Nocturnal Lights

The Nocturnal Lights phenomena, also known by the acronym NL, have been an unexplained feature of the Toppenish/Wapato/White Swan area of Washington for an unknown time. These lights have flown all the way from the top of the Ahtanum Ridge, across the valley floor and into the night sky at extreme accelerated rates that no known aircraft could accomplish. 

Their was an intense study of these done on the reservation by a David W. Akers, which was submitted to J. Allen Hynek of Project Bluebook; a project undertaken by the United States Air Force that now has a show named after it on the History Channel.

The study done by Akers looked at first hand accounts of these occurrences. However, no matter how many times these balls of light have been seen, we still do not have a solid idea or theory of what they are.

Some scientists postulate that the lights are phenomena related to the geology of the region. Others may see these as UFO's. Yet other theories point to these being spirits. Whatever the theory is though, none have any ground on real experiential data.
