The Strange Hessdalen Lights Phenomenon

The presence of strange balls of light hovering over a valley in central Norway has puzzled scientists for years. The Hessdalen lights are unexplained nocturnal lights observed in a 12 km long Hessdalen valley in rural central Norway. It is well-known as the Hessdalen Phenomenon; the mysterious flashing orbs can be as large as cars and have even attracted attention from ufologists. Now these days scientists think the uncommon lights could be shaped by a natural “battery” buried deep underground, formed by metallic minerals reacting with a sulphurous river running through it.

Well, The Hessdalen lights appear at night, and seem to float through and above the valley. They’re generally bright white, yellow, or red and can appear above and below the horizon. The phenomenon duration may be from few seconds to longer than an hour. Although, many times the lights move with massive speed, and at other times, seem to slowly sway back and forth. On yet other occasions they hovering mid‑air. Some hypothesise that the light is ionized iron dust. The first time this strange light reported in 1930’s, and frequently seen between 1981 till mid-1984, being observed 15 to 20 times per week. Such, phenomenon highly attracted overnight tourists. Since 1983, several projects have been initiated to investigate the Hessdalen lights, but yet to conclude any confirm results. A recent report says that some of the lights drift gently through the sky for up to two hours, while others flash white or blue and streak through the valley, disappearing in seconds. Jader Monari of the Institute of Radio Astronomy in Medicina, Italy, has studied the Hessdalen site since 1996 and found that rocks in the valley are rich in zinc and iron on one side of the river running through it, and rich in copper on the other side. If there’s sulphur in the water in the middle, it makes a perfect battery.

Many experts believe the lights are a type of ball lightning because similar type of balls of light spotted and analyzed in China showed they were formed of silicon, iron and calcium which are present in the Hessdalen lights, along with the addition of an element called scandium. However, the Hessdalen lights do not appear when there is lightning. Perhaps the valley’s shape, climate and geology create a massive electric charge and that static electricity on the mountains was whipped up by strong winds. Therefore, some experts think some sort of plasma causes the light as when a gas ionizes it forms a cloud of ions and electrons plasma that create light. Thus, Plasmas can be cool to touch and can also kill microbes, but they require extremely high temperatures and an enormous supply of energy to be produced. So far there are several other competing theories as to how the light may be created, though the battery theory seems to be the most likely based upon current evidence. 

Tiger and Goat, Connect as Fast Friends Even Given to Him as Live Food

Well, this is really an interesting heart touching story between Amur the tiger and Timur the goat (who was initially meant to be Amur's live food) became fast friends in late November 2015 and in spite of what a lot of predicted the two are still good-naturedly living together. Therefore, at Russia's Far East Safari Park, the rare duo spend their time playing with one another as they relish a game of hide-and-seek, hunt together, or butt heads for fun. 

However, astonishingly, they remained fast friends after Timur (goat) evicted Amur (Tiger) from his shelter during a rainstorm. Though, under all circumstances, this duo has stuck together and even as Amur continues to display his predatory instinct. We still feed Amur live prey twice a week, but we don't give him goats anymore out of respect for Timur," zoo director Dmitry Mezentsev told BBC.

At the moment, the question is: what's stopping Amur from eating the goat that was meant to be his dinner? However, according to the tiger's caretakers, it all has to do with Timur's courage. From the time when the goat wasn't taught to be afraid of tigers, he didn't show spineless behavior when he was put in Amur's cage. Therefore, the tiger was tangled and gave up.  Thus, it happened once before, another goat pushed back and the tiger decided not to eat him, but once he showed weakness that was it his predator killed him. The situation now not the same and the animals are fast friends.

Moreover, to determine this extraordinary relationship, the Far East Safari Park plans to install as much as 16 cameras for a live stream. Since, the filmmakers “Eleonora Lyubimova” and “Sooyong Park” are also captivated by the tiger and goat's relationship, which is why they have filmed documentaries featuring the two great creatures. However, based on the coverage Amur and Timur have received thus far, it seems as though they have become a worldwide symbol for finding accord despite differences.

Germany Opens Bicycle Superhighway

Germany is taking its well-known Autobahn to an entire new level by making one for cyclists and put its pedals where its mouth is and opened its first bicycle-only highway, a three-mile stretch of protected roadway that is closed to cars and other motor vehicles. They are on the way to build a 100km long super highway for bicycles only, and bike-lovers can already cycle the first five kilometers. Therefore, the highway will eventually connect 10 western cities including Duisburg, Bochum and Hamm. 

