“…The wide field of this kind of disperser allows one to obtain a good quality spectrum even if the light ball is randomly moving (within an acceptably small angular motion), in the case that it is sufficiently luminous. 2 Remarkable exceptions have been noted, however (Nikitin et al, 2018), even though some values appear to be overestimated in the latter work.…”

Are the Hessdalen Lights a Reality, an Illusion, or a Mix of the Two ?

The Hessdalen lights (HLs in the following) are luminous, floating, more or less spherical atmospheric phenomena, with a lifetime of a few seconds to sometimes several minutes. These phenomena are seen in the Hessdalen Valley in Norway for decades. Unfortunately a full understanding of these baffling events is still lacking in spite of solid working scientific projects intended to explain them. This paper tries to improve the situation. It raises the questions where the energy for the creation of the HLs comes from, and what was its nature : (geo) chemical, electric or still other ? We propose a new scenario for the Hessdalen lights. It exploits the recent idea of stable and traversable wormholes whose the potential existence is beginning to be recognized in physics. Even though appearing highly speculative, this hypothesis has not been so far explored elsewhere while it could supply a full description of the wholeness of the phenomenon. On the other side even if the probability that a HL could indeed be a wormhole is may be low, this question should not dismissed out of hand. These theoretical considerations could help to increase knowledge and understanding of both the HLs and the wormholes, drawing mutual enrichment. In other words HLs could betray the presence of hidden wormholes and we must not let slip through our fingers this possibility even if it is very tiny. In this framework we discuss of the stability, the energetics and the oversized dimension of the HLs. In physics the final arbiter is not the theory but the experiment. Thus some “simple” experiments are eventually suggested (high time resolution photometry and magnetic field measurements). Eventually, if the process described is real and after mastering it, there is a free and inexhaustible source of energy that would be derived, a tremendous breakthrough after which we could forget the controlled nuclear fusion. Regarding its structure, the paper is divided in four paragraphs 1, 2,3, 4 independent of each other. Illustrative pictures help to understand the text.

The behavior in magnetic and electric fields of the Gatchina discharge, which is used mainly to create an analog of ball lightning in the laboratory in a normal atmosphere, is analyzed. Shown that in these studies it is possible to determine the sign of an uncompensated electric charge as in the active phase of the discharge, and in the forming long-lived luminous formations. Also shown that electric and magnetic fields can change the direction of movement of the forming luminous formation and even completely block its formation. The type and mechanism of existence firework ball lightning are considered, photos of which are presented in widely known monographs on the ball lightning.
