Yeah I remember this one. The detail about the missing four hours showing up on both his watch and the tractor's GPS log is what stuck with me - most accounts you can write off as subjective time distortion but having corroborating machine timestamps makes it harder to dismiss outright.
What bugs me most is the physical evidence component. The burn pattern on the field matched the dimensions he described in his initial report before MUFON even sent anyone out, which rules out the obvious "he made it up after seeing the investigators measure it" angle.
I'll admit the hypnotic regression stuff I take with a massive grain of salt, that methodology is genuinely unreliable and has been for decades, but the pre-regression elements of his account are solid enough that I keep coming back to it.
Has anyone cross-referenced the coordinates with the Hessdalen-style atmospheric phenomena database? I know thats a stretch geographically but the light descriptions in the initial report are worth comparing. Would love to hear if anyone has dug deeper into the physical trace evidence side specifically.
