Friday Video: The Hessdalen Lights Phenomenon

Another Friday, another Friday Video to show. I’m actually glad it’s Friday. Man I tell you; it’s been a long, long week.

So a few weeks ago I was up at night and couldn’t really fall asleep. I started to browse the web in an effort to find a documentary or something that would put me to sleep. As I was browsing around YouTube, I came across quite possible the most frightening, unexplainable and eerie video I have ever seen. No joke. I must have turned off the laptop, looked over my shoulder and threw the covers over me as I shivered. How can someone create such video and still manag….why write it. I’ll just show you:

Now don’t ask what I was searching for when I came across this video, but this is what a bad acid trip must be like. Eeeesh! I still get the shivers.

Anyways…let’s clear our minds out of that. Tabula Rasa style.

The Hessdalen lights.

Since the 1940s, strange lights have been witnessed and filmed over the valley of Hessdalen, Norway. The phenomena increased during the winter of 1981, to the summer of 1984. Showing up to 20 times a week during this time. Since then, the lights have dwindled down to only a handful of times a year, but still remain active.

Much like the Marfa Lights and the Brown Mountain lights in the United States, there exists possible scientific explanations about the origins of these lights. From car headlights reflecting off what-have-you, to combustion happening in the clouds due to the vast amounts of scandium. A chemical element that is bountiful in the region.

Regardless, this is a mystery that has remained unanswered for decades.

Hessdalen is a small valley in the central part of Norway. At the end of 1981 through 1984, residents of the Valley became concerned and alarmed about strange, unexplained lights that appeared at many locations throughout the Valley. Hundreds of lights were observed. At the peak of activity there were about 20 reports a week.

Project Hessdalen was established in the summer of 1983 to study Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) and Unidentified Flying Object(UFO) sightings. A field investigation was carried out between 21 January and 26 February 1984.

Fifty-three light observations were made during the field investigation. Assistant professor Erling Strand, the founder of the Hessdalen project, conducted together with the author the first international congress of the Hessdalen phenomena in 1994. This congress attracted scientists from all over the world and boosted the scientific research in Hessdalen.

Statements from the congress indicated that explanation of the phenomena could lead to new concepts in physics. This congress also started the collaboration between stfold University College in Norway and CNR in Italy. Together with Dr. Stelio Montebugnoli the author started the EMBLA project, with the purpose of studying the electromagnetic radiation and behavior of the Hessdalen phenomena in 1999.

Lights are still being observed in the Hessdalen Valley, but their frequency has decreased to about 20 observations a year.The following is the conclusions from over 25 years of research and after Italian SETI scientists got involved with much more highly sophisticated equipment.
