This week the I am reading from Fred Andersson's book 'Northern Lights: High Strangeness in Sweden'. Northern Lights: High Strangeness in Sweden is the first book written in English entirely devoted to the subject of high strangeness, UFOs, and other mysteries in Sweden. While Sweden is known as a secular, rational country where stories of the paranormal are considered something of the past, the truth is quite the opposite.The country has a long history of weirdness, unexplained observations, and eerie encounters, often connected to the countryside, desolate roads, and empty fields. From gnomes, elves, and trolls of the past to UFOs and aliens in modern times. Perhaps they're all connected, just different perceptions of the same phenomenon?This book takes an in-depth look at a wide range of peculiar incidents recorded throughout Sweden's history, spanning from 1920 to 2013. It delves into a myriad of extraordinary encounters, diving into the mysterious realm of the unknown. Readers will embark on a journey exploring mesmerizing encounters with otherworldly beings, encounters with strange flying crafts, time rifts, men in black, and even a touch of cryptozoology. However, the primary emphasis of this captivating narrative remains on the gripping subjects of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings, examining their profound impact on both the personal experiences of witnesses and the rich tapestry of Swedish culture.BioFred Andersson is a renowned researcher, television freelancer, author, and podcaster in Sweden.
