Bizzare lights over Norway

SteamWake · 12-09-09, 10:07 PM

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.

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

Dowly · 12-09-09, 10:27 PM

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

nikimcbee · 12-09-09, 10:50 PM

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.
