Project Hessdalen Formally Established with Scientific Equipment

By mid-1983, members of UFO groups in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Society of Psycho Bio Physics formally establish Project Hessdalen under the direction of Leif Havik, Odd-Gunnar Roed, and Jan Fjellander. Through several universities, the group obtains radar equipment, a seismograph, fluxgate magnetometer, spectrum analyzer, Geiger counters, infrared viewers, and cameras. They begin sentry duty in the Norwegian landscape to scientifically document the recurring Hessdalen lights phenomenon. The lights had nearly ceased for much of the year, but by early winter the investigators' persistence pays off.

Project Hessdalen was formally established in mid-1983 by a collaboration of UFO groups and scientific organizations. The project aimed to investigate unexplained light phenomena observed in the Hessdalen valley in Norway.

The Incident By June 1983, Project Hessdalen was formally established. The project was led by Leif Havik, Odd-Gunnar Roed, and Jan Fjellander. The collaboration included members of UFO groups from Norway, Sweden, and Finland, as well as the Society of Psycho Bio Physics. Through connections with several universities, the project acquired scientific equipment. This included radar equipment, a seismograph, and a fluxgate magnetometer.

Investigation The source text does not provide information about any official investigations into Project Hessdalen. The project itself was a scientific endeavor to investigate the Hessdalen lights.

Significance Project Hessdalen represents a significant effort to apply scientific methods to the study of UFO phenomena. The establishment of the project with formal organization and scientific equipment demonstrates a commitment to rigorous investigation. The collaborative nature of the project, involving multiple countries and organizations, highlights the international interest in understanding unexplained aerial phenomena.
