Last week we accidentally stumbled upon – that’s how it works at StumbleUpon,
isn’t it ? – a picture of the so called Hessdalen lights. An
interesting phenomenon in the UFO category (it are, until now, non
identified flying objects), be it by the sole fact that “real”
scientists don’t just dismiss it as imaginary.
The
phenomenon is basically all about strange lights being seen since the
1940s (possibly even earlier) in the Norwegian Hessdalen valley. The
activity became that frequent in the first half of the 1980s – lights
were seen up to 20 times a week – that finally serious scientific
research took off, leading to the installation of the automated research
station Hessdalen AMS
in 1998 and the start of the EMBLA-program, a cooperation between
Ostfold University College and the Italian Consiglio Nazionale delle
Ricerche.
The
lights usually are bright, white or yellow, of unknown origin and
standing on or floating above ground level, but that’s about the only
thing being certain for now. Because of the overwhelming presence of ore
in the valley – the supplies would be much bigger than what was
originally in the ground at the nearby Roros, which was the stage for
fierce battles at the beginning of WW II – the lights are however often
connected to minerals.
That’s also what the newest theory
is doing. Scientists now are convinced that the lights are being formed
by some natural, underground “battery” created by metallic minerals in
reaction with the sulphurous river Hesja flowing through the area. On
one side of the river there seem to be rocks containing zinc and iron,
at the other side rocks containing copper, and between those two, via
the sulphuric water of the river, there would emerge an electrical flow.
From that process bubbles of ionized gas would emerge when the
sulphurous fumes from the river Hesja react with the humid air of the
valley. The fact that geology also forms electromagnetic lines in the
valley would account for the orbs moving around (in some cases they just
float, in other cases they reach speeds of up to 8 kilometres per
second).
The
orbs by the way make no sound, seem cool and leave no scorch marks on
the ground, but they do on contact kill the soil microbes. Some experts
thus judge that the lights are some kind of plasma (that can be cool too
and kill soil microbes, but requires high temperatures and much energy
to be produced), while others think that they are (despite the fact that
they don’t leave scorch marks) some kind of ball lightning, because
similar phenomena in China have been seen, though analysis of the
Hessdalen lights show that they contain – and that metal is only to be
found in Scandinavia – scandium too. Number of scientists meanwhile is
convinced that in the solution of the riddle there might be a new manner
of storing energy, something which is necessary to contain plasma in
the presumed way.
We at The Maier-Files
have no problem with that possibility, howeer this “solution” doesn’t
explain why the phenomenon is much more active in one period than in
another, nor does it provide us with an answer to the fact that in the
valley on several occasions large pieces of grass – with weights up to
2000 kilo – were cut out in a perfect rectangular form and moved over
several meters without any damage, meanwhile clearing the rocks under
it, a phenomenon associated to the lights by the inhabitants of the
valley.
Nah, in The Maier-Files we have strange lights appearing too. And, no, we’re not going to explain them right away. Buy Book 1 – The Initiation when it’s published and you’ll get to know something more about it. For now you can of course already read our free prequel.
