- Can you disprove it? I'm going through the material on the net, and if
- someone wants to start saying "liar! liar!" there is no way to prove or
- disprove. So if you insist on evidence to support a claim, you should be the
- first to provide it. Only fair.
-
- Me, I'll settle for the reports that indicate that the lights are not seen
- in just one spot/direction, and that the headlights from cars on that road
- can be dimly seen at the same time and are not as bright, nor do they appear
- or disappear in any pattern related to the lights. You DID read the Web Page
- didn't you? Or do you just dismiss based on your "common" knowledge?
-

-
- The first hand report of the journalist who checked out these lights is
- quite interesting. He doesn't have any crackpot theories, but was able to
- test the headlight hypothesis and a few others. BZZZZT.

-
- Can you prove they are JUST car headlights? If so, then please explain the
- odd directions. The atmospheric phenomena responsible for it would be
- fascinating....
