I'll bet ya,even if you live right down the road at the Rez. There usually is no one else up there except for kids smoking weed and then leaving when I am there. That you? lol Other than that,i have made quite a few friends from the Rez up there... The bear hunters don't even spend more time than me up there,although less so now bc paranormal research work is everywhere in these mountains....The lights at TD moved up into the sky,by the way,and don't form on the ground as much as they used to.I watched them form a pyramid above the GSMNP just last winter from TD...Plus I have seen the exact same lights from multiple places,even from Mississippi. ...So what's the bet?

    Take a closer look at the sky with the beams coming down from the sky straight down.. into those light areas.. these are definitely UFO Landings they had many of them in Vermont and I'd see them all the time and eventually you would see the mothership come and gather them all back into the ship and out into space.. sometimes we would see them in daylight the size of a car silver disc flying all around you if you're walking along an open field or roadside hiking.. one of them flew right around me one early morning this was and Wolcott Vermont near Stowe Vermont.. this huge silver Flying Saucer flew all around me as I was walking my dog.. at the same time a man on the telephone pole was closely almost hit by one of them and he fell down to the ground he was in shock couldn't believe what he had seen and what came right near him and near me.. the night before we saw at least 30 or 40 lights like this fall in a row going up into the Mothership.. so don't be surprised they've been around a long time they are checking out the soil and different things that they bring back to their planet.. they won't come near to us because we are not intellectually able to manifest all this as we are a war planet and we would only be destructive that's what they fear.. enjoy our visitors from outer space

      I agree. I watched a hunter's Sasquatch capture on his video and as it passed about 40-50 feet in front of him, it turned away from him and started to walk through some pine trees. Just before going completely out of view, there was a red, then white flash that happened right where the Sasquatch stepped and it vanished before the hunter's eyes and the camera view. They're supernatural creatures.

    These lights are as old as dirt.I've seen these in the mountains of WA and OR. They are simply demon powered and they will respond to your directions if spoken aloud or thought of. Really no mystery there. Best not to dabble in this crap. Leave them alone, do NOT chase them! They can be multi-colored, also.
