Hang on. Might have something here.
I can't tell if that's a stream.
At the top of it, it just disappears.
Hang on, hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
- [bleep]-- it just crashed! - [Heather gasps]
[Josh] On this episode of "Expedition X"...
- Whoa! - [screaming]
...my team continues their astonishing investigation
into reportedly the most active UFO hotspot anywhere on
our planet, Norway's Hessdalen Valley.
- [Phil] Oh, my God! - [Josh] They search the skies,
documenting more bizarre phenomena.
Holy [bleep]! Look, look, look! Look at that!
[Josh] But also discover that what's up
may have come down, visiting us on Earth.
- Phil! - [Phil] What?
Holy [bleep]. What is that?
[Josh] As my team tries to make first contact
with the Arctic UFOs. - [Phil] My God!
[Josh] So far, it's been a fascinating, frigid expedition
into Norway's Hessdalen Valley
in search of its famous aerial light phenomena.
[Heather] Who here has seen the lights?
[Josh] After hearing from dozens of witnesses...
There is something that interacts with people.
...Phil and Heather trekked across the tundra
to spend the night at a remote scientific research station...
[Heather] We made it!
[Josh] ...where they both saw the eerie lights with their own eyes.
[bleep]-- look at that!
Wait, I see two.
[Heather] Holy [bleep]!
[Josh] But Hessdalen's alien activity isn't just in the skies above,
it could also be under the ice below.
After seeing intriguing sonar scans of an alleged sunken UFO
in a local lake, Phil and Heather had to get out
on the ice themselves... - [Phil] X marks the spot.
...and cut it open. - [chainsaw whirring]
[grunting]
[Josh] Spotting a mysterious mass with the ROV.
- Holy [bleep], what is that? - [Phil] Look at that!
Look at the shape, it's almost triangular.
[Josh] Phil dove into the nearly sub-zero water to collect
a sample that could be truly out of this world.
[Phil speaking]
[Heather] You got a hit?
Phil, come in.
Can you hear me?
Looks like he's surfacing.
[Phil] Whew! Oh my God.
The deeper I got, the regulator just couldn't
handle the temperature.
And I'm telling you, there's something down there.
Something metallic, potentially man-made
down there, and it is massive.
I cannot wait to see what the sub-bottom profiler tells us!
- [Heather] It's incredible! - We gotta call Josh.
Let's get you warmed up and call.
OK.
[Heather] We get Phil warmed up and call Gates to tell him about
our remarkable discovery. - [Josh] Oh, hey, guys.
Good to see you working hard out there--
nice mugs. - Hey.
Hey, wait a second.
Phil just dove underneath the ice and almost died from
a frozen regulator. - Yeah, Josh.
Fair enough. What'd you find down there?
I'm fine, by the way. Thanks for asking.
But listen.
You are not gonna believe what we found on the dive.
We had a state-of-the-art sonar.
And while it's gonna take a few more days to analyze
all the data, let me send you what we got so far.
- Take a look at that. - [Josh] What is that?
What am I looking at here?
It looks like something with a wing.
And the sonar even confirmed that it is denser than anything
else around it.
Not only that, but before my dive gear went all haywire
down there, my metal detector was going nuts.
It appears that there's something massive and metallic
right where our witness said a UFO crashed into the lake.
Million-dollar question is, who flew this thing here?
That is astonishing.
It looks like you might have something huge there.
We've got to get that data analyzed ASAP.
In the meantime, I have some potential alien news
to tell as well.
A new witness who has quite a story to tell.
I don't want to spoil it, but suffice it to say,
it is out of this world.
OK, I think we've got to meet with this guy first thing.
Yeah, where and if this puzzle piece fits, I don't know,
but I've arranged for you to meet with him tomorrow.
I will send you the details.
You guys all good out there otherwise?
No.
Phil won't let me build a snowman.
What? Come on, Phil.
Let Heather live her frozen fantasy.
[gasps] Yes!
- Santa says, "No." - Rudolph says, "Yes!"
