The Lubbock Lights
Description
Strange lights captivated the people of Lubbock, Texas who happened to gaze skyward on a summer night in 1951. But what those lights actually were remains an object of contention… particularly because nobody involved, including the Air Force, seems interested in talking about it.
One Strange Thing: True Paranormal Mysteries explores the archives of the unexplained, blending rigorous historical research with a wry, skeptical wit to investigate true supernatural stories and baffling mysteries that made headlines.
