Q. Where is Marfa and what exactly is it famous for?

A. Marfa is a small town in west Texas in the United States. It’s famous for the “Marfa mystery lights”

Q. What are the mystery lights exactly?

A. No one knows for sure. There are many different ideas about that. Q. Can you describe them?

A. That’s a difficult question. Different people see different lights. They are not always the same. I can say that they appear after sunset in the sky. They dance mysteriously in air and vanish. Then they suddenly reappear. Q. Some people say they are car headlights. Do you think so?

A. No. I don’t. A man first saw the mystery lights over 100 years ago. The man was Robert Ellison and the year was 1883. Of course we didn’t have cars in 1883.

Q. What do you think causes the lights?

A. There are many theories. The Native Americans thought the lights were stars falling to Earth. Some people think uranium gas causes the lights. Other people suggest that ball lightning does it. Ball lightning is lightning in the shape of circle. It often appears just after a rainstorm. Q What are some of the weirdest ideas about the lights?

A. Well, some people call them “ghost lights”. They think ghosts do it. That’s the strangest idea. Some say they are UFOs. I don’t think so. Q. What do the experts say?

A. They can’t figure it out. Some engineers even came from Japan one time. They studied the lights, but couldn’t solve the mystery. Q. Are the local people scared?

A. No, actually, they aren’t. They like the lights. And every year in early September there is a big town festival to celebrate the mystery lights. Keys
