Strange sky effects in Norway (again)?

Hello everyone..

I need help to analyse this image (exif) is available at fliker, any idea what that is in left side of the image?

I was just taking some winter images, unknowingly took this image then when uploading it to computer found this..

Not a clue what that it might be, clear sky and temp. was actually +2C. No military jets, no bizarre sounds, absolutely nothing out of ordinary!

Image taken in “Drammen” Norway.

Thanks

Lens flare of some sort?
I really see nothing unusual.

It can’t be lens flare, it doesn’t even looks like lens flare (I am professional photographer for 30 years)

But thanks for your reply.

I see, top left corner. Does not line up with the lens flare... good find IMO. I however do not know how to blow-up that part of the pic. * center/left

I absolutely think this is a disturbance caused by the camera itself.
Not in any way a space phenomenon or oddity.
Maybe something produced from long exposure?
Just my opinion and not a fact.

I've skimmed through thousands of photo's myself and have seen this before.

Without any other photos from the same time frame, I can't compare it though.
It would be nice to see if the photographer has another photo from the same time/place.
Because if it doesn't show up in any other pictures, it's definitely a lens disturbance.

Either way it was worth looking at and for that, I thank you.

This might help in your quest for truth

Here in Ottawa Ontario canada, we all awoke to these strange crazy lights , almost beams shooting up into the air, they were seen by thousands here, and it was the talk of the town today!

Str beams of Light over Ottawa

Apparently it was nothing more than Ice crystals. "The phenomenon is known as a trumpet pillar, because it often shows up as a tall column that widens at the top, like the mouth of a trumpet. It happens most often in clear, cold air, because that’s when ice crystals form and hang in the air, close to the ground. Under some conditions, ice crystals can also cause us to see a ring around the moon".

I watched this video a few days ago (maybe yesterday) on the news. It looks a lot like your picture.

Triple Sun thing!

Thank you for the reply, as I said I didn’t even know it was there, not until I got home and upload it to the computer and watch it in bigger screen, or else I would have used the monster optical zoom on the camera “20x” and zoom at it.

Sigh…

Lens flare 100%

Yes , I am familiar with ”pillars of light” effects, how ever this spooky image is not ”ice crystal effect” the temperature was C.+2 those effect happen in much lower temperature.


Thanks for your reply.

It was C.+3 here this morning when it happened.

Also the picture doesnt do any sort of justice at all, to the human eye, they looked like straight search light pillars...when you snap a camera shot, you only see circles, dots.....of sorts....not solid large pillars shooting hundreds of feet in the sky.

Oh so you are the photographer?
Don't you have another picture to compare it to?
I figured you might of taken a few pictures from the same place.

Because I did notice a few other things while observing the original photo.

I detract my original statement only to say that it could be an atmospheric incident...
Although it's not a perfect circle like the original Norway Spiral.

So you didn't notice it until you uploaded it?

Hmm....
Interesting.

Looks to me like a type of shock wave caught in a cloud or contrail. Could it be a contrail of a jet that just went supersonic? No idea if this even happens, but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

When I saw it first in my computer the same idea came to my mind, but I don’t have any recollections of (military jets) presence or hearing any unusual booms/noise in the area.

Unfortunately this one is the only image I have (at that moment) my aim was swans colony down the river..!

Than you for your reply and time.

For what it's worth, the anomaly @ 400%


It does not look like typical, Len's flair, could be Haarp. It could be related to all the changes going on lately, strange times indeed.

No Sir I didn’t. As I said I was “totally unaware of this phenomena” my aim was some thing else, just took a snapshot of the scenery to build up my usual (storyboard for my blog from A to Z of winter snapshots).

Now I am sitting around starring at this image for hours trying to figure out what it might be.

Thanks again for your attention and time.

2°C on the ground has no bearing whatsoever on the temperature at higher altitudes, particurlarly in the atmosphere.
Maybe you are not as familiar with the effect as you claim.
