# Strange Lights in West Texas (review)

Kirkus Reviews, 2015. _Kirkus Indie_.

An unsigned Kirkus Indie review posted on 30 November 2015. It reports Bunnell's conclusion that the lights show electric-plasma and heated-chemical (burning) qualities and resist wind currents, calls his explanation speculative but rational and geological, and finds the book patchy and repetitive of his earlier work.
