Mystery 'city' caught on stunning time-lapse video from space revealed to be massive Midwest oil field
Lit-up: In the time-lapse video from the International Space Station, major cities in the Midwest can be identified by their bright lights
Mystery 'city': To the west of Bismarck, North Dakota, is a massive patch of light which has been identified as the Bakken Oil Field, which reportedly stretches 200,000 square miles
Flame: The huge amount of light given off in the area may be due to natural gas flares, flaming discharges used at oil fields to keep equipment from being overpressured
