They pulsate. They dance. They flicker. Sometimes they flash colors. Sometimes they display the bright intensity of a strobe. Always, they fascinate. Thousands have seen them. Thousands have speculated about them. Thousands will continue to enjoy their serendipity. At times they appear colored as they twinkle in the distance. They move about, split apart, melt together, disappear, and reappear. They are the Marfa Lights also known as “THE MARFA MYSTERY LIGHTS”
The Marfa Lights have entranced area settlers and visitors for more than a century and have eluded precise scientific examination and explanation for at least half that long. Some viewers claim to have seem them up close, describing them as one or two (occasionally more) red or yellow or bluish lights about the size of basketballs, or one colored basketball-sized light, or as a single, startlingly bright light. But most people view them from afar. The Marfa lights are visible every clear night between Marfa and Paisano Pass in northeastern Presidio County as one faces the Chinati Mountains.
We hope you can come join us here at the Riata Inn motel, the CLOSEST MOTEL TO THE OFFICIAL MARFA LIGHTS VIEWING AREA.
