A mysterious light display appearing over Norway last night has left thousands of residents in the north of the country baffled. Witnesses from Trøndelag to Finnmark compared the amazing sight to anything from a Russian rocket to a meteor or a shock wave – although no one appears to have mentioned UFOs yet. 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 center – lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely.

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute was flooded with telephone calls after the light storm – which astronomers have said did not appear to have been connected to the aurora, or Northern Lights, so common in that area of the world. The mystery deepened tonight as Russia denied it had been conducting missile tests in the area.

    im a very rational minded individual person , and would very much like to think this could be some sorta missile malfunction or something but it to my imagination and eyes it does look something like a possible hyperspace wormhole , or trans-dimensional quantum portal of some kind or at least how i’d imagine it to look.

    generally speaking not good things to occur in large scale in a planetary atmosphere due to the intensity of the energy generally thought to be required to do so.

    with all that’s going on in the world , i really have to wonder if its just muddling on from tired and spent religious people who are trying to make it die a lil faster each day
    or , with the culling of all the old automobile tech , and the quick n’ dirty inoculations aka forced/random population control if its some sorta prep for 1st contact in 2012?
    right when a new american president would be picked i think… and in sync with the “mayan cyclic” calendar (note is not a sign of the earth to go kaboom or humanity to die out)
    the funny thing is that when their last cycle ended… the white/Spaniard showed up lol

    # 30 Kathryn said, “You cannot make a black hole by smashing atoms.” Well, apparently some of the foolish idiots who work at CERM disagree with you. “…some speculative theories that predict the production of such [microscopic black hole] particles at the LHC. All these theories predict that these particles would disintegrate immediately.” http://public.web.cern.ch/Public/en/LHC/Safety-en.html But I’m sure your degree in particle physics outweighs theirs.

    This was a fireworks display purposely done to fuel the conspiracy crowd’s knickers. I did like Bruno’s answer in #34.

    Give it a few weeks for the nut cakes to start coming up with answers. Oooppppss, I missed soundwash in #37.

    The aliens are only here to make better lives for themselves, after suffering eons of abuse on their homeworld. If you don’t support giving them our planet, then you are hateful evil nazis.

    I am thinking it could have been the testing of the missile shield that they were going to sell to Europe.

  9. The0ne says:

    Why is it this stuff always happen in places with absolutely no one to properly take a picture or video? Can’t this stuff ever happen like a Los Angeles or San Diego?

    My collegues and I would be out there with our pro cameras taking shots in an instant.

  10. RTaylor says:

    As any Swede would tell you, if it happened over Norway, they would find no intelligent life. A good friend of mine is Norwegian, and I couldn’t wait to email that zing this morning.
