The Hessdalen lights are unidentified lights which have been observed in a 12km long stretch of the Hessdalen valley in rural central Norway periodically since at least the 1930s.

During this time? Coincidence?

Looks a lot like the Marfa Lights, which are also unexplained.

Looks a lot like ball lighting except for the line of connection between them.

Why haven’t they just swarmed with drones every light appearing?
Place a drone every few feet, and as a light appears – just fly towards it at full speed, while sending back IR/4K/radar/lidar – whatever sensors you can fit on that drone.
Has it been done? From every story about these lights I’ve seen it seems like they just stood on some hill looking across very large distances.

Swamp gas from a weather balloon trapped in a thermal pocket reflected the light from Venus.

Swamp gas! Oh, wait… ball lightning! Um… how about this: you saw nothing if you know what’s good for you peasant.

So, does anyone actually have any idea what this is, for real?

It seems the last time they were observed was sometime in 1998, according to wikipedia. Also, a Google image search shows mostly the same picture, so not a lot of instances documented.
Kind of reminds me of the Brown mountain lights in TN, USA

There are metals in the underlying soils on both sides of the valley and under the right conditions cause a build up of electrical charge that results in the lights.
