Gallery: Strange Nighttime Lights Over Norway

Okay, maybe I watch too much sci-fi, but I've seen that effect, or something like it, a few times before. So, who's visiting earth? I'm no rocketeer, but I have launched more than one model rocket in my time, and I remain unconvinced that a rocket, or missile, that is supposedly out of control, can make such a regular spiral- I mean, that looks damned near perfect. Now, that video of the one in China looks more like a missile gone awry. The truth is out there, let's find it...

I'm with jamie1962a on this one. Such an effect and NOBODY knows anything about it? That's a bit suspicious to me. Pair this with the perfect hexagon at Saturn's north pole, and it sounds to me that something's going on. Perhaps our first large scale encounter with another sentient species is the world changing event to happen in 2012. Who knows, we could all be wrong. All I know is that whatever did that isn't natural and probably isn't human made either.

P.S. does anybody know the wavelegnth and frequency on either of the parts?

I hate to disappoint everyone but the light is coming up from the ground and is being dispersed by ice crystals in the air. Find the source of the light and your mystery is salved. If it was coming from the clouds you would see a glowing spot at the source of the light and no beam coming form the clouds because the clouds would have dispersed it. To the person or persons that did this I say nice try. I have some ideas on how they did it but would need more data before I say anything.

DD Beck, I was having the same thought when I saw image 4. It reminds me very much of the beam from a Maxabeam flashlight, like those used in many movies and sci-fi shows. Only on a much larger scale.

Psciz,DD Beck; It may be man made from a source on the ground, but you and I know we all want to believe that this was extraterrestrial.

To everyone:
I've seen some unexplicable objects that move at high speed, make 90 degree trajectory changes and disapear... thats right, disapear. I've seen something transit above the horizon and emit progressive light pulses with ALOT of distance between each pulse. These pulses were not regular. However, the most interesting aspect of the pulsing object was that I could see a null space at the center of the pulse. Very wierd to see!
As far as this spiral and beam, I highly doubt it was the product of a flash light. Search lights don't do this, nor do "maxabeam" flashlights. This occurence has an equal chance of being man-made or, not man-made. The fact is that only military persons could know what this might be.
Flashlights, rockets, and idiots don't make things like this. If they did, don't you think that we would see alot more of these?

One step at a time, I am going to make wild guess as to what it is and say that it is mostly likely an unusual sun dog phenomenon captured at a precise moment.
It looks like it is within our atmosphere; one noticeable feature is how it is angle toward a setting sun below the horizon in three of the photos.
The spiraling effect could be a horizontal vortex or rolling column of air and ice crystals.
My question about this is: Can this be repeated?

What's got me baffled is why it happened almost two weeks ago and the subject hasn't been brought up again. How is Tiger Wood's many mistresses more important than investigating this?

Okay you all watch way too much sci-fi. What the hell people! They already confirmed that it was a failed missile test. relax, we're not being attacked by aliens till 2012.

I say it was a prankster.

P.S. What's with all the end-of-the-world in 2012 stuff? It has no scientific backup, nor does it make any sense. Ancient calendar my foot.

Clearly appears to be going up from the ground.
Is someone trying to signal Batman?

Yes a missile test... of course.
Why exactly are the rings so expansive in comparison to the tail?

It's quite possible somebody had a new laser, ramped up the power and focus along with the right atmosphere and it's beam carried nicely in the night air. Then with disco tools got it to spin. I've got a $50 dollar green laser that in a slight haze at night looks like it goes for miles into space or across the county. A recent facebook photo contest had a similar photo in the section titled "lights" that was taken in an amusement park. Let's all calm down as the terrorists are more dangerous, but weren't succesful as was proven again Christmas Day. When Christ returns that will really light up the sky. PEACE.

One word. Photoshop.

Yeah, extraterrestrials traveled millions of light years just to come to Earth to make us go "Ooh! Ahh!"

this is Russia's new secret weapon the plasma cannon

My theory is, that, as said in the article, it was a test missile: but there was something wrong with it (launched awkwardly, bad coordinates etc). So they shot it down, and (most likely) accidentally hit the back rudder, that caused it to spin. The blue may be caused from Copper compounds such as Copper Chloride or Copper Carbonate that when lit they burns blue. Or maybe a powerful laser that was used to shoot it down.Then after it landed they just went in and cleaned it all up and tried to quiet the media about it. And I don't think it will happen again very soon unfortunately. :-(

I have some ideas on how they did it but would need more data before I say anything.

I would have believed anything because like most of you its what I want to believe; yet the commenter, who was clever enough to study the photo and declared that it was beamed from earth due to the light placement, is not my favorite person today!!!! thank you for a great article.

I agree with DD Beck having looked through the pictures, but I admit that they do look great. I would have loved seeing that for real! Powerful beam.

I have some ideas on how they did it... however, it is a great effect!
