Point Pleasant lights of 1967
Through 1967, alongside the Mothman reports, people around Point Pleasant and across the Ohio River reported moving lights in the night sky, which John Keel recorded on his visits.

The account
Keel and local reporter Mary Hyre gathered reports of lights over the hills and the TNT area, odd phone calls and visits by strange men. Keel published them in The Mothman Prophecies (1975).
The sceptical view
Most of the reports reached print through Keel, who connected unrelated events into one story. Aircraft, planets and satellites probably explain many of the lights.
