Hi Magical:

Assuming for a moment that the sphere was a mile away, what would you
estimate its size to have been?  How high above the ground was it and was it
remaining stationary or did it move?  How long was it in view?  I gather
from the "fifteenth of a second" estimate that you were using video with so
many frames per second.  Did it disappear between one frame and the next?

I am not aware of studies by Teodorani.  It is a little surprising that
anything that sensational would not be getting more attention.

James

Hi James,
The spherical object was filmed by a fellow researcher, we estimate at about
a mile range. It simply disappeared in about a fifteenth of a second. It was
reflective, I think - there were angular surface features but I can't be
certain that they weren't reflections from the ground. I hesitate to use the
word object for several reasons including the way it disappeared. It seemed
to extend a tendril behind itself, from the top, and implode. Until it
disappeared it seemed to be a smooth, sphere - like a drop of mercury
suspended in zero gravity...
The lights are generally round though we have seen blobs of orange light
that look alot like the captures on Lake Ontario.
I think that night time makes the observations more visible, though we have
seen lights during daylight hours.
The location is remote and quite inhospitable.
I will wait to disclose the state it is located in until Teodorani's team
have published their initial studies....again, are you aware of the studies
by Teodorani?
I am still curious how a local population can be aware of these phenomena
but the information remains isolated. My own discussion with locals reveals
a combination of fear and apathy that seems unusual..

Hi Magical:

Wow! That really is unusual and sounds unlike the phenomenon I have been
investigating. Apparently the lights and objects you describe manifest
during daylight hours as well as at night. Are the reflective shapes regular
geometric shapes or irregular is shape? Are the sides smooth or jagged? Are
these lights and objects more likely to be seen at any particular time of
the day or night? Can you tell me what state they are located in?

I gather this must be a remote area else it would have been covered up with
people long ago. Please tell me more.

James

> Hi James,
> Phenomena at the location I have been examining manifest around the clock
and, as I mentioned, demonstrate a variety of appearances. There hasn't been
a visit yet that hasn't produced anomalous observations within 8-10 hours.
It is also interesting that we have seen phenomena that seem related to the
site itself as far as 30miles east of the location and 25miles north of the
site as well. I have seen them as high as 50degrees and several miles away
so they don't really qualify as "ground" lights.
> The self-luminous, metallic looking anomalies have appeared in two main
forms that I have seen, spherical shapes five two eight feet across and
rectangular shapes. The sphere did not seem luminous, it was reflective. The
rectangle was actually a very bright bluish white line that was vibrating at
a frequency to appear as a rectangular shape to unaided eyes and camcorders
at regular speed. A dissection of the video demonstrates a vertically
vibrating linear phenomenon, at 30frames per second. We observed this
phenomenon as it approached the location and then disappeared over it. It
was approximately 1-200 ft above ground level.
> We have seen lights of yellow-amber, green, red, white and blue as well as
unusual flashes.
> Erling Strand and I were standing on a berm watching after dark when a
yellow-green flash appeared out of the crapperal (chapperal) and passed
between us. Less than a second duration. I thought it was an visual artifact
until Erling asked me if I saw it.

and I estimate some of the native glyphs to be at least 5000yrs old.

has a rather practical interest in these phenomena, however they arise.
> I will say that when I am on-site, I try not to sleep. It seems like the
location has, I don't know how to put this... I just try not to sleep and
pay alot of attention to what is going on around me.

and green lights that seem to move into our immediate zone and withdraw.
Strange stuff indeed.

probability of seeing a mystery light on any given evening is approximately
15% or about one in seven. It is easy to spend countless nights without
seeing anything but the phenomena is very real and definitely does manifest
between sunset and sunrise. Appearances are almost always within 200 minutes
of day/night boundaries with about 2/3 of the appearances occurring in the
evening hours and the balance occurring in the morning hours. Never happens
during daylight hours and very rarely between midnight and 4:00 am. Don't
have data for Brown Mountain, NC or Min Min, Australia but have been given
the impression that Brown Mountain appearances may be even more rare.

quite pronounced. I met Erling Strand at this location in 2001 and it was
his opinion that the location was far more active than Hessdalen. I have
been to this location three times and we have documented activity on all
three occasions and it is my opinion that it is constant with multiple daily
manifestations.

35 potential locations but a more complete list would be in excess of a
hundred. I call these potential sites because many of them may be nothing
more than urban/rural legends or else created by explainable sources. I
discuss three sites that seem similar in nature and have a sufficient number
of creditable reports to be considered definite locations of mystery lights.
Those three locations are Mitchell Flat near Marfa, Texas, Brown Mountain,
NC and Min Min, Australia. I am convinced that all three of these sites do,
from time to time, display light phenomena. In the case of Marfa I know this
for certain and include in my book ample photographic evidence that cannot
be easily dismissed.

couple of months or you may request a copy directly from me.
