The blog about things that should not be forgotten

I am writing this from Honolulu, from Bishop’s kitchen, at an hour I would normally be asleep. My flight to Los Angeles leaves in two hours. I have not packed. I am writing this because I write things down before I do them, and because if I do not write this now I do not know when I will.

I have not published anything since April. I have been reading the same pages of the same notebook for six months. I am still in Honolulu. I have not booked a flight.

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.

Eight months since I published the notebook. I have not heard from Pavel Šimánek. I have been going back through the pages I did not include, and I have found a research trail that I think someone else should be able to follow.

I want to be careful about what I am about to write. I have been careful with this material for a long time. What follows is not a claim. It is a convergence that I have been watching accumulate for the better part of a decade, and which I can no longer continue to write around.
