From F-16s to UFOs: My Hessdalen UAP encounter!

In this video, I share my exciting experience investigating the Hessdalen lights phenomenon in Norway. As a retired F-16 pilot turned UAP investigator, I traveled to Hessdalen for a field trip weekend in September. Along with other researchers, including Carl Crusher, we witnessed several unexplained light phenomena over three nights. I describe observing quick flashes of light, Carl's sighting of a possible UAP landing near his cabin, and our group's encounter with a long-duration light at Camp 2 that defied conventional explanations. Throughout the video, I present night vision footage, discuss possible explanations, and express my enthusiasm for having personally witnessed the famous Hessdalen lights. I encourage viewers to visit Hessdalen themselves and thank my supporters for making this investigation possible.

Thanks for watching, liking, and subscribing! It really helps the channel.

3 hotspots for 'Earth lights' in Australia are the Boulia to Winton road in Queensland (where the famous 'Min Min' lights are seen), the Ernest Giles Road in the Northern Territory and the Fyans Creek Valley in the Grampians National Park in Victoria. I saw the lights on the E Giles road many times over a 3 months combined period working in the area. Some zoomed up to us as close as 50m away. Orange, yellow, red alternating colors, appearing to spin and leaving a reflective glow on the ground. Some would accelerate to positions a kilometer or more away in a split second. Amazing to watch but creepy as hell initially.

Glad you're out there getting connected to the bigger picture, good luck with the investigations.

A long range fpv done would be useful to check out these anomalies as they happen.

I hope to get more advanced night vision and get the Mupas sensors set up and go back! That was a great time

Hi guys, well, I hate to be a killjoy, but the light here is simply the star Arcturus setting at a very shallow angle.
I've been in Hessdalen > 17 times, i know what i'm talking about.

😮what has happened to the "Ghost Rocket" submerged in lake in Norway????

Great Chris. Glad you saw it and can share it! Thanks for doing so. Your objective pilot's-eye perspective and rational viewpoint sets you apart from (and in my mind, above) other investigators. Hopefully the Hessdalen team can pursue their idea of a quick-response drone to scramble and move towards such lights to obtain better position and footage

[carlospar]

Chris. I encountered something very similar last September in England. I managed to capture some footage and sent it to mufon for analysis. They can't tell me what it is. I'm happy to share with you. Keep up the great work!

Ce5 does work . I thought Greer was out of his mind, but I gave it a fair chance over the course of a month and it worked repeatedly. Also the flashes are something I also see regularly, but mine are like a dim fluorescent light flicking on and off, almost like it's saying " hey we see you"

[starsandguitars]

Thanks Chris. I truly enjoy your channel and your inquisitive nature into the UAP phenomenon.

Welcome to the club my friend. I'm sure if you go out looking you'll find it. Some of us have seen so much it's a burden. No one would believe us unless they've seen it for themselves. it's a club, no doubt. To the outsider we're all crazy. To the insiders we have to know more. The club is growing!!!

[secretbassrigs]

congrats Chris! you finally witnessed a UAP! Welcome to the club 😎

[hazeljordan]

What an amazing experience. So pleased for you 🙂

[dominicseanmccann]

Would love to go to Hessdalen. Strange place. Beautiful as well. Lucky night out Chris, nice one. Mission accomplished indeed.

[MrVibrating]

You can view stuff like this on any clear night pretty much wherever you are, as far as i can tell.. no need to travel!

[AgadorSpartacus]

Chris I so admire your work. Quality! Thank you❤

[paulatreides]

Finally! Thank you for sharing your experience!

We did a project for our bachelor to make a software system for trying to catch the Hessdalen lights on camera. Erling Strand was our supervisor for the project. I actually thought we came up with a quite nice modular system for the task, but I think it just died when we left. I think a combination of us misinterpreting what Erling had in mind, and our inability to explain the flexibility of the project killed it. A big problem was how do you develop an algorithm for detecting something when you have no example of what to look for.

[sujadera]

Yes that flashes 💥... every time after CE-5 meditation.
Love from Suzana CE-5 ambassador from Croatia ❤!

What an awesome experience, you'll have to make this a regular thing as its clearly a hotspot. cheers Chris