The next day, Phil and I meet Gates' contact at a cabin
not far from the lake we investigated.
[Phil] This will be our guy.
- [Phil] Hey, Helge. - [Helge] Hey.
- Hey, hey. - [Phil] Hi.
- Nice to meet you. - [Helge] Nice to meet you.
- [Heather] Hey. - [Helge] Nice to meet you.
[Heather] Helge Ottera is a frequent visitor to Hessdalen and says
he's seen the mysterious lights many times.
So I understand you have quite a tale for us.
[Phil] OK.
- What? - [Helge speaking]
Hang on, creatures?
[Helge speaking]
[Heather] Wait, were they running upright?
You're calling these things creatures?
And you are certain when you use that word, "creature,"
they were not human, they were not wildlife?
What, did you think that they were aliens?
So tell us every little detail you can remember of what
they look like.
Were they wearing clothes?
How big were these things?
OK, so this tall?
[Phil] This tall?
OK, that's huge.
I would have been absolutely terrified!
And if what happened to you happened right here,
this is a good place for us to get answers.
All right.
All right, well, thank you so much, Helge,
for sharing your story.
- [Helge] Thank you. - [Heather] Thank you so much.
[Phil] Helge's eyebrow-raising story
is the first we've heard that directly associates
the Hessdalen lights with alien creatures.
To dig more into his astonishing claim,
we start our night's investigation
on his cabin property.
[footsteps crunching]
Here we are.
Scene of the crime.
So, all right, listen.
I believe him that he saw something, I believe him he saw
creatures, I just don't think they're alien creatures.
My guess is, I mean, think of what else is this tall
that walks around with long, skinny legs?
- Moose. - [Phil] Yes.
OK, but I'll remind you that what he says he saw
was bipedal, long arms, long legs, and an oval head.
Yeah, but remember, this guy came here looking
for the light.
With that kind of mindset, your brain can literally tell
you that you are seeing aliens.
We went to the White Box, and what did we see?
Saw some lights in the sky.
And when we went to the lake, what did we find?
Something unusual at the bottom of the lake.
Exactly.
So, Hessdalen Valley has a really good track record.
I'll give you that.
And listen, I'm optimistic
we could find something tonight.
I'm just not so sure it's gonna be aliens.
I mean, we are in the Norwegian wilderness, and there,
look, tracks, tracks right there!
Oh, all right.
[Phil] Look right here.
Look at these.
That is a hoofed creature. Look.
Look at that.
These could be reindeer, probably.
Look at that, there are tracks all over this place.
This is an incredibly active field.
So here's what I'm thinking. Let's get us some camera traps.
Let's get these trees on this side, some trees on the other
side, and at least have some surveillance in place.
[Heather] All right, that's a good plan.
There we go.
- [Phil] Camera trap set? - Set.
All right. I got an idea.
- Wait right here. - OK.
So if you're walking around at night, you might
have a flashlight. Also, it's a road.
There could be snowmobiles. There could be cars going by.
Take a look at the field...
at my shadows I'm creating. - [Heather] Yeah?
[Phil] They're moving pretty quickly.
Some of them are tall, skinny, moving in pairs.
[Heather] OK, I mean, if they're moving quickly, but that looks
like a dozen creatures, not just two.
[Phil] OK, but you can imagine there'd be a scenario where
there was a moving light--
heck, even called a Hessdalen light,
that cast a shadow across four trees that looked
like two sets of long legs walking across the road.
[Heather] Yeah, but I don't think someone that lives out here
is gonna make that mistake.
- OK, but... - Phil Torres,
you're gonna be real surprised when you see an alien tonight.
Hey, I hope so.
Let's head into Hessdalen Valley.
[Heather] All right.
[Phil] We leave the trail cameras running in the area Helge saw
the supposed alien creatures and make our way down to
the river, where he says he saw the light phenomenon earlier
that same night.
You can already hear the river.
Wow, it is creepy in here.
Visibility is maybe 20, 30 feet, so we have no idea...
what could be right in front of us.
We're trying to be stealthy, so whatever's out here,
it won't hear us coming.
