UFO over NORWAY: Aliens or Russian Rocket?
Posted by Danger on December 9th, 2009 filed in CoooooL, It's Science, WTF?, Whoa.Residents in the north of Norway are mystified by a bizarre UFO that flashed over the sky. Pictures and video footage of the strange swirling blue light in the sky do not help much in the way of determining what caused the UFO.
The description of how it happened is pretty incredible:
The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate.
Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre – lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely.

This was probably a spinning rocket that was expelling fuel or outgassing. An article on Bad Astronomy explains: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/12/09/awesomely-bizarre-light-show-freaks-out-norway/

As much as I wanted to believe aliens had arrived to save us, or more likely make us their pets. I’m going with Dana’s take on it after reading the article. The pictures and video do appear out of this world though.

I saw this, it was soo fucking weird. If it was a russian rocket it must have had huge amounts of fuel in it…
