  • Investigation of the Marfa Lights
    Forward The word “investigation” is defined as “a searching inquiry for ascertaining facts; detailed or careful examination.” The key word here is “facts”. Do ghosts exist? No, it has not been proven. Therefore are no facts to investigate. What we do have is the testimony of the witnesses and this is where an investigational process will work. Investigations are often viewed as a skeptical activity because the main goal is trying to determine what the witness actually saw. Is it explainable or not? This is done through critical thinking and an event replication process developed by SGHA. This is an important concept because what defines a haunting or ghost sighting is “Multiple witnesses reporting unusual phenomena over a period of time”. If these phenomena can be explained, the witness reports are no longer validating paranormal activity as a cause and thus there is no ghost or haunting. Additionally historical research may be done in an attempt to validate facts. It is important to understand that the goal of an investigation is not to find evidence of the paranormal but to attempt to identify any natural or manmade causes of the reported phenomena Definition of Terms Investigation Status: Unsolved investigations will have either an open or closed status. An investigation is given an “Open” status if: The investigators were unable to replicate all of the witness events. Something significant remains that is still unsolved. It is important to understand that an “open” investigation does not mean that the unsolved facts are paranormal in nature. It simply means that we have exhausted our resources and cannot solve the “open” items/events.

  • 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.