- [Phil] There's the river. - [Heather] OK.
[Phil] Whoa.
[Heather] Oh [bleep]. [grunting]
[grunting]
- Oh, Heather, you good? - [Heather] Oh, no!
[Phil] Oh.
Oh. Heather, you OK?
Look at me. You good?
Yeah, just give me a minute. Just give me a minute.
Let's just call that a shortcut.
[Heather] It's one word for it. Let's keep moving.
[Phil] Wow!
Look at that.
[Heather] Hey, look, ice.
You want to take another plunge?
[Phil] You know, I think I've had enough of swimming
under the ice for a little while. - [Heather] But...
OK.
Around here must be where Helge saw the light.
So, now that we're in the heart of Hessdalen Valley,
we should get out a thermal drone.
An aerial view might make it a little bit easier to get eyes
on what's out here.
Yeah, maybe we'll see some creatures.
Question is, do aliens show up hot or cold?
Let's find out.
[Heather] While Phil preps the thermal drone,
I calibrate the EMF meter,
which measures changes in the electromagnetic field.
We've got a good baseline reading.
When we were at the White Box, during our first night in
Hessdalen, we got an EMF spike in the control room.
EMF is spiking. We're at 104 right now.
Which seemed to coincide with the Hessdalen light showing up.
Hopefully, it'll give us a heads-up
if any activity returns.
[Phil] That is weird. I've never seen that before.
Gotta check this out. Look.
Magnetic field interference. Fly with caution.
- There's something in the air. - Something weird here.
- OK, Let's see what's out there. - [Heather] All right.
[drone propellers humming]
We are holding steady on the EMF detector.
What are you seeing?
[Phil] Well, water looks warmer than the ice.
So I'm trying to see if there's any heat
showing up on land.
Whoa, getting some kind of interference right here!
- Look at that! - [Heather] What is that?
That is so bizarre! Look!
- [Heather] Huh. - [Phil] Looks like it just totally recalibrated,
So something's already interfering with the drone?
Potentially-- I've never seen a thermal act up like that.
So this is the entire river basin here.
So far... the forest looks cold.
I'm still normal in our EMF, so no spikes.
[Phil] Hang on, might have something here.
So, check this out. This is really weird.
- So, the river over here, right? - [Heather] Yeah.
[Phil] Follow that up, and you get this.
Now, I can't tell if that's a stream, but it just kind of
comes out of nowhere. But then...
at the top of it, it just disappears.
And it just ends. Like, "What is that spot right there?"
[electronic pinging]
Oh, I just had a spike.
I got a 6.1 spike on this.
- What? - Yes!
[Phil] Hang on, hang on! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Oh [bleep].
- Oh, it just crashed! - [Heather gasps]
[Phil] Oh, I was--
I did not fly into a tree.
I was at 80 feet, well above tree level here.
And what? What happened?
I have no idea.
Look, it still says magnetic interference.
We flied right over where that stream ended,
and it got pulled straight down!
Can you locate it on the drone controller?
Let me see.
So, it's last known location, 523 feet in that direction.
- [Heather] OK, let's get over there. - [Phil] All right, let's do it
Where did it go?
It should be right around here.
- This must be the stream I was seeing on the drone. - [Heather] Yeah.
[Phil] You stay left. I'll go right.
- [Heather] Here it is. - [Phil] You got it?
[Heather] It's right here. It's in the creek.
[Phil] Wow!
What are the chances that this thing got pulled straight down
into this creek?
[Heather] I mean, I'd say zero, but it happened.
- Oh, absolutely-- - Phil!
- [Phil] What? - Look at that!
[Phil] Holy [bleep]! What is that?
[Heather] No [bleep] way!
[Phil] What?
Oh my God, look how far back it goes.
Ooh, listen to that echo.
Hello? [echoing]
[Heather] Oh my God.
This must be one of the old mines.
It feels like something drew us here.
This potentially could be one of the reasons
for the magnetic interference I was getting.
