Forget aliens and ghosts! The Marfa Lights are baffling scientists even in an age of quantum physics and deep-sea exploration. These mysterious, basketball-sized orbs of light appear out of nowhere near Marfa, Texas, and have been sighted for over a century.

First noticed by a sheep herder in 1883 who thought they were Native American campfires, these lights have since been seen by countless witnesses, including pilots in the 1940s. They range in color from orange-yellow to green, blue, and red, moving in erratic ways that distinguish them from regular car or farm lights.
