Why This Case Matters

The case is culturally important as an experiencer/network node, but the currently indexed 'lights' footage itself is weak evidence and should not inherit credibility from notable people who have met or discussed the family.

Chronology

  • ongoing family videos/posts of lights
  • later books, interviews and public gatherings expand network
  • individual clips periodically analysed online