You know, when I met with Dr. Anna-Lena
from the White Box, she told me that this river is
potentially part of that big chemical reaction that makes this thing a battery.
We got iron on one side, we got copper on the other,
and then it's sulfur
that leaches through the water in here.
Those elements could be creating the lights in the sky.
It could explain everything.
A lot of people say that these beings are in Hessdalen Valley
for rare elements.
In there is where the resources are, and in there is where
you should go. - Sorry, what?
Look, you were driving the drone, and admit it,
Phil, you love this stuff. - Oh, I do love this stuff.
Get in there. I'll hold your backpack.
Oh, this is gonna be wet. This is gonna be cold.
[Heather] You need to be careful in there.
We've had enough of you almost getting hypothermia.
[Phil] Yeah, OK. Let's see if anyone's home.
[Phil speaking]
Yeah.
All right, Heather, I'm through.
What do you see?
It just keeps going.
Oh, my God!
Nothing on the EMFs. All normal.
When was the last time someone was in here?
These old boards.
Old mining equipment all over the place.
If you're looking for access to resources in the Earth here,
this is your spot.
- Heather? - Yeah?
[Phil] It is pretty crazy back here.
What's it look like?
It looks like a mine that just goes straight
into the mountain.
I mean, if there's any elements that are in this earth
interacting with the atmosphere,
I mean, this is the way through.
Either through the air, through the water, you name it.
But it goes deep.
Could this be why your drone went down?
I don't know about that.
But I mean, I will admit, it is awfully suspicious for that
drone to fall right at the mouth of this mine.
I don't think I can go any deeper without a helmet on.
- All right. - [Heather] You OK?
Yeah, I'm good.
That was wild.
You know, I'll admit, it is kind of crazy that we were
seemingly led right here. - Yeah.
To me, this could be the explanation.
This could be the geophysical reason why all of these lights
are showing up in the sky.
This just leaves us with more questions than answers.
- [Phil] Yeah. - [Heather] How are your feet?
Icicles. Let's get going.
- [Heather] Yeah, let's go. - [Phil] Yeah.
The next day, Heather and I split up to gather more
insights from those who have seen the Hessdalen lights.
I reconnect with Mathias Tommervold,
who we met at our town hall.
- Hey, good morning. - Hey, good morning.
[Phil] 9:30 AM, and it's still pitch black out.
- [Mathias] Oh, welcome to Norway. - [Phil] Yeah.
All right. Hey, good to see you again.
Good to see you. Let's get you inside and get you warm.
[Phil] Let's do it.
Mathias is an anthropologist who raises huskies on the side
for a local dog sled team.
So, Mathias, we heard a bit of your story at the town hall.
I would love to get more details because we've been here
for a few days, and I gotta say, it seems like there's
something strange going on here.
So tell me, what were you doing in Hessdalen Valley?
OK.
Describe it.
Mm-hmm.
Both of these lights originated from
essentially the same place?
Where is that?
[Heather] While Phil is getting a local's point of view,
I'm gonna explore other methods for finding
the Hessdalen lights.
So I hop on a call with Carl Andreasen,
who has a very interesting communication theory.
Carl is an American UFO researcher who recently
recorded a light in the sky
above Hessdalen that kept getting closer.
And shockingly, he believes he was able to talk with it.
Carl, thank you so much for jumping on with me.
I got to say, your video was incredible.
It was totally shocking.
The first night that I was there at Hessdalen,
we decided to stay up to look at the northern lights.
And we did an experiment with this meditation.
And sure enough, right after we did that, this bright light
appeared in the sky and then came down by the lake.
[Heather] Wait a second. Meditation?
Explain how that works.
Every single abduction story that I have ever read about
has involved telepathic communication.
And so that is a critical part of my work and research
and what I do when I go to these places to try and see if
there's something to that.
If you can use it like chumming for sharks or bird calling in
a similar way, but do it through a form of telepathy,
I'm very experimental and open-minded with that,
and it's successful.
Can you come here to us?
Whoa, look at it getting bigger, bigger, bigger!
Whoa! Hello, hello, hello!
