# Far away, on US 67 and ranch roads

Most lie 8 to 30 km or more away, on US 67 and on ranch roads south and south-west of the viewing area, raised above their true position by refraction.

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Two-station triangulation with checked bearings places lights on roads or at buildings.
- Oxygen absorption in their spectra gives distances of kilometres to tens of kilometres.

## What would rule it out

- A checked triangulation or spectroscopic distance of under a kilometre for a light in open country.
