Giant Mysterious Spiral Takes Over the Skies of Norway

People are freaking out all over Norway because of what you are seeing here. According to Norwegian news outlets, the spooky giant spiral was seen, photographed, and recorded on video from all over the country. Updated with video.

Could it all be a hoax? Maybe it's a massive joke, but all kinds of Norwegian news sites are reporting on it. According to NKR—Norway's national TV channel—it could be related to a rocket fired from a Russian submarine in the White Sea. The Russians are denying any part on it at this at the moment. Nick Banbury, a witness located at Harstad, described how it all happened:

We are used to seeing lots of auroras here in Arctic Norway, but on my way to work this morning I saw something completely unexpected. Between 7:50 and 8:00 a.m. local time, there was a strange light in the sky. It consisted initially of a green beam of light similar in colour to the aurora with a mysterious rotating spiral at one end. This spiral then got bigger and bigger until it turned into a huge halo in the sky with the green beam extending down to the earth.

As hard as it is to believe, you can't dispute the fact that the strange spiral was witnessed and recorded by thousands of people from hundreds of miles away, which means that the phenomenon occurred at a very high altitude. Even Phil Plait from Bad Astronomy agrees that this is real, and says that it was probably a rocket out of control.

It’s what it looks like when the world goes into the toilet bowl head first. Thanks, Al Gore.

(Of course, my target was at the bottom of the contrail.)

I was about to say! Thanks for the knowledgable insight.

That energy level, for those in Rio Linda, means one of the colliding protons "weighs" 2500 times its normal mass, going 0.99999992 times the speed of light. A mol of such protons would weigh about 5 pounds, instead of 1 gram (rest mass).

History, is made at night!

Notice the still images are very clean and clear and taken from various spots. But its not so clear from the video footage. It would be very suspicious if all those pictures were given to one newsource to release. If thats so, then I’m willing to bet its a hoax

Early mouse wheel... (lol)

Cobalt, and electricity... They're loaded for bear, Buckaroo...

We used that to steer Hurricane Katrina towards Louisiana, so it wouldn’t hit Texas (right before we blew up the levees).

Hey! We could use that thing to send Algore back to the medieval warming period.

The photos I saw looked to be time exposures which would explain the relative brightness of the spiral as compared to video.

LOL :)

You mean that in addition to the ordinary "seid" or "seide" there's a dark one?

Looks like a view from the bottom of the toilet bowl after it’s been flushed. Is it a sign of the end days...are we about to be flushed?

Someone on another thread on this topic posted a link to a youtube view of a similar (spiraling light) over China....I can’t find that link right now.

Just had a thought - didn’t the Chinese do something to generate rain or snow? In the atmosphere?

Are they or the Russians doing some kind of funny weather affecting experiment now over Norway just at the time of the Climate conference?.....just ponderin....

(This isn’t the one others posted - but looks like maybe a similar event pictured here...over China - earlier in year.)

I’ve had defective fireworks do this same pattern.

Its a heavenly tribute Obama, Man of the World, Nobel Prize Winner, best selling author, legislator par excellance.

Could be.

I think that the Dark Side has confabulated this tribute as 0bama goes to Oslo, Norway to accept the Peace Prize, recognizing him as the prophecied Man of Peace.

Here’s the weird part; just as I clicked on this story to read, my TV turned off
All By Itself.

[happygrl]

Interesting.

According to the end of the video, one of these spirals appeared in 1987.

Whoa! Time Tunnel. I can’t believe I remember that show.
