Most close cases make it clear that the lighting on UFOs has nothing to do with "light bulbs" as we know them, but that it typically represents areas or jets of luminosity. This is also typically substantiated by the best verified UFO photographs. Not all of the UFO light output is in the visible spectrum, as is shown by the Beaver Falls photos and the numerous cases of apparent UV burns. > Then again, why not turn the lights off altogether? It seems likely that while the objects demonstrate some ability to turn off the source of the luminosity, that there is a correlation between the structure and behavior of the luminosity and the behavior of the object. This indicates that the luminosity is a not completely avoidable side effect of some internal processes. ------ Mark Cashman, creator of The Temporal Doorway at http://www.geocities.com/~mcashman - Original digital art, writing, and UFO research - Author of SF novels available at... http://www.infohaus.com/access/by-seller/The_Temporal_Doorway_Storefront ------
