About this listen

💡 What if the lights in the sky aren’t stars… but something watching you back?

This week on Weird Science & Wonders, Kristin & Seleena travel to a secluded valley in Norway where strange lights have baffled scientists and locals for over 50 years.

The Hessdalen Lights flicker, dance, and hover with no clear cause — witnessed by hikers, filmed by scientists, and feared by those who see them too closely.

Are they natural electrical discharges? A “natural battery” beneath the soil? Or is it… something else entirely?

⚡ Plus: a game of “Explain the Unexplainable,” where you must invent logic for the illogical.

🎙️ File:007 – A Matter of Light is now open.


In This Episode:

· The 1972 sighting that sparked decades of scientific and paranormal interest

· How the Hessdalen Lights behave — glowing, pulsing, hovering, flashing

· The Natural Battery Theory, Tectonic Strain, and Ball Lightning hypotheses

· Alien theories, eye-witness reports, and a glowing orb that lit up a mountainside

· Kristin’s brain slowly melts from science overload

· Game Time: “Explain the Unexplainable” – you get the weird, you make it make sense
