A self-consistent definitive theory of
the phenomenon’s nature and origin in all its aspects cannot be constructed
yet quantitatively, but some of the observations can be explained by an
electrochemical model for the ball-lightning phenomenon. The importance is
stressed of using more sophisticated instrumentation in the future.
It is not yet known whether these manifestations are different and rarer aspects of the same ‘‘standard’’ light phenomena or whether they are distinct phenomena that overlap with the standard one for some unknown reasons. A similar strange mixture of ‘‘standard earth-light phenomena’’ and very exotic features are reported in other locations of the Earth too (see Appendix 2). This uncomfortable side of the anomaly constitutes
valuable observational evidence and must be investigated more deeply. Also, working hypotheses different from those covering earth lights (Teodorani, 1998, 2000, 2001a, 2001b; Sturrock, 1999) should be followed up. This research must be conducted by considering how far standard physics can take us, but also
with some parallel attention to those other anomalies whose possibly spurious relevance should be investigated. This means simply following one of the main prerequisites of science: methodological rigor. Methodological rigor can be applied to everything.
In general, all of the evidence we have found demands further study using more sophisticated instrumentation. For example, more precise synchronization of radio and optical detection is required if we are to understand the possible connections between them. New spectra of the light emission must be obtained at higher resolution, and recordable infra-red data are needed. Radar instruments with imaging capability are required both to determine the kinematic parameters of the tracks and to determine their cross section.

Have you watched the documentary about Hessdalen?

The many witness accounts of structured craft of various sizes cannot be explained away as natural phenomena.
Remember these witnesses are quiet rural Norwegians, they would have very little to gain by making these stories up. I would say that there a lot of people that haven't came forward with their sightings.

I think that in almost all the reported cases people tend to “fantasize” what they see in good faith: it is a psychological effect that is often triggered and can happen to everyone. I also think that the electromagnetic field the phenomenon produces, especially if it is emitted in low frequency, may induce hallucination states in the mind of people, so that possibly what effectively happened around them may be altered by a neurological factor. These are hypotheses that do not lessen the sincerity of witnesses in telling these facts. Unfortunately these witnesses add very little to scientific investigation but certainly do increase statistics of the area.

And what about the very large piece of earth mysteriously cut from the ground and moved, perfectly intact, a small distance from it's original location? No machinery tracks, all the cuts made with precision, and the weight of the piece itself? In a remote location, and discovered quite by accident?

There is/was something going on in the Hessdalen area that defies explanation.
