It’s always fascinating when Erik reveals information about the World’s greatest mysteries. I hope you enjoy this one.
Me: What about Marfa Lights. What are they all about? I think they’re in Texas really close to Big Bend National Park.
Erik: What about them?
Me: I don’t know. They’re lights that show up and nobody understands what they are.
Jamie: Lights up in the sky?
(Long pause as Jamie listens)
Jamie: He’s saying that part of it is alien, but part of it is because of—
(Long pause again. He’s probably talking a mile a minute, giving Jamie a run for her money.)
Jamie: Hm. Part of it is also because of government awareness.
Me: What???
Jamie: Yeah.
Me: Awareness of…? Aliens?
Jamie: He’s saying, “yes.”
I have no idea why Jamie is paraphrasing for him instead of translating his words directly.
Me: So why would that create lights? Are they working on experiment together? What’s going on there?
Erik: It’s just why nothing’s being done about it.
Me: Okay.
(Pause)
Jamie: he—Erik’s not talking like it’s a secret or anything, but it’s almost like, um, he downplayed it, you know?
Me: Okay.
Jamie: But he didn’t have that same, you know, throwing you under the bus. He didn’t have that same gun hoe response.
Me: Like, “eh”? Something like that? Like, “Ho hum.”
Erik: Yeah, it’s real. It’s not people’s imagination.
Jamie: He knows it has to do with aliens, but he also knows that the government is aware about it, too. Nobody’s tracking it; nobody’s trying to figure it out.
I have no idea what both of them are saying.
Me: Well, where’s the light coming from? What’s the source? Is it coming out of the tops of the heads of the little green guys or what? (I chuckle at my not-so-witty comment.)
Jamie (giggling): That made him laugh, by the way!
Erik: No. No.
(Long pause)
Me: Helloooo?
I’m getting frustrated at this point.
Jamie: He doesn’t know how to explain it to me.
Me: Show her a picture then, Erik. What is its source? Is it a machine, a spacecraft?
Jamie: I’d like to call it a machine, but it doesn’t fit any standard definition of what we’d call a machine on Earth.
Me: Is it bouncing off some different material?
Erik: It is.
(Long pause)
Jamie (to Erik): No, I see your predicament.
Erik: It is a material. It does have some solid mass, but that solid mass can change kind of like the, um—it’s kind of like water. Water can freeze, it can evaporate, it can steam and then it can come back to being liquid water. So, that’s the best I know how to explain it, and it’s just the energy and light reflecting off of this change.
Me: Interesting.
Jaime: But, you know, I’ve asked him several times, ‘Is this solar? Is this just the energy around us something of that nature?’
Erik: Again, it’s not natural. It’s not a weather pattern.
Jamie: He’s pushing all that away and sticking with the aliens.
Me: What’s it for?
(Pause)
Jamie: He just can’t put it into words because of the limitations of the human language.
(Rats.)
