. when she turned to look where the object. was thrown from the dark figure was gone. she quickly went inside where several of.

her father's friends were gathered it. wasn't long before everyone heard what. Clementine experienced outside heavy. items were falling all over the property. when Clementine walked into the kitchen. small pieces of brick rained down. everywhere when her father's friends. came into the kitchen to see what was. happening they saw pots and pans jumping. around and knives sliding around the. floor Alan sorensy finally got home and. saw the damage at first he thought. there'd been an earthquake but nobody. felt a Tremor and none of his neighbors.

were affected then things escalated soon. the entire family witnessed furniture. and objects moving on their own pictures. fell from walls plates cups books and. Bottles shot from their shelves with. violent Force Allen wrote down what he. witnessed and sent a telegraph to the. Savannah Morning News who published it a. week later. a few minutes of my arrival at home I. saw the glass tumblers begin to slide. off the slab and the Crockery to fall. upon the floor and break the books began.

to Tumble from their shelves to the. floor while brick bats billets of wood. smoothing irons biscuits potatoes tiny. pans water buckets pitchers Etc began to. fall in different parts of my house. nearly all of my Crockery and glasses. have been broken there have been many. other strange occurrences about my house. these facts can be established by 75 or. a hundred Witnesses. the paper sent out an experienced. reporter to verify the story the. reporter couldn't believe it.

clocks in the home were going haywire. they were spinning rapidly forward and. backward in time a mirror exploded into. a rain of glass and strange noises were. heard all over the house like footsteps. and banging at night you can hear. disembodied voices laughter and. sometimes screaming from empty rooms. Allen was a leader of the community and. tried to take this all in stride but. then the house started targeting his. daughter some unseen force would yank. her covers off of her at night and pull.

her hair and sometimes throw her across. the room at that point Alan called it. quits and the family moved out. five years later Alan psurancey passed. away and The Haunting stopped shortly. after Allen's death orbs of light were. seen hovering over the train tracks near. his home all certainty residents know. the story of the Cerny house haunting. and the CERN sea lights and while the. story is spooky they'll tell you that. the lights are harmless. but that isn't always the case some.

ghost lights are very very dangerous. worldwide millions of people go missing. every year some get lost and can't find. their way back home others run away and. don't want to be found but there are. plenty of missing persons cases that. can't be explained in Australia almost. 40 000 people are reported missing every. year that's one person every 18 minutes. that just vanishes and more than a few.

of these disappearances have been blamed. on the minmin lights. got it. the min-min lights get their name from. the now abandoned settlement of minmin. which is about 70 miles from bulya and. boulia is in a remote western region of. Queensland about a thousand miles. Northwest of Brisbane stories about the. lights predate the European colonization. of Australia and some Aboriginal people. believe the minmin lights are the. spirits of their elders. and before the town was destroyed by a.

fire it was known for being a watering. hole among the buildings burned to the. ground was the minmin hotel which had a. graveyard at back now a hotel with a. graveyard at back might seem surprising. but Midland wasn't your average hotel in. 1947 a daily newspaper described it. in the old rough days the hotel at. minmin was famed for its wildiness and. its gut-rotting drinks many Ashira with. a big check drank himself to death at.

the infamous hotel or was killed in a. drunken brawl or was murdered for his. money the corpses were tossed into the. backyard. it sounds like every Hotel in Portland. these days. the first popular report of amendment. light sighting was in 1918 and The Story. Goes Like This. around midnight a farmer shows up at the. Boolean police station in hysterics he's. going on about being chased by a strange. light as he was riding past the midman. hotel's abandoned Cemetery he saw an orb.

of light appear right above a grave the. light hovered for a few seconds the. farmer had the Eerie feeling that the. light was aware of him then suddenly the. light shot right at the farmer he. panicked jumped on his horse and started. riding as fast as he could. foreign. shoulder the light was following him no. matter how fast he rode the light kept. up it finally disappeared when he got. into town since that night there have.

been countless sightings of the minmin. lights and there's one thing that almost. everyone says after being confronted. with the min-min light the puzzling. thing is that so many people say that it. seems to have a mind of its own. it follows them or it goes away from. them. now if this is so it could be a psychic. phenomenon. all I know is that there is something. there which needs to be explained the. light seems to have intelligence and.

it's not friendly. I couldn't say for one minute what it is. but it's got to be nothing alive because. I've. said to me you you on a driver say that. he can ride up and see it here then. within a few seconds it's behind him. somewhere else sometimes the light will. chase Witnesses other times it tries to. get people to follow it it was. terrifying because the light to see it. coming towards you it used to come up.

came up it came up close and if you if. you went towards it well it just dance. away from there according to the legend. anyone who follows the lights disappears. and is never seen again newspaper. columnist Bilbo Yang found this out. firsthand. one night bill was camping in the. outback with some friends when a strange. light appeared. we were all sitting looking into the. darkness well away from the dying. campfire and enjoying the cool air after. the heat of the day when suddenly I saw.

a light at first I thought it was. someone waving a lantern but it suddenly. Rose higher in the air danced a few Jigs. and hovered about first high and then. low but always keeping at about 50 yards. distant. it was clear that whatever was. controlling the light was not a person. it looked like a huge ball of glowing. Embers bill was intrigued and urged his. group to go after it but the men in the. group knew the story about the minmin. lights and they knew that no matter what.

if you see one you don't follow it Bill. wasn't impressed he got up and went off. to find who or what was behind this. mysterious light. Bill walked slowly through the darkness. brush and twigs snapping beneath his. feet the light hovered in place and Bill. could swear it was waiting for him. finally bill was far away from camp and. the light was only a few yards ahead of. him then suddenly the light bounced in. the air emitted a Flash and shot down. into the ground Bill took another step.

when he heard panicked voices yelling at. him from Camp he turned around and he. could see his friends by firelight. waving their arms and shouting for him. to stop moving Bill Frozen place. the light then floated up still a few. yards ahead it hovered about shoulder. height waited for a second or two and. then shot back down through the ground. but then Bill noticed something the. light wasn't shooting through the ground. it was diving into a deep Chasm that. went down hundreds of feet.

