Rainer Haseitl

Computer Scientist - Dipl. Inf. (FH)Currently working at the particle accelerator GSI (GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH) in Darmstadt/Germany. Department: Beam Instrumentation, Data Acquisition & SoftwareMy goal is to collect high quality data of the phenomena and make it available for scientific investigation.

My work at Project Hessdalen:

In 2024 I installed two new cameras on the mast of the Blue Box to observe the sky. The cameras are recoding 24/7 in 4k resolution. All video files are "stacked" into images to detect possible anomalies. An explanation of the process and many examples of stacked videos can be found here:https://www.hessdalen.org/current-activities

Also in 2024 we distributed 30 data loggers to record the magnetic field in Hessdalen. Many witnesses report magnetic disturbances like compass offsets or drone problems. The grid of loggers recorded data for one week and was then retreived. Some loggers are still in operation at selected locations were anomalies have been reported.
