    So does anyone want to take a wild stab at what the fuck this could have been?

    Mystery spiral blue light display hovers over Norway
    A mysterious light display appearing over Norway last night has left thousands of residents in the north of the country baffled.

    Witnesses from Trøndelag to Finnmark compared the amazing sight to anything from a Russian rocket to a meteor or a shock wave - although no one appears to have mentioned UFOs yet.

    The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate.

    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 twelve minutes before disappearing completely.

    The Norwegian Meteorological Institute was flooded with telephone calls after the light storm - which astronomers have said did not appear to have been connected to the aurora, or Northern Lights, so common in that area of the world.

    The mystery deepened tonight as Russia denied it had been conducting missile tests in the area.

    Picture of the phenomenon:

    doesn't a ground-based projection system need something to project ONTO, like cloud-cover or something?

    and also, wouldn't it be super fucking hard to even project something on a cloud?

    I caught one with a wineglass and a piece of paper (against the wall) to take a good look at it.

    Went out of the patio and placed the glass upside down with a string attached to it.

    Unrolled it some 15 meters and tugged.

    2 seconds go by and i hear a faint, vicious buzzing getting louder and louder.

    Motherfucker comes round the corner, pissed as all hell and homes in on me. I see this.

    I am scared.

    By the grace of reflexes granted by sheer terror, i manage to duck and the fucker smacks into the wall with a satisfying *Thud*.

    This is fucking scary

    I don't think I'd call one expert's speculation as confirmation. Particularly when the Russians still deny firing a rocket at all.

    To me this sounds like an experimental weapon that either the Russians or the Norwegians fired off that either went horribly wrong in flight, yielded far greater results than anticipated, Or provided unexpected results than what was anticipated.

    I'm going to cross post this from another forum:

    I dunno you probably won't take it as evidence but as far as "probable causes" a rocket or failed rocket launch is pretty easily the most probable cause.
