What's blue and white, squiggly and suddenly appears in the sky?
If you know the answer, pop it on a postcard and send it to the people of Norway, where this mysterious light display baffled residents yesterday.
Curiously, it appears to be unconnected with the aurora borealis, or northern lights, the natural magnetic phenomena that can often be viewed in that part of the world.
. . .
The mystery began when a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain in the north of the country. It stopped mid-air, then began to move in circles. 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 12 minutes before disappearing completely.
Onlookers describing it as 'like a big fireball that went around, with a great light around it' and 'a shooting star that spun around and around'.
The Norwegian Meteorological Institute was flooded with telephone calls after the light storm.
. . .
Totto Eriksen, from Tromsø, told VG Nett: 'It spun and exploded in the sky,'
He spotted the lights as he walked his daughter Amalie to school.
He said: 'We saw it from the Inner Harbor in Tromsø. It was absolutely fantastic.
'It almost looked like a rocket that spun around and around and then went diagonally down the heavens.
'It looked like the moon was coming over the mountain, but then came something completely different.'
Celebrity astronomer Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard said he had never seen anything like the lights.
He said: 'My first thought was that it was a fireball meteor, but it has lasted far too long.
'It may have been a missile in Russia, but I can not guarantee that it is the answer.'

The Youtube wasn’t much but those pics are pretty wild. Are those actual pics of the phenomenon or recreations?
Actual pictures.
I’m impressed. I’d love to see that first hand.

Sweet....:)
Electric universe is the first thing I thought of when I saw this. In fact, on other threads about this I posted links to www.holoscience.com
All that free, fresh meat just going to waste.
The humanity.....
Apparently this same phenomena has occurred in China. There’s a YouTube video of it. Can’t find it at the moment but I’ll post the link later.
Totally agree. I’m sick of the anti-Romney stuff on every FR page.
Moderator...take this stuff down. We get it...you don’t like Romney. We’re not likely to forget it anytime soon. Enough already.
I’d bet it was the mythical Aurora ram jet U. S. spy plane.

Here's one of ours from back in the day:
Doesn’t even look close. It really doesn’t. In any event, how do you explain the blue green corckscrew beam?
Wasn’t implying that the photo I posted was the cause. Just posted it to show we can do pinwheels too.
Something similar to this perhaps: Charged Aerosol Release Experiment (CARE)
I live near the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and have seen strange looking "clouds" after launches. I've also seen chemical release experiments in the atmosphere where you get beautiful colored "clouds".
Not saying that's the explanation for this but just saying.
It’s obviously Santa-related.
Thanks Swordmaker.
As Elaine said, “fake! fake! fake! fake!”
Careful, you’ll be excoriated as a RINO if you keep that up. ;’)
If you pause the first video released on YouTube near the end, you’ll see a bright yellow triangle appear, right in the middle of this thing.
It’s perfect, and equilateral, so can’t be an atmospheric anomaly. It only lasts a second, so you have to watch carefully for it, but it’s there.