So, I come from a paranormal background.
I do a lot of call-and-response sessions,
so I'm wondering if I can get into this meditative state
and stay positive and open to communication that I can
potentially treat it kind of similar to a normal
call-and-response session, where I can ask questions
and see if I can get a response.
It's very similar to that.
One of the things that I've found that's a subtle trick
to how this seems to work,
making sure that your intentions inside
are not hoping, or wanting, or asking for too much.
There's something about letting go, and just trusting,
and being happy, and being in a good mood
that somehow is more inviting.
We just have to keep an open mind.
OK, so number one, find the right location.
Number two, meditate.
And number three, stay calm and positive the whole time
that I'm interacting, and that'll give me the best
chance to experience these lights again.
And remember to hit record and get it on camera,
and you'll get the proof that you're looking for.
I cannot explain what that is.
So you're an anthropologist.
You're a man of science.
What do you think these lights are?
Some people might say that could be the lights
communicating with you through your dreams.
For us, what do you think our method should be to get
eyes on it again?
Where do you think we should focus our efforts?
- The North side of the lake? - [Mathias] Yes.
How do you get out there?
[dogs barking]
[Phil] Good job, doggies!
So after talking to Mathias, I figured the best place for us
to investigate is the origin of the lights.
He saw them come from the far side of the lake, so that's
where we're going.
Dog sledding is known to be much more reliable than
snowmobiles over long distances
in deep snow conditions like this.
So Mathias kindly hooked us up with a pack of
his fastest huskies.
Reaching speeds of 25 miles an hour...
- [Heather] I could get used to this. - [Phil] Oh, yeah.
...we should be at the site
where Mathias had his encounter in no time.
- [indistinct] - [laughing]
Whoa! Oh...
not a lot of shocks on a sleigh.
Big right!
[dogs barking]
- Oh [bleep]! - [screaming]
- [Heather] Whoa! - Didn't break.
[laughing]
- [Heather] That was a close one. - [Phil] Yeah.
- Whoa! - Whoa!
[Phil] If we can manage to stay upright, these dogs will
take us to the northern shore of Lake Djupsjoen,
where I dove earlier.
That's where Mathias believes the lights he saw originated.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Think that's our spot.
- Right through here. - [Heather] All right.
[Phil] All right, hand me the anchor.
OK, anchors in, should hold.
All right.
Grab the gear, and I'll give the dogs their treats.
Good dogs. Nice.
[Phil] Dinner's served.
[Heather] Let's head in.
These types of dogs are well adapted
to the coldest of temperatures.
They have a robust, thick, and weather-resistant coat.
After a good workout like they just had, they'll happily
stay put for hours
while we investigate Mathias's sighting.
Whew! This looks perfect.
According to Mathias, the lights he saw essentially
originated from right where we are right now.
[Heather] OK, so set up camp here.
[Phil] Set up camp here.
Wait, why do we need a shovel? Where's the tent?
Oh, we're building a snow fort, Heather.
Why is everything so hard with you?
Start digging.
- It's gonna take a while. - Hm.
[Phil] There's no telling when or if a mystery light will show up.
So, to prepare for a long night's stay
by the frozen lake,
we're going to use all this snow to our advantage
and build a shelter.
All right.
We need to find some sticks about a foot long.
All right. You got those sticks?
Yeah, what are they for? Snowmen?
[Phil] Not exactly.
So, this type of snow fort is called a quinzhee.
And you see how all these sticks are about the same
length, about one foot? - Yeah.
That is how thick we want the exterior wall.
So, you stab it, facing towards the inside, like so.
Perfect.
And when we hollow it out, once you see the end of
the stick, you know you stop, and you have
your one-foot exterior wall that will keep us nice and warm.
[Heather] Whoa, whoa, whoa, Phil!
[Phil] What?
[Heather] Something just shot across the sky!
[Phil] What?
- [Heather] Like, big. - [Phil] Are you kidding me?
Like a high-beamed flashlight.
Just the edge of it, like a spotlight,
just went across. - [Phil] Oh, my God!
