7 so we may not see / might not see any lights
8 must be coming (it is in the process of coming right now)

We use “must” if there aren’t other really reasonable explanations for what’s happening.
It must be fall. = I think it’s fall I would be surprised for any other season.
It must not be fall. = I think it’s another season. I would be surprised to find that it’s fall.
It can’t be fall. = I think it’s impossible that it’s fall. If you tell me it’s fall I won’t believe you.