Moreover it will be built along abandoned railroad tracks in Ruhr industrial region. According to Martin Toennes of regional development group RVR, about 2 million people living in the area will be able to travel on this route, which should result in 50,000 cars less on the roads every day. Europe’s first bicycle highway was well approved in London earlier this year, and others are in the works in the Holland and Denmark.

Bricklayer Transforms Ordinary Stone into Hypnotically Detailed Sculptures

UK based artist Johnny Clasper’s hypnotic free-form stonework is a swirling sight that garners its fair share of attention and exactly so. The stonemason's fervor for his craft is obvious in every detailed design. Therefore, from dry stone sculptures to pebble mosaics and stone balancing acts, Clasper has ability for transforming the ordinary material into works of art. Moreover, the talented artist credits his upward trajectory on a zeal for stone that carries him in several diverse directions. Though, he admits, “I refuse any boundaries to my work and I remain fervent about the work I do.”

Johnny Clasper has years of know-how in the industry. However in that past, he went to college to study bricklaying and establish a niche in the practical, hands-on subject. What has permitted him to advance from easy bricklayer to established stonemason however is an inventive outlook and skill to transform ordinary stones into charming mosaics? Therefore, with pieces beginning to be exhibited within his home country, Clasper still takes commission enquiries regarding stone laying work and sculptures through his website.

A Mysterious 800-year-old mobile phone was left behind by ALIENS in Austria

 According to latest absurd claims of conspiracy theorists says, an ‘800-year-old mobile phone’ was left behind by ALIENS in Austria. It seems very strange claims that archaeologists have discovered an 800-year-old mobile phone have sent conspiracy forums into overdrive.  The bizarre object allegedly is thought to be a clay model of a mobile phone with cuneiform writing engraved on the keys. However the insufficient information on the dig, and the objects resemblance to a Nokia mobile phone, has led various people to brand it an “elaborate hoax”.

Therefore, some UFO hunters who are making outlandish claims that this is proof aliens once visited Earth, or that it could prove that time travel does exist. According to reports, during archaeological excavations at Fuschl am See, in Salzburg, Austria, explorer discover a strange artefact from the thirteenth century with cuneiform writing that strangely resembles a cell phone. Because, such type of writing is usually found in modern-day Iran or Iraq ancient Mesopotamia. Thus, what a device like this with Cuneiform writing is doing in Austria is amazing that no one is able to fully understand or explain. Moreover, the information about this “sensational” discovery is limited. Therefore, no one knows about this strange object or even explains it, perhaps it is real or not but it is confirmed that this has caught huge attention.  

Hence, the inadequate information online, and the fact that any object with ancient cuneiform script could end up in Austria, has caused hardened conspiracy theorists to doubt the discovery. However, Conspiracy theorists say that there have been more than a few discoveries of out-of-place archaeological artifacts that challenge history. Scott Waring, editor of UFO Sighting Daily, however, is convinced this is evidence of aliens visiting ancient civilizations on Earth. No doubt it is evident from this cell phone like gadget that someone with an advanced knowledge of the future created it. The language is said to go back tens of thousands of year indeed very cool discovery.

Moreover, Edgar Mitchell the sixth man to walk on the moon says high-ranking military sources witness alien ships hovering during weapons tests. The UFOs were seen during the world's first nuclear weapons test which took place on July 16, 1945 in the desolate White Sands deserts of New Mexico. Thus, he claimed our technology is not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and 'had they been hostile, he warned we would be been gone by now.

 

Hampton Court Palace

In 2003, Hampton Court Palace security staff were called to close one particular fire door near the palace's Clock Court, but instead caught on CCTV was a ghostly figure closing it instead. It has been nicknamed 'Skeletor'. When security staff got to the door it was already shut, with nobody seeing anybody around. The palace has had many previous ghost sightings prior to and after this incident.

Magnificent Photo Shots Captures Man Flinging a Thermos of Hot Tea in Subzero Temperatures

Well, taking full advantage of the plummeting winter temperatures and armed with a thermos of hot tea, Michael Davies whose Ontario-based photographer and his friend Markus set out to depict some majestic photographs. Therefore, pair decide to trekking to the top of a mountain situated about 20 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, the pair started throwing the leftover hot water into the air (which was a chilling -40°C) and snapping the liquid as it promptly froze before it even had a chance to hit the ground.

The photographs were taken fairly close to “Pangnirtung”, a community where Michael Davies has worked as a photographer for the past 10 years. Moreover the winter season in this remote northern town is extremely cold and dark, frequently with only a few hours of sunlight between sunrise and sunset. The spectacular photo shots were well planned, as Michel Davies tracked the temperature and took into account the angles, lighting, wind direction and speed in order to capture the superb photograph.
