Paranormal researcher Ben Radford says that there are many cases of similar light reports across the U.S., but there are many possible sources for the lights so that there is no unifying theory as to what they can be. Some are unexplained, but others can be "headlights, campfires, aircraft, cloud reflections of distant city or vehicle lights, insects and so on... at the end of the day ..." Radford says, "it's more fun to imagine the distant glimmer is a ghostly railroad brakeman's phantom lantern than the headlights of a 2005 Honda Civic".
