These photos were taken at John Rhodes's father's ranch in 1996. His father had passed away just days before of a heart attack.

As you can see, the vortex light form has a defined structure. Spiraling light is emanating from a more solid (grounding?) base in an upward direction.

Mr. Rhodes has received photos from other people that show similar serpentine vortex lights forms. This image of a baby shows four individual vortex light forms. In two instances they can be seen crossing flight paths.
