Spectacular Phenomena In The Sky. What Is It?

Less than two hours ago, this phenomena was observed over northern Norway. No one knows what is is. Do you have any idea on what it might be? If so, let us hear about it.

This is is super coolIts so pretty! but prolly capable of killing millions lol! A sound vortex? Rocket?
I hope someone can tell us what it is? I searched spirals, and the only other mention on Google is like smoke columns in Canada.
Are they some type of Aurora affected by air currents?

S and F

The black hole is odd. What was the weather conditions there? Ill ask OZ to get us a reading

Wow! how interesting! Does anyone on here know if it's a weather phenomenon or something else? I've never seen anything like it before, the spiral is so perfectly even, this was my favourite picture on the link you provided - thanks for posting it!

Here are some more pictures, taken from www.vg.no.
The pictures are taken from several different people.















Also, a link to a video showing the "explosion" of the disk of light.
Video from www.vg.no


Edit: The pictures became a bit small... I'll fix them.

Im thinking its some type of fog bow, but Im not 100% sure. May I suggets emailig the gurus at www.atoptics.co.uk?

Thanks for more pictures! some of them kind of remind me of the bat signal being shot into the sky , then some look like aurora. Those strange rings around it are the most intriguing!

Wow! WTF is that?
I wish I could see something like that.

They are gonna say its just an optical illusion caused by "Ice crystals"

_Orion

That is some weird stuff. I hope it's aliens but I'm sure phage will find a natural explenation.

I can't wait to hear the "phage-ism" that makes it sound so reasonably average.

With oz man not being sure I am wondering. This is a very cool effect, whatever it is.

God damn. That is awesome. Too bad I live in the central part of Norway.

Someone should try to get the original photo taken in its full resolution (the one with the spiral)

HERE IS A VIDEO OF IT:

Another picture from www.vg.no.

A Norwegian rocket scientist believe it might be a failed Russian rocket launch


Norwegian article:
Mystisk lysfenomen kan være russisk rakett



edit to add:
He believe it might have been launched from a Russian submarine

Coolest thing ever???

Thats seems plausible.

If there was enough ice or humidity in the air, the light from the bootser couldve refracted off that producing a coronal effect.

Too tell the truth, Im completely stumped other than that

from this it looks like point of origin is behind the mountain, terrestrial. IS there a research or military facility there?



[edit on 9-12-2009 by zazzafrazz]

I thought about a rocket launch because of the trail and then Oz's idea of the FogBow could be right on. It is awesome whatever it is!