Bill looked down and saw he was one. Maybe Two Steps From The Cliff if he. kept following the light it would have. fallen to his death the light then. traveled back to him a couple of times. and Bill felt like it wanted him to. follow when bill turned and headed back. to Camp the light disappeared James. Burch from the nearby town of Kimberly. had a midman light sighting while. driving home from a hunting trip. it was with a few friends when the light. appeared in the distance they were all. Struck By the Light and like many other.

Witnesses said they felt like it was. aware of them suddenly they weren't. driving toward Town anymore they were. now following the strange light through. the bush in the complete opposite. direction nobody remembered turning. around but there they were following. this light into the darkness mesmerized. they stopped the car gathered themselves. and the light disappeared ooh missing. time and it doesn't sound like ghosts no. it doesn't and like the Apache in Texas. the local tribes claimed the minimum.

lights are wandering spirits but there. are some people who believe they're from. some place farther away well how much. farther away can you get in heaven well. wait. [Music]. ghostlights or spook lights are seen all. over the world some places have become. famous for them Marfa Texas gurgen. Arkansas Cerny Georgia they're also the. Brown Mountain Lights in North Carolina. and the Joplin spook light on the border.

of Missouri in Oklahoma it's a long list. but can these be explained by science. well sometimes ghost lights are usually. attributed to one of a few natural. phenomena one is swamp gas which is. Mother Nature lighting her farts that's. enough. decaying organic matter is flammable and. under certain conditions it can ignite. now it's possible that some ghost lights. are swamp gas but in places where lights. appear during different weather. conditions it's not swamp gas another.

explanation is piezoelectric effect and. when quartz crystals are placed under. stress like from tectonic activity they. can produce an enormous amount of. electricity gurden Georgia sits on top. of a large quartz deposit and is on a. fault line plus an earthquake was felt. about the same time will McLean was. murdered on the train tracks. but this doesn't explain why the light. appears as a ball and hovers or why it. appears frequently even when there's no. seismic activity. another explanation for ghost lights is.

when certain atmospheric conditions. create optical illusions. there's a phenomenon called a superior. Mirage which occurs when the air near. the ground is colder than the air above. it this bends light rays so that objects. look like they're floating above the. surface a superior Mirage is pretty rare. but the best place to see one is where. you can view a long distance unobscured. like over large bodies of water or over. a large swath of flat terrain terrain. for example that you can find in Marfa.

Texas. it had long been suspected that the. Marvel Alliance are actually car. headlights coming from Highway 67 and. Highway 90 in the area well in 2004 a. group of physics students went to Marfa. to try to solve this over a three-day. period they found that the number of. Marfa lights directly correlated to the. amount of traffic on Highway 67. to. further prove their point they sent the. car out to the highway and had it flash. its lights they were able to generate a. marvelite every single time.

well that's true Robert Reed Ellison. said he spotted the lights in 1883 right. right except he didn't oh there was no. record of him ever saying it he even. published Memoirs of his life in 1937. and it didn't come up the story comes. from his daughter Julia and they thought. they were probably a campfire Indians or. other Travelers but they just kept.

seeing them the next night they were. there and the next night and the next. week and year and I'm sure they began to. wonder what on Earth were those lights. now to be fair the lights do merge and. spread apart and disappear and reappear. this could still be light bending in. different ways but it would be unusual. for a superior Mirage to behave this way. now most Marfa lights are definitely. headlights but locals swear that you can. still see the lights when looking in the. direction away from the highways and you.

don't argue with Texans. the currency light is a tricky one in. 1985 scientists did discover a pocket of. liquid nine miles below the surface in. the area now this doesn't directly. explain the light but it is something. strange. the truth is most of the ghost lights. around the world can be explained but. not all of them the lights in the. histalen valley are the strangest of all. Daniel gross outlines the technology and. methods that could be used to create the.

exact phenomenon we see in Hess Stalin. that there is an Alien Probe high in the. Earth's orbit sending laser pulses into. the atmosphere his theory could explain. all the lights we're seeing around the. world now the paper is highly technical. but its hypothesis is the only. explanation that answers every question. and solves every puzzle associated with. ghost lights ten years ago a theory. about an Alien Probe firing burst of. energy into our atmosphere seemed. improbable but not impossible when you.

eliminate the impossible then whatever. remains however improbable must be the. truth. right with whistleblowers coming forward. and Congress demanding answers Dr Gross. and his improbable Galactic neighborhood. Theory could be the answer and it may. turn out that the truth is out there. after all. thank you so much for hanging out with. me today my name is AJ that cycle fish.
