I have no idea what this is. My first thought was some sort of hoax but it was taken from too many angles and seen by too many people to be computer generated. My next though was some sort of projector, but I am not aware of anything powerful or sophisticated enough. Failed missile test was next, but the spiral seems to perfect and lasted for to long, not to mention the Russians deny even firing a missile. This happened over Norway, but scientist say it is not related to the Aurora Borealis. Aliens!?!; that would be cool.

Popular Science points to the only other incident that even comes close;

Until presented with an alternative explanation, I'm going to say it was done by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
ReplyDeleteIt's obviously coming up from the ground, and just as obviously it's machine-generated, because the spiral looks like what happens when you use the 'twirl' effect on Final Cut Pro video... very symmetrical, thus not astronomical at all... I can see a planet or a star looking symmetrically round, but not a light phenomenon like that.
ReplyDeleteSomeone's hoaxing with some kind of laser light show.
Anyone know if they were conducting any colider experiments during the time of its appearance??
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - what do you know that can project into the sky not using clouds without leaving any sort of trail/trace the way you see it in the pictures and video?

ReplyDelete@tully01 - have a link?
ReplyDeleteAnyone notice any activity around the HAARP site?

ReplyDeleteDespite the denials, universetoday.com reports that a NAVTEX warning was issued to ships in the area informing them that a missile launch was going to take place. And that's what it looks like- a missile that has lost guidence, spewing fuel.
ReplyDeleteInterdimensional portal. Seen it a thousand times.
ReplyDelete@michael edelman - missile does seem the most probable, if only by process of elimination, but it still does not fit well given how long it lasted and the way it looks.
ReplyDeleteBalloon boy got out again?

ReplyDeleteWe're Doomed! Doomed, do you hear! ;-)
Seems the colider was active.

Anyone have times for each event?

It was just Obama's halo arriving early for the

Ah well, times don't match. Seems published times were 8:45Am, yet some stories seem to say evening.

It's obviously a projection. The real question is who is behind it? Possibly the Obama administration in order to grant him a messianic grace while at Copenhagen (while he suffers from dwindling poll numbers), or an Obama sympathizer perhaps?
ReplyDeleteThis was created by aliens with octogonal prism-shaped bodies beaming through from the 5th dimension across spacetime to hide in the earth's core, and someday finally invade on our futile lives.