- Did you just see a light? - Picked a great spot.
Holy [bleep]-- OK.
I'm gonna keep digging this out.
I'm gonna keep eyes on the sky.
And then let's set up our gear because that is a good sign.
- We're already seeing lights. - [Heather] Yeah.
OK.
So there are a few details to pay attention to
when building this kind of a snow fort.
One thing, you want it to be domed like this so that as
the snow melts, because it warms up in here, it doesn't
drip on you, but it trickles down the sides a little bit.
Secondly, you want the entry and exit point to be at
the lowest point so that all the cold air goes down there
and the warm air stays up here.
When we deployed the DAP camera
at the White Box Observatory,
it worked out well for us. - [Heather] Look at this!
Holy [bleep].
[Phil] So it'll monitor the skies for us again tonight.
So this here is the DAP cam,
which stands for data acquisition project.
It uses AI to track and identify anything flying
around in the night sky.
And tonight, hopefully that includes the Hessdalen lights.
Let's take a look at the DAP cam.
It is up and running.
[Heather] All right, I've got a couple of ideas.
You know how people say that the Hessdalen phenomenon
can mimic the lights that are on the ground?
Yeah.
It was flashing, but it doubled
the flashing frequency.
You think it mimicked your light?
Some kind of interaction.
I think we need to try it.
What if this form of mimicry is some type of communication?
- To see lights, I brought lights. - OK.
You ever seen "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"?
OK.
- I know you're skeptical. - Yep.
That's why I brought some science for you.
So my witness, Carl, believed he communicated with these
lights, but he did it when he was in a meditative state.
I brought a biometric sensor so you can keep track of the state
of my mind.
You sure you want the world to see that?
Shut it, Torres.
- OK, so I will shine lights in the sky, - Mm-hmm.
keep track of your brain, and I'll keep my eyes peeled
to see if you bring out the lights. - Yeah, why not?
We gotta try all the angles here, and Phil, I already saw
a light in the sky. It's dark--
it's go time. - Let's get it.
[Heather] As we start our experimental sky watch,
I find a quiet spot by the lake
where I can try a meditative call-and-response session,
similar to the method Carl Andreasen described.
A biometric headband will send my vitals over to Phil
so he can track my brain activity.
Meanwhile, Phil will be sending powerful LED signals to
whatever may be creating the Hessdalen lights.
No one here has ever attempted
a light experiment of this scale.
These lights are bright enough that anything flying within
a couple miles of here should be able to see them.
I'm gonna cycle through a few different colors,
a few different patterns, and keep my eyes open.
All Right, Phil, I'm in position, and I'm about to
start meditating. - [Phil] Copy that.
I'm gonna get some light patterns going here,
and then I will keep an eye
on what's going on in that mind of yours.
Sounds good. Let me know if anything crazy happens.
If you're out there...
can you please appear?
[heavy exhale]
I think these lights are more than just a natural phenomenon.
Do you come here to get to the resources in the valley?
Well, so far, the only light I'm seeing in the sky
is the moonlight.
But now, according to Heather's biometric sensor,
she is in a deep meditative state.
It's tracked her progress throughout the night.
So it started active, slowly got to a more relaxed
state, and then took a dip. It went straight down to calm.
Are you from outer space?
Oh.
Oh, just saw a flash.
[Heather] I just saw a blue flashing light.
[Phil] Right up there! Really quick little flash.
Holy [bleep]. Look, look, look at that!
Look! Got the light.
Oh, my God
[bleep]
On December 9th, 2009, a strange light in the skies
above northern Norway terrified locals
and captivated the world.
Just before sunrise, an eerie beam of blue light
shot across the sky, quickly twisting into
a bizarre spiral.
Some even reported feeling a sudden wave of nausea
right before the spiral appeared.
The light pulsed ominously as it grew larger,
leading some to believe it was aliens making contact or maybe
an interdimensional portal in the sky.
The mystery was debated for over a decade, until the exact
same phenomenon occurred after military rockets
were test-fired over Hawaii and Alaska--
the spiraling caused by fuel vapor.
