See what would settle it. ## Where it stands Three answers have been proposed. None is ahead on the evidence yet. Three are still possible. ## Why it matters The 2024 survey argues that the near-surface structure explains why the lights occur in this valley⁠[[1]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0D0NDC5A579W/contribution-of-vlf-electromagnetic-survey-to-the); that is testable with the geocoded reports and the station's detections⁠[[2]](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0D0NDDM62S6K/hessdalen-database-analysis). ## Answers 3 [**None of these.** ](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/hessdalen-lights/answers/ANS0D0NDZPA7SGX/none-of-these) Not tested enough to call either way Evidence: none yet Still possible [**The lights cluster over or along the conductive zones and the gabbro ellipse.** ](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/hessdalen-lights/answers/ANS0D0NDYQ25CBM/the-lights-cluster-over-or-along-the-conductive-zones-and) Not tested enough to call either way Evidence: 1 for Still possible [**The location of the lights is unrelated to the conductive zones.** ](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/hessdalen-lights/answers/ANS0D0NDZ6P1FJ2/the-location-of-the-lights-is-unrelated-to-the-conductive) Not tested enough to call either way Evidence: 1 for Still possible ## History 1. 2024[Vargemezis et al. puts forward: the lights cluster over or along the conductive zones and the gabbro ellipse.](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0D0NDC5A579W/contribution-of-vlf-electromagnetic-survey-to-the) 1. 2024[Vargemezis et al.: conductive zones were mapped over about 100 km² and outline a 6 × 12 km ellipse.](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0D0NDC5A579W/contribution-of-vlf-electromagnetic-survey-to-the)For: The lights cluster over or along the conductive zones and the gabbro ellipse. 1. 2026[Teodorani puts forward: the location of the lights is unrelated to the conductive zones.](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0D0NDCMY7GSG/on-the-natural-battery-hypothesis-for-the-hessdalen-lights-a) 1. 2026[Teodorani: no quantitative mechanism links sub-volt geobattery potentials to luminous discharges.](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC0D0NDCMY7GSG/on-the-natural-battery-hypothesis-for-the-hessdalen-lights-a)For: The location of the lights is unrelated to the conductive zones. 1. 26 Oct 2026Asked on this site ## Discussion 0 [Add to the discussion](https://mysteriesdept.com/signin?next=/mysteries/hessdalen-lights/questions/QST0D0NDNXT125M/do-the-valleys-conductive-sulphide-zones-explain-where-the%23discussion) Help with this question [ **Propose an answer** Something the evidence could support or rule out ] [ **Propose an answer** Something the evidence could support or rule out ](https://mysteriesdept.com/signin?next=/mysteries/hessdalen-lights/questions/QST0D0NDNXT125M/do-the-valleys-conductive-sulphide-zones-explain-where-the%23add-answer) [ **Add evidence** A result for or against an answer ] [ **Add evidence** A result for or against an answer ](https://mysteriesdept.com/signin?next=/mysteries/hessdalen-lights/questions/QST0D0NDNXT125M/do-the-valleys-conductive-sulphide-zones-explain-where-the%23add-evidence) [ **Ask a sub-question** A smaller question that would help settle this one ] [ **Ask a sub-question** A smaller question that would help settle this one ](https://mysteriesdept.com/signin?next=/mysteries/hessdalen-lights/questions/QST0D0NDNXT125M/do-the-valleys-conductive-sulphide-zones-explain-where-the%23add-question) [ **Add a source** A paper, archive record or image ] [ **Add a source** A paper, archive record or image ](https://mysteriesdept.com/signin?next=/mysteries/hessdalen-lights/questions/QST0D0NDNXT125M/do-the-valleys-conductive-sulphide-zones-explain-where-the%23add-source) Where it fits Hessdalen lights [**If some lights are a natural phenomenon, what produces them?** ](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/hessdalen-lights/questions/QST0D0NDNP02RD8/if-some-lights-are-a-natural-phenomenon-what-produces-them)Key question · 7 answers, inconclusive **Do the valley's conductive sulphide zones explain where the lights appear?** You're here · 3 answers, inconclusive [ Ask a question under this one ]
