Scientist on the Ghost lights of Aleya
Scientists have also accepted the existence of Aleya lights. According to scientists, Claim the cause of Aleya light is due to the oxidation of gases like methane, phosphene and diphosphane which are naturally present in the swamps of Sundarban.
These gases in the marshes ionize and give the flickering nightmarish colour that people called Ghost lights. During Ionization process, the electron goes from different electronic states and during the transition it loses the energy in the form of a photon which emits flickering lights that people believe are Ghost lights.
But later this theory rejected because although it explained the flickering behaviour of light, it cannot able to explain how the Aleya lights are able to move in the marshes and bog lands sundarban.
Then a few years later, scientists come up with a new theory explaining the cause of Aleya light is the cause of silicon and arsenic found naturally in the rocks of sundarban. But this theory also did not seems to explain things completely.
Regardless of All these things, Aleya ghost lights in West Bengal stays to be probably the most strange and peculiar places not in the west Bengal but the Whole World.
