These are unexplained lights that make an appearance in one spot of the town every night. Despite all the studies that have been done, there has been no explanation as to why these lights appear. Some think it's electromatic in nature, others think it's aliens. No matter, it's still a uneasy sight to see them.</p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0wDIRX_0vlDX6we00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0wDIRX_0vlDX6we00" width="1917" height="1079" ><figcaption>Marfa Lights - The Weather Channel</figcaption></figure><h2>Jefferson, Texas</h2><p>Jefferson, Texas is well known to us in East Texas and throughout the state.
