hours. I remember my Uncle Ernie’s (Warren Ernsberger) personal stories of this
day (in this blog somewhere in the last several months), and I remember the
1962 film The Longest Day. I don’t think I ever read the book. I read
Churchill’s History of the English Speaking Peoples. Surely I have read
a book on Normandy and D-Day.
The point is not what books you’ve read, it
is about how the context of Uncle Ernie’s personal stories and The Longest Day
has settled in your heartansoulanmind. Post. – Amorella
Mid-afternoon. You are at the Tanger Outlets on I-71 and Exit 65 waiting for Carol. While near Westerville you stopped to order sandwiches plus at Giant Eagle at Rt. 23 (Columbus Pike) and St. Rt. 750 then drove passed Polaris Shopping and over to Max and Erma’s in Westerville where you met Mary Lou and Gayle. Once lunch was over everyone went their separate ways with errands and such so you headed home after finding Cathy and Tod were not home. The plus is that before lunch you stopped at the bank for cash and stopped at Schneider’s for some donuts to eat once home. – Amorella

hours. Lunch conversation was pleasant enough but the girls kept gravitating to
like conversations, as such I sat and listened most of the time.
Once home you watched an episode of “Battle
Creek” and then the Belmont Stakes and saw American Pharaoh win the Triple
Crown. Checking your email Doug sent you a note to check on then Norway lights
called “The Hessdalen Phenomenon” which you did at hessdalen.org. – Amorella

hours. It is indeed interesting and to me it appears to support the concept
that some UFO’s are a natural phenomenon we do not presently understand.

Hessdalen light
From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hessdalen
light is an unexplained light usually seen in the Hessdalen valley in . . .
Norway.
History and description
The Hessdalen light
most often appears as a bright white or yellow light of unknown origin standing
or floating above the ground level. Sometimes the light can be seen for more
than one hour. There are several other types of unexplained lights observed in
the Hessdalen valley.
Unusual lights have
been reported in the region since the 1940s or earlier. Especially high
activity of Hessdalen lights took place from December 1981 until the summer of
1984 when lights were observed 15–20 times per week. The frequency of the
lights caused a gathering of numerous tourists staying there overnight to see
the phenomenon. Since then, the activity has decreased and now
the lights are observed some 10–20 times per
year.
Research
Since 1983 there has
been ongoing scientific research often nicknamed "Project Hessdalen",
initiated by UFO-Norge
and UFO-Sweden. The project
was active as field investigations during 1983–1985. In 1998, the Hessdalen AMS automated
scientific research station was built in the valley. It registers and records the
appearance of lights.
Later, the EMBLA
program was initiated. It brings together established scientists and students
into researching these lights. Leading research institutions are Østfold
University College (Norway) and the Italian
National Research Council.
Possible explanations
In spite
of ongoing research there is no convincing explanation of the origin of these
lights. However, there are numerous working hypotheses.
•
One possible
explanation attributes the phenomenon to an incompletely understood combustion
process in the air involving clouds of dust from the valley floor containing
scandium.
•
•
One recent
hypothesis suggests that the lights are formed by a cluster of macroscopic Coulomb crystals
in a plasma produced by the ionization of air and dust by alpha particles
during radon decay in the dusty atmosphere. Several physical properties (oscillation,
geometric structure, and light spectrum) observed in Hessdalen lights (HL)
phenomenon can be explained through the dust plasma model. Radon decay produces
alpha particles (responsible by helium emissions in HL spectrum) and
radioactive elements such as polonium. In 2004, Teodorani showed an occurrence
where a higher level of radioactivity on rocks was detected near the area where
a large light ball was reported. In fact, when radon is released into air, its
solid decay products readily attach to airborne dust. A new computer simulation
shows that dust immersed in ionized gas (i.e., dusty plasmas) can organize
itself into double helixes. The simulations suggested that under conditions
commonly found in space, the dust particles first form a cylindrical structure
that sometimes evolved into helical structures. Along some spirals, the radius
of the helix was seen to change abruptly from one value to another and then
back again, providing a mechanism for storing information in terms of the
length and radius of a section of a spiral. Hessdalen lights may take the
helical structure. Surprisingly, dusty plasmas may also assume this structure.

Another
hypothesis explains HL as a product of piezoelectricity generated under
specific rock strains (Takaki and Ikeya, 1998) because many crystal rocks
include quartz grains, which produce an intense charge density. In a 2011
paper, based in the dusty plasma theory of HL, it is suggested that
piezoelectricity of quartz cannot explain a peculiar property assumed by the HL
phenomenon – the presence of geometrical structures in its center. Paiva and
Taft have shown a mechanism of light ball cluster formation in Hessdalen lights
by the nonlinear interaction of ion-acoustic and dusty-acoustic waves with low
frequency geoelectromagnetic waves in dusty plasmas. The theoretical model
shows that the velocity of ejected light balls by HL cluster is of about 10,000
m s−1 in a good agreement with the observed velocity of some ejected light
balls, which is estimated as 20,000 m s−1. Why is the ejected ball always
green-colored? Ejection of small green light ball from HL is due to radiation
pressure produced by the interaction between very low frequency electromagnetic
waves (VLF) and atmospheric ions (present in the central white-colored ball)
through ion-acoustic waves (IAW). Probably only O2+ ions (electronic transition
(b4Σg- → a4Πu)), with green emission lines, is transported by IAW.
Electronic bands of O2+ ion occur in auroral spectra. Electron-molecular-ion
dissociative recombination coefficient rate α as functions of electron
temperature Te and cross sections σ as a function of electron energy E have
been have measured by Mehr and Biondi for N2+ and O2+ over the electron
temperature interval 0.007–10 eV. The estimated temperature of HL is of about
5,000 K. In this temperature, the rate coefficient of dissociative
recombination will be respectively α(Te)O2+ ~ 10-8 cm3 s-1, and α(Te)N2+ ~ 10-7
cm3 s-1. Thus, the nitrogen ions will be decomposed in N2+ + e- → N + N* more rapidly than oxygen
ions in the HL plasma. Only ionic-species are transported by IAW. Therefore,
only oxygen ions will be predominant ejected green light balls from a central
white ball in HL, presenting negative band of O2+ with electronic transition
b4Σg- → a4Πu after an IAW formation. Paiva and Taft presented a model
for resolving the apparently contradictory spectrum observed in Hessdalen
lights (HL) phenomenon. Thus, its nearly flat spectrum on the top with steep
sides is due to the effect of optical thickness on the bremsstrahlung spectrum.
At low frequencies self-absorption modifies the spectrum to follow the
Rayleigh–Jeans part of the blackbody curve. This spectrum is typical of dense
ionized gas. Additionally, spectrum produced in the thermal bremsstrahlung
process is flat up to a cutoff frequency, ν cut, and falls off exponentially at
higher frequencies. This sequence of events forms the typical spectrum of HL
phenomenon when the atmosphere is clear, with no fog. According to the model,
spatial color distribution of luminous balls commonly observed in HL phenomenon
are produced by electrons accelerated by electric fields during rapid fracture
of piezoelectric rocks under the ground.

Another
hypothesis is that an extraterrestrial intelligence is behind the Hessdalen
light. This hypothesis has not been discussed in mainstream science,
and it is worthy of consideration only if all of the prosaic explanations are
falsified.
•
There have been some sightings
positively identified as misperceptions of astronomical bodies, aircraft, car
headlights, and mirages.

hours. The mention of the double helix form in process is more than interesting
in itself. Coincidence? Probably, but still, it is interesting.
