Subject: [mysterylights] Texas Ghost Lights Conference
Howdy from Austin, Texas.
I'm SMiles Lewis, founder of the Anomaly Archives lending library in Austin.
We're hosting
the Texas Ghost Lights Conference this June and I think your group might be
interested in
the four researchers who will be presenting their data. See details below...

The Texas Ghost Lights Conference
Saturday, June 11th, 2005 - Austin Texas
The Marfa Lights in West Texas and the Bragg Light of the Big Thicket have
inspired
countless legends of restless spirits. But there is a growing body of
evidence that, far from
being mere curiosities, or the stuff of folklore, the Texas mystery lights
constitute a
genuine scientific anomaly.
Whether they are called fireballs, ghost lights, spook lights, earth lights,
or mystery lights,
these unexplained spooky luminosities are surprisingly numerous. Lights of
unknown
origin are known to recur in specific locations in North Carolina, Missouri,
California,
Washington, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Ghost light locations in the British
Isles, Norway,
Japan, and Australia have also been extensively documented.
Investigators regard the lights as a little understood aspect of the earth's
electromagnetic
energy field. But they could be a global phenomenon of paradigm-shifting
significance.
They sometimes behave peculiarly, as if they are interacting with human
observers like
curious animals. This may be why the ancient Celtic peoples regarded the
lights as fairies,
and why the shamans of some cultures sought out the locations of the lights
as entrances
to the spirit world. Recurring ghost lights could hold clues to a dimension
of Nature that is
rarely even suspected in the modern age.
Texas is likely to play a key role in emerging earth mysteries research.
According to
Japanese physicist Dr. Yoshi-Hiko Ohtsuki, there are more sightings of
mystery lights in
Texas than anywhere else in the world.
On June 11, Natural Awakenings - Austin, with the association of Anomaly
Archives, will
present "The Texas Ghost Lights Conference" from 2:00 - 8:00 pm at the First
Unitarian
Universalist Church at 4700 Grover in Austin. You will learn the latest
about this curious
phenomenon from four leading authorities on ghost lights, complete with
photographs
and video displays.
Renowned British author, lecturer, and broadcaster, Paul Devereux, is an
experienced
researcher dealing mainly with consciousness studies and ancient sacred
sites. He is the
author of Earth Lights Revelation, Fairy Paths & Spirit Roads, Re-Visioning
the Earth, and
numerous other scholarly articles and books. He will explain why the lights
have much to
teach our physicists and remarkable lessons to teach all of us.
Nick Redfern is the author of the books A Covert Agenda:The FBI Files;
Cosmic Crashes;
Strange Secrets; Three Men Seeking Monsters; and the forthcoming Body
Snatchers In The
Desert. He is the Editor of the newsstand magazine, Phenomena. Nick has
uncovered
intriguing official British Government files on unidentified luminous
phenomena and ghost
lights that date back nearly a century, and will be discussing this
never-before-seen data
at the conference.
James Bunnell is the author of two books on the Marfa Lights, Seeing Marfa
Lights and
Night Orbs. He is an aeronautical and mechanical engineer and retired in
2000 from BAE
Systems as Director of Mission Solutions for U.S. Air Force Programs. He
will present a
fascinating video slide show of photographs taken from two monitoring
stations he set up
that illustrate his contention that the Marfa Lights constitute a
deep-rich-fascinating
mystery that never ceases to amaze those who take time to investigate.
Rob Riggs is the Editor of Natural Awakenings - Austin, the author of In the
Big Thicket:
Exploring Nature's Mysterious Dimension, and contributed chapters on
unexplained
phenomena, ancient mysteries and the Texas Ghost Lights in Weird Texas, to
be published
later this year by Barnes & Noble. He has appeared on Art Bell's Coast to
Coast and
numerous radio shows discussing the ghost lights and other mysteries of the
Big Thicket.
S. Miles Lewis of the Anomaly Archives (lending library of the Scientific
Anomaly Institute)
will be the moderator of the event, which will include a panel discussion
and question and
answer session.
