The other day I went up to Mission Peak with my GPS. After placing it next to the "monument" at the apex, I let it settle in for about 5 minutes and got the coordinates 37°30′46″N, 121°52′54″W. --Thalakan 07:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Little known Mystery of Mission Peak

Lights use to be always seen shinning from on top the mountain. During some certain months this msterious lights would be seen many times. During the prohibition era, authorities thought that perhaps these lights were a signal to call moonshiners; due to the extremely brightness of it, it was clearly seen all the way to San Francisco. They then pinnpointed the exact location where the lights would be seen, and the following morning they set off to search for the source. It led them to a dense grove up top the mountain, no sign of fire, disturbance, or anything. Many of these mysterious lights have also been seen in various parts of California. Some people say that these lights are due to a mysterious race of ancient peoples called Lemurians, nobody has yet to reach a conclusion for these lights.

From 1920-1942 our family, who owned Mission Peak, had an 18 foot tall cone-shaped monument on top of Mission Peak with a bright electric light on the top that my great grandfather, Albert A. Moore, would turn on from the house on the back of Mission Peak. There was also a large American flag that flew from the top of the flag pole that went up through the middle of the monument. The pipe sticking out of the ground on top of the peak was the base of the flagpole. (signed Roan A.
