In this Nature Mysteries Minisode, Katy Reiss and Laura Fawks Lapole investigate one of the most baffling natural light shows on Earth—the Hessdalen Lights of Norway. For over a century, glowing orbs have danced through a remote valley, pulsing, hovering, and splitting apart with no clear cause. Scientists have studied them for decades… and still, no one really knows what they are.
✨ What are the Hessdalen Lights, and how long have they been appearing?
📡 What did researchers discover using radar, magnetometers, and lasers?
🧲 Are they ball lightning, plasma, or something stranger?
👽 And what happens when you shine a laser at one (spoiler: it blinks back)
From magnetic anomalies to possible plasma reactions underground, this episode explores one of nature’s most haunting unsolved mysteries—where science meets the supernatural.
🎧 This is part of our Nature Mysteries series—short, weird, and scientifically unexplainable (for now).
