There's a River Bank in Thailand, in the remote part of the jungle. You're in a canoe slipping down the river. There's no sound of anything, maybe the occasional exotic jungle bird or something. And you're looking and you just see with thousands of lights on and then off, all in sync. And no Westerner had ever seen this site. There was folklore, there was the stories about it. But nobody gone in and photographed and captured samples. Well, not until 1965. This was done by John Buck, one of the great researchers of the records.
