Collect data

We have the Blue Box talking pictures and video every night. Everything is saved and the interesting captures are manually put on the web. We hope, one day, to get an AI model trained on all the historical data.

We have two live-streaming low resolution cameras on YouTube. We have no capture of these streams - but if we could have an anomaly detection system - we could try to save the recording for that day.

We just got two high-resolution cameras from the University of Würzburg. This does have an AI system - and we are eager to learn more about this system! 

We have managed to collect some money to upgrade equipment in the Blue Box - where the big goal is triangulation. But then we need more than one location - and we are discussing 3 other locations that have both power and internet.

And finally - we do plan to use other anomaly detection systems too - not just cameras.

If you think you can help - please join us!

Inspire research

Because Hessdalen has been in the media for over 40 years - this site is visited by more than 90 countries every month - so everybody interested in UFOs/UAPs knows about Project Hessdalen. 

The first report from 1984, which employed a comprehensive suite of scientific instruments including  cameras, seismograph, radar, laser, magnetometer, geiger counter and IR-viewer, remains a valuable resource.
It documented 53 reports of the "Hessdalen Phenomena" during the 18-day field trip and spurred research efforts from scientists around the world.  (For more details, visit the 'Articles and Reports' page)

Operation Arctic Seals

Last year (June 2023), a team headed by Rune Røstad decided to located an unknown object in Djupsjøen and this February 20th the team dived down to take samples from the object.
Rune has said that "There will be another operation in the summer".

More research to come

We have more research project requests currently being formulated and two are from team-members:

Mathias Tømmervold (Norway) will say in the valley for 3 months to get "close to the phenomena".

David de Sousa Seixas (Portugal) is writing an application to study the phenomena.

We want to facilitate and collect the data for scientists interested in doing research on the Hessdalen Phenomena.

Create awareness

Some have experienced these phenomena and continue to peruse an answer to the question - what is this!

Erling P. Strand was lucky - he drove up to Hessdalen and saw it the first night! 

Back at work - telling his colleagues he wanted to study this - he was advised not to
- but he did anyway!

Both residents and visitors who have told about their experiences have been distrusted and ridiculed, but 40 years later there are still new witness reports.

The Phenomena are still there.

• Short flashes. 

• Long lasting bright lights. 

• Unidentified vessels have been seen.

• Non-humans have been reported.

Some have not experienced these phenomena but want to have answers to some questions:

• What is this plasma energy?

• How can these vessels move so fast
  with no sound?

• Who is inside these vessels?

Why Hessdalen?

There are many hotspots around the world, but this valley have 25 years with an automated surveillance system documenting the persistent nature of the phenomena

If we want to study UFOs/UAPs then Hessdalen is the Lab - we just need better equipment.

If we do not get help from the government, the military or the academia - we will tell the world - and ask the public to donate or pay a small membership fee - and we will collect data and do the research our self.
