How to detect the Hessdalen Phenomena (HP)

The HP can be detected in different ways. Visual by your eyes, by a camera and/or by different kinds of instruments. Some people may also detect the HP using their feelings and/or other mental means.


It is also important to know the differences of the four types of the HP. All behave and look differently.


The presentation will go through the different aspects of the HP and what you should be prepared on. A more detailed description of the four different types, and how to be most prepared for the experience.


What you should look for. How to prepare your camera. What data you should note in your notebook. What is the direction using your compass, how high above the horizon, time of day, weather, clouds, duration of the sighting and movement of the HP.
