The blog about things that should not be forgotten

There are currently five competing physical explanations for the Hessdalen lights, all with peer-reviewed literature behind them, none of which accounts for the complete observational record. This is not a failure of science. It is a description of where the science stands. I am going to set out each model, note what it explains well, and note where it runs out.

In the winter of 1984, a team from Østfold University College arrived in Hessdalen with radar equipment, magnetometers, and a spectrum analyser. They were there for five weeks. In the first week they recorded fifty-three observations, several confirmed simultaneously by both visual sighting and radar return. What the instruments showed over the following decades is worth setting out carefully, because the data is more specific — and more strange — than most popular accounts suggest.
