Linville Gorge Camping/Hiking April 2006
NiteWatch made our second camping excursion to the gorge and Brown Mtn. with a 3 day event. Randy, Craig and Daniel spent their time hiking the area during the day and trying to locate the Brown Mtn. Lights phenomenon during the night with some stargazing thrown in for good measure. One night nothing unusual was witnessed, but our second night produced five sightings of suspicious lights. Two of these were on the ridge between Table Rock and Hawks Bill mtn. and were quite bright and large. Craig is confident these were vehicle lights as our map showed roads and a parking area in the general vicinity, but Daniel wants to travel these roads to check the proximity to the sightings. We will do this in the near future. The lights were exciting nonetheless as we were tired of coming up empty handed. Unfortunately, we could not get our cameras in place to show you video/stills before they were gone. There were lights on Brown Mtn., but were dim at a distance of a few miles, but one sighting was very similar to the video on brownmountainlights.com. Was this an actual viewing of the true anomalous lights? We dont know for sure, but we certainly enjoyed seeing them. The rest of our time was spent in the gorge hiking and seeing sights like the falls and Babel Tower and climbing to the top of it. Have you seen lights similar to these? Drop us a email and let us know your experiences.
