There is no ufologist who does not know about the phenomenon of the Hessdalen Valley, located in central Norway. Every person who believes that we are not alone in the Universe should visit this place. In Norway, your timid hope will turn into a firm conviction, because here you are guaranteed to see not even one UFO, but an entire celestial show known as the "lights of Hessdalen".
Strange lights
The Hessdalen Valley is 75 sq. km surrounds the village of the same name, in which about 200 people now live. And all of them have long ceased even to look at the sky - they are used to the fact that multi-colored lights are constantly sweeping over their houses.
For the first time, they started talking about the unidentified lights seen in the sky of Hessdalen in the 19th century. But then they appeared only occasionally. Everything changed at the very end of World War II, when unknown guests began to visit more and more often. And in the late 1970s, they became so active that they finally got their own nickname: from now on (and if it goes on like this, then forever) they began to be called "the lights of Hessdalen."
The locals, who saw them every single day, did not have the habit of keeping their mouths shut, and it was useless. Rumors of strange lights began to spread throughout the country, and then, of course, went beyond the borders of Norway. Well, it all ended with the fact that in 1981 the UFO Congress held in Great Britain decided to properly study the Hessdalen phenomenon.
Scientists take over
Promotional video:
No sooner said than done. In 1984, 40 scientists from Ostfold University, led by Professor Erling Strand, arrived in the valley and began work. And in the very first days, the group collected a huge amount of photo and video material: after all, the "lights of Hessdalen" did not even think to hide, they appeared before the researchers as much as 53 times. Scientists have approached the matter thoroughly. They used the latest equipment at the time: they had radars, seismographs, spectral analyzers, Geiger counter, infrared cameras and lasers. In addition, the researchers started journals in which they recorded the time of the appearance of the lights, drew hundreds of graphs and tables. They also placed highly sensitive microphones throughout the valley, which recorded sound anomalies, of which there were many in Hessalen.
In a word, a huge job has been done. But, alas, it did not bring researchers one step closer to solving the phenomenon. After spending several weeks in Hessdalen, they essentially left with nothing, deciding to return to the valley at the first opportunity.
And such an opportunity fell to Professor Strand and his colleagues a year later. In 1985 they arrived in Hessdalen with even more sophisticated equipment. But the weather took up arms against them: powerful snow storms forced the group to evacuate, curtailing all research. This annoying circumstance allowed ufologists to assume that the weather was spoiled by aliens in order to drive away annoying scientists. But this fraternity, as you know, is not so easy to stop.
In 1994, the first international congress was held in Hessdalen, in which many scientists, including from Russia, took part. All of them, as best they could, tried to explain the nature of the "lights of Hessdalen." They talked a lot about electromagnetic anomalies, ball lightning and plasmoids. There were also such explorers who had no doubt that the valley was indeed chosen by aliens. But in the end, no one succeeded in explaining exactly what was happening in Hessdalen. With that we parted …
Subsequently, a military base was built in the valley, where Italian and Scandinavian scientists continued to study the phenomenon.
Observation diary
What exactly do they see in the sky over the Norwegian valley? A variety of light anomalies, now appearing, then disappearing. Most often, these are luminous balls and rays: of a variety of colors, sizes and degrees of brightness. They "perform" both "solo" and as whole "groups". It is chaotic, then orderly. Some are visible on radar, but not visible to the eye. Others, on the contrary, are visible, but are not recorded by instruments. By the way, repeated spectral analyzes have yielded no results. Therefore, in their research, scientists had to start exclusively from the "observation diaries".
They identified three main groups of lights. The first included short-term chaotic blue glow. In the second, bright and relatively prolonged yellow-orange flashes. And, finally, in the third - multiple, equidistant from each other lights with a yellow core and red edges.
As for the shape of the UFO - and the "lights of Hessdalen", in fact, remain unidentified flying objects, it is represented in a very diverse way: here you can find balls, and pyramids, and triangles, and cylinders, and discs, and cigars, and trapezoids. …
Several times scientists managed to establish contact with them. So, they directed a laser beam at the UFO - and the object bifurcated, removed the beam - it again turned into a single one. There were times when the lights blinked - as if in response. And once the object itself sent a laser beam - as if it reflected the one directed at it.
Each fire also chose the method of movement at its own discretion. Some preferred to hover over the valley, others - to fly with lightning speed at speeds up to 8500 m / s. And all this is absolutely soundless and without leaving any traces behind.
Natural battery
Of course, over the years of research, the most skeptical scientists have proposed more than one explanation for the phenomenon of "Hessdalen's lights." According to one of the latter, by the way, published in the reputable scientific journal New Scientist, the valley is a natural accumulator. Due to the large volumes of reserves of zinc, copper and sulfur, it accumulates energy, as a result of which all kinds of energy objects appear in the sky above it.
There are indeed several abandoned sulfur mines in the valley, from which, during heavy rains, water mixed with sulfur flows into the local river. Thus, the river becomes an electrolyte, and its banks become electrodes. In addition, there are zinc deposits in the mountainous part of the valley, and a large amount of copper on its eastern slopes. That is, all the components of the battery are present.
However, this theory has many opponents. So, the Norwegian physicist Bjorn Samset believes that the distances between the deposits of metals are too great, and therefore no natural battery can work here in principle.
In the end, we have to state that in the case of the Hessdalen Valley and its lights we are dealing with a phenomenon - recognized, comprehensively studied, constantly observed, but still completely incomprehensible. And this despite the fact that in understanding what is happening, amateur researchers have joined forces with the most competent scientists in the field of physics!
It is possible that there is nothing supernatural in the "lights of Hessdalen", and in fact everything can be explained by ordinary physical processes, which we have not yet learned to record. But with the same degree of probability it can be assumed that what is happening in the valley is of an anomalous or even extraterrestrial nature. Who knows, maybe the metal deposits in the valley attract UFO pilots, and they are mining them unnoticed for us?
BACTERIA KILLERS
Unlike ball lightning, "Hessdalen's fires" do not leave any traces, although, once at the surface of the earth, they sterilize the soil - they kill bacteria.
VALLEY ELECTROFICATION
Some scientists believe that the "Hessdalen fires" are some kind of plasma clots. Good theory, but there is a nuance: in order for them to form, a strong electromagnetic field is needed. And for him, in turn, a breakthrough of electricity is required, which is simply nowhere to be found in an area where 1 sq. km of land accounts for 3.5 people …
