Subject: EMBLA 2002 - Hessdalen Optical & Ground Survey 


Massimo Teodorani, Ph.d astrophysicist has released his
report 'EMBLA 2002 - An Optical and Ground Survey in Hessdalen'.

This report presents the results from the August 2002 field
expedition in Hessdalen, Norway, a joint collaboration between
Italian and Norwegian scientists in order to study the
unidentified light phenomenona reoccuring in the valley.

The high-energy plasma hypothesis has been considerably weakened
from this years optical measurements and analysis of light
distribution, which suggests two possible interpretations:

1) A silicon electro-heated ball-lightning -like 'lightball'
which can optically simulate a solid (object).

2) A uniformly illuminated solid (object).

Also, results from ground analysis where the light phenomena has
been observed close to the ground is presented. Very light above
normal radioactive detection could be made, target sample was
taken from this source and analysis revealed the presence of a
perculiar and somewhat anomalous spheroidal iron particle.
