  • A Rebuttal of the EMBLA 2002 Report on the Optical Survey in Hessdalen
    Italian Committee for Project Hessdalen Comitato Italiano per il Progetto Hessdalen A rebuttal of the EMBLA 2002 report on the optical survey in Hessdalen MATTEO LEONE Italian Committee for Project Hessdalen (CIPH) scientific advisor e-mail: [email protected] Abstract – On August 2002, a scientific expedition to the Hessdalen valley (Norway) – code-named EMBLA – aimed at investigating on an unidentified atmospheric light-phenomenon, was carried out by the physics section of an Italian team of scientists. According to the EMBLA 2002 physics report, the evidence collected point at an unknown atmospheric light phenomenon “able to produce a luminous power of up to 100 kW”. The photometrical and spectroscopical data collected by the team of scientists on August 2002 are analysed and reasons for rejecting the suggested conclusions are presented in this paper. Furthermore, it is proposed an explanation that satisfactorily explains the evidence in terms of a known phenomenon. In spite of this negative findings, the anecdotal evidence collected by this author at Hessdalen suggests that clearly-defined, specific studies into the field of anomalous aerial phenomena should be supported. 1. Introduction Hessdalen is a valley stretching over 12 km of a thinly populated area (Bygdekatalog, 2000) of central Norway, south-east of Trondheim and near the Swedish border (Dalsbygda, 1992; Haltdalen, 1995). As from November 1981 a series of unidentified lights had been reported by the residents of the valley. According to the sighting reports the lights were seen hovering or moving around at various speed. These lights could be anywhere. Sometimes they were reported to be just above the roof of the houses, or just above the ground.

  • Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)
    Journal of Scientifi c Exploration, Vol. 27, No. 3, pp. 415–453, 2013 0892-3310/13 RESEARCH ARTICLE Unidentifi ed Aerial Phenomena (UAP) A New Hypothesis toward Their Explanation DANIEL M. GROSS 15 rue Bachelin, CH-2000 Neuchâtel, Switzerland [email protected] Submitted 12/4/2012, Accepted 4/11/2013, Pre-Published 8/15/2013 Abstract—For six decades now luminous and other unidentifi ed aerial phe- nomena (UAP) have been sighted worldwide in large numbers. Extensive scientifi c unidentifi ed aerial phenomena observations have been made over the last 26 years in Hessdalen, Norway. The optical properties of lumi- nous UAPs have been described in detail, but all eff orts to explain them by terrestrial causes have failed. Earlier scientifi c attempts to explain UAPs by extraterrestrial visitation (ETV) have failed as well. A new ETV hypothesis is proposed which aims at causally explaining all luminous UAP sightings in Hessdalen and most elsewhere. To this end a galactic neighborhood sce- nario and model is defi ned. It explains why a stealth ETV probe equipped with artifi cial intelligence (AI) has been built by an exo-civilization and sent in a historical past into our solar system. It states that this extraterrestrial visitation probe (ETVP), now orbiting the earth, occasionally sends a stealth electromagnetic beam (SEMB) down into the atmosphere. It explains in de- tail how such an SEMB produces luminous UAPs by means of a nonlinear photonic mechanism which, as such, has been known and investigated since 1995 as a branch of current femtosecond physics. This photon mecha- nism is further developed into a UAP-A and a UAP-B model.

Researchers’ Views on Unexplored Atmospheric Light Phenomena Etienne Caron 1* and Pouya Faridi 2 1 Department of Biology, Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zürich, Zurich, Switzerland, 2 Department of Phytopharmaceuticals, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran For hundreds of years, scientists have been studying light, which is used nowadays to explore the universe and cure diseases. Here, we present the results of a survey indicating a significant support from a subset of the academic community to investigate rare, unusual and unexplained atmospheric light phenomena that have historically been unexplored by scientists—the transient luminous phenomena in the valley of Hessdalen in Norway in particular. We propose that stable, long-term funding, and thorough investigation of poorly understood and/or unexplored luminous phenomena occurring in the low atmosphere could lead to the creation of new inter-disciplinary research programs in multiple universities, and ultimately, to important fundamental discoveries in the field of atmospheric science, photonics and beyond.

  • Grailzine Cosmic Beams Amidst Disclosure
    The Human Meditation Of Cosmic Disclosure Ananda MJ Bosman GRAILZINE THE HUMAN MEDITATION OF COSMIC DISCLOSURE (Part I) Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, Beams, Radiations, Realisation, & Healing copyright © 2015 by Ananda MJ Bosman, all rights reserved. February 27, 2015 Global awareness that a cosmic Intelligence is engaging the human race now, is progressing daily, and becoming a media trend-line. Awareness to a cosmic Other is augmenting deeper amidst the roots of mankind's post modern realisation — like an awakening yawn from the amnesia of cognitive slumber. Whilst such headlines as “Scientists predict Earth-like planets around most stars,” become a monthly standard — it would appear that history is in the making once more, as the US for the first time gives benefits to a US Air Force sergeant for exposure to UFO radiation. Amidst the documented effects of UFOs on human physiology, there is a good percentage regarding UFO healing(s), we shall explore cases of deliberate healing of death bed ailments, amidst the pertinent question, “Is it safe to engage dialogues with the cosmic Other?” For some, it would seem slowly, but surely, that exciting things are unfolding in a cosmic “disclosure,” or cosmic rewrite, amidst mankind. In a larger context, a LOT is happening in a short period of time. And a wider existential realisation is glimmering through. I know many people have been awaiting our progress report. It has had to wait until now, due to many diverse reasons. We have reduced this report from hundreds of pages (with probably far to much specific information for most). Amidst the most avant guard deductions of hadronic science there are such advanced notions that will make the ETI hypothesis seem absurd.

