Look!

There's a town down there.

Almost there.

Let's keep moving.

Come on. Keep up!

Are we lost?

We just keep moving down the hill

and we're gonna reach a road.

A road that... leads to the town that we saw.

- You alright?

- Yeah.

- We're almost there.

- We just have to keep moving.

- OK.

Look! Riley, the road!

We made it!

Ri, come on! Come on!

Thank God!

Thank God!

You kids alright?

We need help.

OK, Jillian. We're-we're safe, now.

We're OK. We're gonna be OK, Jillian.

We're gonna be OK.

128 communications. 128 communications.

Go on, 128.

I've got two lost juveniles,

requesting EMT backup.

We're 500 yards north of Brown Mountain tunnel.

10-4, 128. EMT backup enroute...

Call for...

For the past 20 years, I

have been enthusiastically

researching the mystery of

the Brown Mountain lights.

No one knows what they are!

There are all kinds of theories

of the origin of the lights

from swamp gas to various theories of...

radon gas glowing.

There are people that suggested marsh gases.

There's no marsh in the area where they were.

It was just so very clear,

and just so very apparent.

I mean, it wasn't like: "Can you see that?

Can you see that?"

I mean, everybody there could

see clearly what it was.

The people have,

and I don't know whether it's

imagination or not, said:

The lights seem to be elusive.

And what we realized is that when a

legitimate Brown Mountain light appeared

there was electromagnetic interference.

And this is not something that's

caused by flashlights, or dirt bikes,

or four wheelers, or-or lanterns, or... whatever.

Well, globs of glowing gas appear

randomly in different locations,

last for... seconds, to tens of seconds,

and then dissipate.

These have been reported for centuries.

By using equipment that can pickup

that level of interference,

we were able to start documenting

where the serious lights were coming from.

Now, the question becomes: Are these

lights producing the interference?

Well, we think that they probably are.

But, that also could be because something bigger

is happening in the environment, at that time.

There may be some type of an alien element there

because when people see UFOs they talk

about electromagnetic interference.

And what we saw was basically

a perfectly round orb,

sphere, whatever... and it was, just,

you know, a light, it was flat.

And it was white and it come up,

kinda, from down low, from down in the valley.

And it kinda came up and then

floated above the ridge.

And then there were two more, but I

can't remember where they came from.

But, they kinda, all three followed

the ridge and then went to the top.

And then they kinda danced around to...

Just kinda danced around.

The lights seem to move about

in a ghost-like manner..

Danced around. We watched them a long time.

When you start digging into Brown Mountain,

and you find that, OK, some of these

may just be a natural phenomena,

but that doesn't explain the people who

claim they've been abducted there.

And just when I got into the

doorway to my bed-bedroom,

I had the sensation of being, literally,

sucked up against the ceiling. I mean,

it wasn't a sensation, I was physically

sucked up against the ceiling.

and it was the most horrifying thing

I've ever felt in my entire life.

And it was... real.

It doesn't explain some of the creature

sightings that have taken place there.

It doesn't explain many of

the conspiracies related

to military activity and government involvment.

Someone would come in and they were

gonna find out what they were.

And, uh...

I guess, to justify their

salaries, they had to come up

with some kind of, uh, theory that would, at

least, partially, justify what they'd done.

The military activity,

the root of many of the elaborate

conspiracies of Brown Mountain,

usually have an alien element.

It's a probability that there is UFOs.

There's a possibility that I

wouldn't-wouldn't rule out

much of anything in this day and time.

We know that the US government

has publicly investigated

the Brown Mountain lights, at least

three times throughout history.

And I think science has an obligation,

in the spirit of Carl Sagan,

to explain and to investigate

claims of the paranormal.

So we know that the government, for a long time,

has been aware of the Brown Mountain lights.

And it manifests in the way that

we see it, in the shape of orbs.

But there's something there!

Brown Mountain is on National

Forest land and if you go to

some of the overlooks today

you will see that there are

markers that were put in place

by the federal government.

Brown Mountain lights, to me, may

represent one of the, uh, one of the last

really interesting frontiers of natural phenomena

that we don't understand.

The Brown Mountain lights are

an absolutely real phenomenon.

God only knows what the

Brown Mountain lights are.
