Oviedo Lights

Drivers on Snow Hill Road near Oviedo, Florida, report a blue-white light that approaches from the south toward the Econlockhatchee River bridge, mostly on winter nights.

1963 CE · 28.57, -81.12 · status: claim

The account

Local historian Jason Byrne dates the earliest reports to the 1960s, and found only one documented death on the road, that of a 17-year-old student in July 1963.

The sceptical view

Marsh gas over the wetlands and headlights are the usual explanations.
