A programme on Thai television in 2002 attempted to demonstrate that they were produced by tracer fire from soldiers on the Lao side of the river. This provoked furious protests and demonstrations from local villagers, who believe that the balls are produced by a snake, the Naga or Phaya Naga, living in the river. The phenomenon has gained much prominence since the furor over the TV programme, as well as the 2002 film by director Jira Maligool, Mekhong Full Moon Party. Previously known as the ghost fireballs, the event has now had its name changed and is being promoted as a festival to attract tourists.
