I am not sure what other possibilities you are speaking of?

I do a lot of photography, and I can assure everyone that the picture does not show a lens flare.
I can smear a camera lens wth some fine oil and get the same spectrum break up, or use thin plastic or even oil smeared glass or plastic placed between the camera and the subject, in the case of the OP, apparently the sun.

IOW, we have to rule these out first before we entertain other possibilities

Research in other areas of the world has hinted that this phenomena might be global and not something unique in the Hessdalen valley. However the mechanism creating these lights is still somewhat unknown.

Good for you. Everybody needs a hobby.

A smartphone will do that for you with monochromatic light (from Sodium lamps).
Given that there is lake down there, could it be some kind of gas? Will'o'the'wisp? Possibly a slow burning or ionized gas?

Earthlight researchers must be vigilant for artifact lights.

...an important source of artifact lights are commercial and private aircraft operating near observation sites.
Using simple commercially available navigation software, she identified a number of air traffic corridors, VOR navigational stations, and local airports. These included one corridor that I found particularly intriguing: a corridor 18° North from the Tolga VOR, proceeding directly up the Hessdalen valley, straight toward the Automated Measuring Station, from exactly the direction it's facing.
What I find curious is that you would be so reluctant to accept that it is quite plausible that they have done this kind of vetting of the data before going public and before taking their results to a congress. In stead you seem to think it is just at likely that they have not done even the most rudimentary examination in 2 years?

I think we can exclude an aircraft for this picture, at least, unless you know about an aircraft that is so fast it can be out of the cameras FOV in 5 seconds at most.
