Initial data
Visible from afar, a mysterious light that occurs in a remote area in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan, became a famous local legend, causing the most heated debate about its origin.
Bright white Orb known as "the lights of Polding" periodically appears in the middle of a forest, on a dirt road leading to the town of Paulding. It can change its size and shape, and then disappears in the darkness.
The first report of the mysterious phenomenon reported from the local Sheriff in 1966, and then, for half a century, it has become a fixture in the community, attracting not only a wide range of visitors who dream of seeing strange lights, but also researchers of paranormal phenomena.
The official legend has it that this ghostly light originates from a lantern of the conductor, who was crushed trying to stop the train from going off on the stuck on the rails on the wagons. Locals say that the event happened over 100 years ago, when in these places there were several Railways, now extinct in the overgrown undergrowth.
Some believe that it is the light train, which is itself a Ghost. Others argue that it maddened souls and grandparents, with a flashlight looking for a lost grandson. There are still of the opinion that this glow connected with aliens. Skeptics argue that it is the light from the headlights. Moreover, the occurrence of fires became more frequent after the construction of the highway.
So a group of students of engineering faculty from the nearest University in 2010, trying to solve the mystery of this phenomenon, said that the lights arise from the headlights of the cars passing on the nearest highway. But the local community rejected the conclusions of uterga that the lights are not a modern phenomenon, and cited in proof quotes from native American legends.
Journalist John Carlisle just returned from these places. He conducted his own investigation and interviewed a lot of local residents. And then, along with enthusiasts, eager to unravel the mystery of "lights of Polding", decided to go to the place to see this phenomenon with my own eyes.
According to Carlisle and other witnesses, they saw the light that evening and after watching it they said that "none of them believed that this phenomenon is caused by the headlights".
The researchers of the paranormal claim that "the lights of Polding" have an amazing resemblance to the wandering lights on Brown mountain in North Carolina.

Hypotheses
Light sources on clouds
Lasers, searchlights, car headlights and other light sources of sufficient power can form a column of light in a dusty or foggy atmosphere, various patterns on low clouds, fog or haze. Also, the rays can highlight parts of the cloud, objects or birds, giving them bizarre shapes.
Searchlights can shine with one beam, several. They can be stationary, move, and also form spinning carousels on the clouds, which can change shape and color.
It often seems that the light source is located at the point where the beam hits the cloud, and not vice versa.
Investigation
It can be assumed that the headlights of cars.
