Brown Mountain

After spending years hoping, to no avail, to see the mysterious lights rumored to flit about Brown Mountain in North Carolina, Appalachian State University physics professor Dr. Daniel Caton was about to call it quits for good. Then, on July 17, 2016, he spied an orb streaking over the mountain ridge. It vanished, reappeared, vanished again, and reappeared a second time.
He checked both cameras recording the phenomenon to make sure that each had filmed the orb’s strange behavior. If they hadn’t, he’d have attributed the light to a lens flare, but both cameras captured the same images. While he could rule out lens flares, he could find no explanation for the mysterious orb, and the Brown Mountain lights remain mysterious to this day.
You have to give the professor credit for being persistent, if nothing else. I can't help but wonder if the whole thing was satisfying enough for him, though.
Coffee out on the patio this morning.

Do you ever wonder how often it's just the devil playing with us to keep our minds off more important matters?
Very strange stuff.
Hey Gorge...
I do often wonder if we are not being distracted by someone or something, that's for sure.
Thanks for stopping by this morning!
Hey Linda...
That it is, for sure!
Thanks for coming over today!
Strange indeed. I don't think I would have been able to stick with it that long. When we have a meteor shower, if Ivdont see one in about a half hr,I'm out of there:))
Hey Mamahen...
I think most of us are that way, truth be told.
Thanks for the visit this morning!
I love mysteries of that type. Thanks for posting it.
I have missed so many things because I just don't want to hang around that long. But that is a strange thing and I'm glad he finally saw it happening.
I can do the patio
A great deal of patience for such a project, he's have made a good gold miner!
The Brown Mountain lights are a strange mystery. I live fairly near the area and have watched them three or more times. Several explanations for the cause but none proven. In fact I have been down in this gorge on foot during a bear hunt. Saw nothing unseemly, just forest life.
Loved reading this, thank you
