The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies and Project Hessdalen Announce Partnership

"The SCU is pleased to announce a partnership agreement with Project Hessdalen, the longest continuously running multi-instrumented field research program on UAP."

The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), a data-driven organization of scientists, academics, and research professionals dedicated to conducting and supporting open scientific research into unidentified anomalous phenomena

Press Release The UFO Chronicles 3-9-2023

(UAP), released the following announcement:

The SCU is pleased to announce a partnership agreement with Project Hessdalen, the longest continuously running multi-instrumented field research program on UAP. This international project, located in Hessdalen Valley, Norway, began in 1983. Our partnership gives Project Hessdalen formal access to SCU’s scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. In turn, the agreement enables SCU instrument developers to gain from Project Hessdalen’s enormous experience in field research of anomalous nocturnal lights and UAP.

Robert Powell, SCU Executive Board Member: “Unidentified aerial phenomena are witnessed on a global scale. Partnering with Project Hessdalen demonstrates the international interest in exploring the science of UAP.”

Richard Hoffman, SCU Executive Board Member: “Since the early 1980s, UAP have made repeatable appearances in Hessdalen, Norway. Erling Strand, one of our SCU Contributing Members, has engaged in long-term instrumented scientific studies of this phenomenon in conjunction with numerous other scientists around the world. The late Dr. J. Allen Hynek, during a visit in 1985, considered Hessdalen a ‘UFO Laboratory’ and was impressed with the phenomenon. SCU and Project Hessdalen share the same scientific interests and goals, namely the scientific study of UAP. We look forward to this partnership.”

Erling Strand, Project Hessdalen Project Manager: “Together, we can learn a lot about UAP on an international scale. Our collaborative efforts with the SCU will hopefully one day lead to greater scientific understanding of anomalous activities.”

SCU promotes and encourages the rigorous scientific examination of UAP, commonly known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). SCU comprises scientists, members of the high tech and defense industries, former military, and other professionals, utilizing scientific principles, methodologies, and practices to advance the study of UAP observed and reported around the globe.

The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Contributions to SCU are tax-deductible.

Project Hessdalen, named after a small Norwegian valley in the middle of Norway, is dedicated to the scientific understanding and validation of UAP as a real phenomenon. Project Hessdalen was established in 1983 and cooperates with institutions and universities to investigate and understand UAP.

Why Mysterious UFO-Like Lights
Glow in this Norwegian Valley

     As a name, Hessdalen may be more familiar to UFO watchers than scientists. The valley in Norway is prone to "strange, hovering, flashing balls of lights" best attributed, as some believe, to alien origins. Now scientists say they're on the verge of an explanation: The valley is a giant natural battery. ...

Sometimes the lights are as big as cars and can float around for up to 2 hours. Other times they zip down the valley before suddenly fading away. Then there are the blue and white flashes that come and go in the blink of an eye, and daytime sightings that look like metallic objects in the sky.

The Hessdalen phenomenon has been around for at least a century, but it reached a peak in the 1980s when the lights suddenly started appearing 1o or 20 times a week. UFO enthusiasts took this as a sign that the valley was a portal to other worlds. Google Hessdalen today, and you'll still find plenty of UFO conspiracy sites.

But that strange bursts of light in the 1980s attracted physicists, too, interest piqued by the idea of some unexplained natural phenomenon. In the decades since, they have determined the glow likely comes from air turned into plasma.

The unique geology of the valley could be responsible for this plasma. The valley is formed by rocks on one side rich in copper and the other rich in iron and zinc—not unlike the cathode and anode of a battery. Sulfuric acid, leached from the abandoned sulfur mine at the bottom of the valley, could then turn the river into the weak acid of an electrolyte. But where does the charge to energize plasma come from?

It may be extraterrestrial after all. . . .

     Hessdalen is a small valley in the central part of Norway. At the end of 1981 through 1984, residents of the Valley became concerned and alarmed about strange, unexplained lights. Project Hessdalen was established in the summer of 1983 to study Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) and Unidentified Flying Object(UFO) sightings. A field investigation was carried out between 21 January and 26 February 1984. Fifty-three light observations were made during the field investigation.

The Norwegian UFO Mystery Solved?

     The so-called Hessdalen lights have been seen ever since the 1940's and have since 1984 been monitored by volunteers.

Hessdalen is a small valley in the central part of Norway. At the end of 1981 through 1984, residents of the Valley became concerned and alarmed about strange, unexplained lights that appeared at many locations throughout the Valley. Hundreds of lights were observed. At the peak of activity there were about 20 reports a week.

Project Hessdalen was established in the summer of 1983. A field investigation was carried out between 21st of January and 26th of February 1984. Fifty-three light observations were made during the field investigation.

An automatic measurement station was put up in Hessdalen in August 1998.

According to the scientists, it is now clear that the phenomen is not UFO-related, but are luminous balls containing some form of energy.

- We have pictures which show the optical spectre, and can therefore determine which elements they are made of, says researcher Erling Strand of the Oestfold College.

However, he says much work remains before he is ready to give the final answer.
