Bizzare lights over Norway
 
Okay this is flat out strange.

Cant wait to hear from the experts on this one.

What's blue and white, squiggly and suddenly appears in the sky?

If you know the answer, pop it on a postcard and send it to the people of Norway, where this mysterious light display baffled residents yesterday.

Curiously, it appears to be unconnected with the aurora borealis, or northern lights, the natural magnetic phenomena that can often be viewed in that part of the world.

I say russian missle test.

Quite a remarkable sight. It's being called the Norway Spiral. According to the Universe Today site it was likely a failed missile launch from a Russian submarine in the White Sea.

Just the Russians playing with their giant Spirograph. :D Hypnotize the opposition.

Someone messing with a laser light display I would say, or maybe trying a mass hypnotism!:yep:

Dowly 12-09-09 10:27 PM

Wow, whatever it was, that's pretty darn cool! :yeah:

Does Norway drink as much as Finland does? Maybe they're all buzzed?

Blacklight 12-09-09 11:29 PM

Watching the video, it definitely looks like a wildly spinning out of control missile. I think Russia is lying about the "Not a missile test" thing for some reason.

Top secret laser gun to make global warming real reference? :salute:

SteamWake 12-10-09 03:39 PM

LOL

Watch the link that Torplexed posted... at 00:18 in it looks like you can see a self destruct explosion.

It looks hella big but I wonder why no noise was reported.

AVGWarhawk 12-10-09 08:04 PM

Looks like a new issue from global warming. What has Al Gore said? Does he have a book out yet? Looks like a missle doing loops.

The Russians don't have a monopoly on missile failures... this was the first underwater launch of the Trident II SLBM:
