That blue light looks like a person in the foreground moving a flashlight. The light “moves off” or disappears when the flashlight is turned away from the camera. I swear I can almost see the person. Also there is a clear reflection happening that no one mentions. Looks like fraud to me.

The will-o'-the-wisp or jack-o'-lantern is found in many areas of North Carolina. I used to see them over the marches and in the swamps of southeastern North Carolina. They are caused by swamp gas (methane) in the low country, and by a form of ball lightning when hovering over the rocky peaks of mountains.

This phenomenon fits into the category of physics I wrote about in this article: http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/CC_Vacuum_Doma.... There are people who have more understanding of this and similar phenomena known to appear worldwide, but a 'mystery' is better for ratings, and NatGeo unfortunately usually puts a negative debunking spin on their 'unusual phenomena' coverage so I don't expect much insight from this program.

RvX™: "weird, I know myself that nigh-vision is green/white/black only, no reds and blues."

I think he was referring to the readout on a temperature gauge.

tammynix: "The Cherokee Indians were familiar with these lights as far back as the year 1200."

That can't be true because there wasn't any traffic back then to confuse the local yokels with their headlights - by the way, in case it isn't obvious, I'm being sarcastic about the usual explanation given by the s(c)eptics to dispose of them.

Has anyone ever tried posting a trio of s(c)eptic, believer, and uncommitted observers where traffic'd've to be if headlights were the source to see if there was any actual correlation between passing traffic and the appearing of the lights?

I attended nearby Appalachian State University in the late 90's. My college roommate and I were always intrigued by stories of the lights, and made probably 7 or 8 attempts to see them. Unfortunately, we never saw anything.

I went by the overlook this past summer. The state of North Carolina has cleared away a lot of overgrowth, making it much easier to see Brown Mountain. Once the weather warms up some, I'll probably go back.

Either way, it's a beautiful part of the country, so lights or no light, you can't lose.

Thanks for the update/reply Micah!

Joshua's article was extremely interesting. I especially enjoyed the hypothesis based on the results found in the LEMUR investigations. The "quartz and magnetite" hypothesis, seems like a very realistic explanation of what's occurring...

It's such an exciting phenomenon. I would love to be close enough to see it!
I want to mention again at what a great addition your articles are to MU!

Thank you!
