The blue green beam is most definitely a lens flare. No really.
It is extremely dark so they must have cranked exposure time up to over 9000. It's a lens flare, an artifact.
Actually, the video posted that is a demonstration of how a rocket spirals also has the blue spiral in the center, and that is a computer generated thing, so its definitely not a lens flare.
The blue spiral in the CG simulation is the path where the particle emitter has travelled.
But the spiral in the photographs is nearly identical. How does a lens flare reproduce that exact effect? (honest question.)

the russians have said they fired a rocket in all the ways a military say they fire rockets. They told our military so they wouldn't loose their shit, and they said to stay out of the area. You're not going to see a statement from the russians for some time.
But not like we need one. We all know this is just the fury of Thor.

Using google maps, and the power of looking at Trondelag and Finnmark, it's around 1500 kilometers of area that people could see it from. That's a biiiig area.
Also, if no one in sweden saw it, I'll be very confused.

Like at most two people live in the area of Sweden that corresponds to those places and the area between them.
What conclusion are you coming to? Things high in the sky can be seen from a far distance?
I've only heard of people in Norway having seen it. No reports from other places. Which is kinda weird, given the huge area it covers.
Also, with that massive of an area that people could see it being that huge from, would a rocket be able to be seen like that over hundreds of kilometers?

If the rocket was out over the ocean, yes. See the border between Sweden and Norway on the google map? That brown terrain stuff is called a mountain. Mountains are big and tend to block things seen on the other side of said mountains.

1. The line between those two points seem to cut away about 1/55th of Sweden's area. So no, not most of Sweden.
2. Two people in Sweden live there, seriously. (Almost seriously, anyway, nobody lives there really).
3. Those are the mountains, views can be obscured.
4. What are you getting at?
Ignore the blue line. You're looking at how people as far away as those two points could see it. So i'm guessing it was somewhere in the middleish. Thus, lots of people in sweden could theoretically see it. Unless it was in the ocean and far enough down the horizon to be blocked by mountains.

Or none of the five people living there bothered to call in.

But again, all speculation.
Alright. Well it was most definitely out over the ocean, and if it was at a parallel between those two places and out over the ocean then it would probably not be seen too far into Sweden. Because it would've been too far away. Also the mountains are a factor. For obvious reasons in the northern hemisphere you would rather live on the southern side of a mountain slope. And that place is packed with low valleys and high tops, literally hundreds of them. And the area is very depopulated compared to the rest of the country.
As much as I hate to be picky, those maps are from 40 years ago. It may still be like that but that just bugs me.
Given how far it went in Norway, no one thinks it hit a population center in sweden?
It would likely have been too far away to have been seen anywhere near the coast of the Baltic even if we were to disregard the mountains.
So pretty surely no, maybe what 70% or more of our population lives far longer south than that and that way up north you only have people living near the sea. The whole border to Norway is basically tiny villages and ski resorts. The further north the less people.

Population centers up their grow smaller all the time, we rely less and less on the wood or steel coming from such places for our economy so people move away. Still chances are our space center up in Kiruna might have seen it, but chances are they knew better then to set their hair on fire.

Do the math, taking the altitude, velocity, weather conditions, and size of the rocket and see how fair it's trail would be able to be seen, THEN tell me how likely/unlikely it would be.

See, we don't know any of that, nor where it was. I'm just saying it looks likely to me, but given everyone elses massive "no, no one lives there" then I guess they wouldn't have seen it.
But thanks for calling me an asshole! And the profanity is just great, because if there's one thing that's awesome, it's cursing angrily at someone who's just trying to nicely discuss the issue!

Seriously, though, wonder what it is.

the goof is out there

i'm just saying "lol aliens" is pretty much never a valid explanation until every single natural explanation has been shown to be impossible.
But what if the aliens caused the natural explanation? huh? HUH!?
<.<
ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuu

Those are some nice aliens.
I'm assuming the swedes could see it too. But I haven't heard anything about it.
you're welcome

There we go. See! MOST of sweden.

They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

As has already been said, its dark forests and white mountains up there, not people.
nooooooooooo
my sciences!
It was a sub-based ICBM test launch.
They don't do those right by the shore.

See the part to the west? Less than five people per square mile.
Now compare it to Norway:

This is exactly what I thought.
Those poor, poor Norwegians.

Have you tried doing the fucking math asshole?
You haven't have you?
