Hessdalen,
Norway |
Hessdalen is a 15 km long valley located 120
km south of Trondheim city, in the middle of Norway. There
was a three year long outbreak of earthlight sightings
there, starting in December of 1981 . Many pictures were
taken during that period. The lights attracted much media
interest, so Hessdalen became known world-wide. Many people
went to Hessdalen to observe the lights. Twenty-eight
well-known scientists from 8 countries attended a conference
there to attempt to solve the mystery of the Hessdalen
Phenomenon. |

Arendal, Norway |
Arendal is a town
located in southern Norway. There was a fourteen day
outbreak of earthlights there in November of 1981. The
duration of the Arendal outbreak was short compared with
Hessdalen outbreak. Luckily, an observer took photographs
during this period. |

Real-time camera, Hessdalen, Norway |
This is a link to IEA
co-founder, Professor Erling Strand's real time camera in
Norway. This camera overlooks the Hessdalen Valley where
there was an outbreak of earthlights in the early 80's.
Light activity in this remote valley (2 degrees south of the
Arctic circle) has significantly diminished since the 80's.
However there are still a few sightings. |
|
Marfa, Texas |
Marfa Texas is one of the most
celebrated earthlight areas in the United States. Sightings
go back to before times when white man settled in the area.
The Texas Department of Transportation has erected a special
viewing area between Marfa and Alpine Texas so that tourists
can stop to view the lights. However, one must be careful in
assuming they saw a genuine Marfa light. The viewing area is
full of bogus lights. Most of the sightings are car
headlights on a road that traverses a nearby mountain range.
The flatland (Mitchell flats) is also laced with jeep roads
and ranch roads. BUT, in this mix of bogus lights, there are
some real ones. The following is a video documentry about
the Marfa Lights. |
