Astrophysicist
Substantive astrophysics publication record and decades of mainstream science before pivoting to UAP. The Hessdalen work is published in peer-reviewed venues with reproducible methodology.
EMBLA Hessdalen missions
Led the 2000-2002 scientific instrumentation campaigns at the Hessdalen Valley, producing the first peer-reviewed spectroscopic and magnetometric data on a recurring UAP hotspot.
Hessdalen physical models
Proposed plasma-based and exotic-physics models to fit the observed Hessdalen light data; published in mainstream physics venues.

First major peer-reviewed analysis of the EMBLA data.
“The Hessdalen phenomenon is reproducible enough to be studied as ordinary physics; the question is whether ordinary physics is enough to explain it.”