It's now seemingly certain that the Norway spiral was not
evidence of alien contact, but instead a rocket test,
likely a secret one conducted by Russia.
Explainable, but arguably no less terrifying.
[Phil] Heather, did you see it?
[Heather] Oh, my God, look at it!
[Phil] My God!
That's gotta be one of the lights.
That has gotta be one of the lights.
[Phil] Look at that light!
Holy [bleep]. It's still there.
Look! Look at that!
It is still moving.
That's not a star. God, it's pulsing a little bit.
And just lost it. Do you still see it?
No, it disappeared.
Let's meet at the DAP cam. See if it got tracked.
- Did it see it? - OK-- I don't know.
Let's find out.
- Oh, look! - [Heather gasps]
[Phil] Wow, it's tracking it! Look at that!
[Heather] Oh, my gosh!
Look, look, look, it changed direction.
[Phil] Just moved back left.
That is amazing.
That was below the cloud light.
That was not a satellite, not a star, not a plane.
- No, and it was blue. - And it was blue.
And your light was blue.
Oh, I didn't even think about that part.
So I think we have a case of real mimicry.
So I got to ask, when I would look at your biometric data,
it looked like you were very much in a meditative state.
What was going through your mind when the light showed up?
Look, I was just trying to stay as calm
and meditative as possible.
So I was seeing lights and acknowledging them,
but trying to make sure and not get too excited
so they wouldn't disappear. - Well, hey.
I don't know what the cause of seeing these lights is.
If it was your mind, or the blue lights, or,
as I believe, this mysterious scientific phenomenon known as
the Hessdalen effect. Regardless, that was amazing!
We have it on tape. We've seen it.
- I think we gotta stay at it. - Yeah, I agree.
OK.
Let me reset this to run
so that we can capture anything else tonight.
[Heather] This time, you change your light to red.
OK, you think we'll see a red light in the sky?
- Here's hoping. - All right, challenge accepted.
- All right. - Let's do it-- let's go!
[Josh] Heather and Phil continued to monitor the skies above
Hessdalen throughout the almost endless night.
Right there! It's like a quick...
pinprick flashbulb.
Can you come closer?
[Josh] In between shifts in their snow shelter,
and regular checking on the huskies,
their vigilance paid off,
catching another mysterious light streaking across the sky.
The DAP cam only records in black and white,
but according to Phil, the light had a distinct
reddish hue and didn't appear like any known craft.
Right up there, really quick little flash.
[Heather, yelling] Look at this!
[Josh] All told, Heather and Phil spotted
10 unexplained aerial lights during their investigation.
[Phil] Wait, I see two!
[Josh] And shockingly, there was even one more they didn't spot,
but was later discovered in our footage.
Phil believes the Hessdalen Valley's unique minerals are
motivating this phenomenon somehow.
But that's a long way from a scientific explanation.
Plus, minerals wouldn't explain the curious color mimicry that
they and others experienced.
Holy [bleep]! Look, look, look!
My God!
[Josh] Our remarkable evidence
didn't just come from high in the sky.
It also came from the watery depths.
Our ROV sub captured scans in Lake Djupsjoen, where a UFO was
widely reported to have crashed in 1947.
The images confirmed the extraordinary.
According to expert analysis,
there is indeed a massive metal object
down at the bottom of the lake, about the size
and shape of a school bus.
Even more remarkable, this is only the tip of the object.
It seemingly extends even deeper beyond the limits
of our scanner.
Could this really be the unthinkable?
A crashed alien spacecraft?
We plan to return to investigate further as soon as possible.
My team and I have hunted UFOs all around the globe.
[Phil] Isn't that wild?
[Josh] But with all of this extraordinary evidence,
we can confidently say there's nowhere as surprisingly
out of this world as the Hessdalen Valley.
And the valley had one last surprise for Phil.
I got my snowman.
What did you do to my snow fort?
Is that your brain monitor as a nose?
- Yes, it's his nose now. - You have gone insane out here.
Maybe.