Although photographic and eyewitness evidence supporting the actual existence of so far unexplained low atmospheric phenomena in the Hessdalen valley does exist, the phenomenological picture obtained by the EMBLA scientists is shown to be largely questionable and explainable as unrecognised vehicle headlamps.

Questions are made Answers are made. Questioning? Answering? -A dadaist poet Introduction According to astronomer B. Haisch (2002), "Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers." Philosophers and historians of science have been debating for years about what is at the heart of the scientific enterprise. There are some students that put the focus on the first part of the slogan, i.e. on answers, advances and commitment to a paradigmatic worldview. This school of thought dates back to T. Kuhn's influential Structure of Scientijic Revolutions.

For more than a century, locals, tourists, scientists and researchers have been baffled by this weird and complex phenomenon. Most people think of the lights as a wondrous, colorful display on dark ridges at night. And yet an entire sub-culture associates the enigma with UFOs, underground bases, conspiracies, reality warps, and high strangeness similar to the Bermuda Triangle. In this guidebook, we’ll focus on the display itself. Despite fascinating photographs of weird illuminations presented for years, some who have never seen the lights are convinced they don’t even exist. There is only one way for you to know. You must venture out and look for yourself. I have been investigating the phenomenon for decades. In this guidebook, I’ll give you a solid understanding of the mythos behind the lights, and tips on how to properly observe the mountain yourself. All the while, I will maintain a somewhat cautious and neutral view on what they may be.

  • Scientific Inquiry on Anomalous Atmospheric Light Phenomena: Past Research Gaps and New Methodological Goals
    Comitato Italiano per il Progetto Hessdalen Italian Committee for Project Hessdalen On the occasion of ten years of ICPH activity (2000-2009), Dr. Massimo Teodorani sent us a long "Letter to the Editor", that we publish as received. We thank the Author for this contribution to the open debate about instrumental methodology to be applied to the luminous phenomena in low atmosphere and for his special attention to Hessdalen-like phenomena. the editors SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY ON ANOMALOUS ATMOSPHERIC LIGHT PHENOMENA: PAST RESEARCH GAPS AND NEW METHODOLOGICAL GOALS Massimo Teodorani, Ph.D. Astrophysicist, Researcher and Science Writer E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. On the basis of the experience of this author, a decade of scientific research on earthlights is amply discussed and pondered from the point of view of instrumental measurements. After an introduction that shows a brief synthesis of what has been done so far, all the different measurement techniques and tactical/strategic procedures that have been used so far or that are planned for the near future are discussed in detail. Constructive criticism on the gaps that emerged from this research is punctually pointed out. New procedural ideas are widely proposed and scientifically motivated in order to improve this research and to stimulate researchers on this field in order to search for an optimum common protocol. Keywords : astrophysics – criticism – data analysis - earthlight – electromagnetism – Hessdalen – instrumentation – methodology – measurement – physics – spectroscopy – strategy – tactics – theory – unidentified aerial phenomenon – VLF/ELF Introduction The recurrent behaviour of some anomalous atmospheric light phenomena such as “earthlights” (Il Laboratorio delle Anomalie, website; Long, 1990; Noguez, 2006; Odenwald, website; The Earth Anomalous Lightforms, website) has offered investigators an opportunity to study them scientifically.

  • EMBLA 2002 an Optical and Ground Survey in Hessdalen
    EMBLA 2002 An Optical and Ground Survey in Hessdalen Massimo Teodorani, Ph.D. Astrophysicist CNR – Istituto di Radioastronomia Via Fiorentina – Medicina (BO) – North ITALY E-mail : [email protected] and [email protected] Gloria Nobili Physicist Museum of the Physics Department – Bologna University Bologna – North ITALY E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. A two-weeks scientific expedition to Hessdalen, aimed at investigating on field mysterious atmospheric light-phenomena, was carried out in August 2002 by the physics section of an italian team of scientists. Results are presented and discussed. Photometric analysis shows that the light-phenomenon is able to produce a luminous power of up-to 100 kW. A 3-D analysis of photo frames shows that the luminous phenomenon doesn’t resemble canonical plasma features (a sharply gaussian PSF) unless the light phenomenon is caused by one recently discovered natural light-ball of BL type whose light-distribution (PSF) might be able to simulate an uniformly illuminated solid. A comparison of the light-distribution in different time-sequential frames shows that apparent slightly exponential wings of the PSF features are probably due to variations of atmospheric turbulence and transparency and not to intrinsic properties. Maximum phases of luminosity of the radiating surface are demonstrated to be due to the sudden apparition of a cluster of co- existing light-balls at constant temperature, while the inflation of light-balls is ruled out. Spectra show no resolved lines but a three-peaked feature which might be attributed both to some kind of artificial illumination system and to a mixture of many blended lines due to several chemical elements (more possibly: silicon).
