The Mystery of Hessdalen, Norway | Richard Dolan Show interview w/Erling Strand
Analysis Summary
Summary
Dr. Erling Strand has studied the Hessdalen lights in Norway since the early 1980s. The phenomenon began in December 1981 when locals saw bright lights moving in the mountains. These lights appeared frequently, sometimes up to 20 times a week. Dr. Strand and his friends visited Hessdalen in September 1982 and witnessed a strong light moving and shining spotlights for nearly two hours. He later conducted scientific investigations, gathering data and collaborating with researchers, including J. Allen Hynek. The lights have not been fully explained, and Dr. Strand considers them mysterious. The ongoing research has led to a decrease in local sightings, and the community has become hesitant to share their experiences due to ridicule from the media.
