**Still possible** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** One piece of evidence for, two against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The lights appear only where reflective soil lies between the road and the viewers.
- Seen from the air, the lights sit on the soil, not on the road.

## What would rule it out

- A direct line of sight from the viewing area to vehicles on US 67, shown by a vehicle on the road signalling to observers.
