I didn't see this posted, but man, it's crazy looking!

There's video on the first link too.

That's pretty freaky indeed. Imo it looks like they used a really strong searchlight/projector projecting an image.. but that doesn't really make sense with that blue spiral being there

Or, it's a cheap PS and after effects trick by multiple people.

And the mysteries brings more mysteries, wtf did your image just do to my browser? http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/1650/wtfp.jpg (the offset thing.. and it's not photoshopped!)

Ah well, refreshing fixed it.

you bitch!

but hell, this needs it's own thread.

How else are we going to organize our resistance against whatever crossed over?

So does this mean Captain Sisko is finally coming back from the prophets?? And thus we will see the Deep Space 9 movie some of us have desperately wanted?

MRico

Did anyone here actually see this happen?

I want the aliens to come!!

Mark Dygert

That wasn't one of those high atmosphere light tests was it? NASA did one back in Oct to track particle dispersion or some such thing. It was basically a big light bomb that glowed for a few min a lot like that...

I think they where trying to further explain the Aurora Borealis or it was to help them understand how particles move around in the upper atmosphere.

Anywho I can't seem to find any news on it, its all been over shadowed by NASA trying to blow up the moon... So it probably is a alien conspiracy.

That looks mad, shame the video wasn't nearly as epic as those pictures are

I showed a coworker and he showed me this:

HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a high-powered radio transmission research facility jointly operated by the US Navy, Air Force and several universities. Because of the high secrecy surrounding the government HAARP project, many theories have risen trying to explain what HAARP is and does. Most of them are simply wild speculations, based on fears about what "they are doing up there."

"radio waves rising from the antenna would appear to be spiraling or "cork-screwing" upward"

hahah... HAARPA Chief.
"oh! my stomach! I, too, am dying and about to take a convoluted approach to dying and plot exposition!"

oh but seriously, you can take your pick from either of these:
The templars found the pieces of Eden
or
the large hadron collider did it's job

Good thing i left norway.

sampson

what the hell was that? looks awesome

Snipergen

No wait it's a weather balloon. LHC isn't possible yet, they're just speeding the beams atm and very low energy collisions. Or maybe it's xenu!

Nah I'm reading that it seems to be a rocket that lost track so they exploded it, spiral is fuel that reflects sun rays. It's confirmed in the norish media. They knew about a test of the russians after all. XTREME fireworks.

maybe its a cuthulu incoming?

its step 2 in NASA's project blue beam.

maybe its the Obama signal. it kind of looks like an O, and he's going to Norway to pick up his nobel peace prize thursday.

what was step 1? obama or bomraiding the moon ?

its a soviet missile, fired from a submarine, that got borked in mid-flight, and exploded. the blue stuff is the fuel trail, and the colour is because of some weird shit with the atmosphere. the russians denied having launched it at first, but later admitted it was a cruise missile.

Wahlgren

It's the norwegians that are trying to blame their own faulty missiles on the russians. I know what kind of shit you get up to. Damn norwegians!

Soon you'll give the russians a missile tax that they will have to pay! And that's how the third world war will start. Russia vs Norway. To bad i'm between you two.

nah thats fine, we've agreed that the russians can invade at our northern border. this way sweden can stay neutral in WW3 as well
then our samis can fight the russian horde with rocket launchers mounted on snowmobiles.

bbob

Oh oh, maybe the russians can use swedish roads to invade norway, too..

JohnnyRaptor

with so many missiles being test fired and failing youd think these sort of sightings would be more common...same as the dodgy clouds forming over russia and romania...shit aint normal or common if its never been seen before!

im going with secret alien envoy to meet with obama in norway!

Jeremy Wright

I've read enough comic books to know an interdimensional portal when I see one. I think the tip of the blue trail ended at Obama's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance location.

Daaark

?

I used to make that exact same pattern in PSP all the time with my digital cam of a light on the wall, and the swirl modifier at 720 degrees.

JohnnyRaptor

That is obviously no 720 degrees...more like 7200

notman

I had to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I don't buy this missile explanation. That white cloud was spinning too (the spirals inside it). I think this was something more 'secret' and they don't want people to know. I don't think 'secret' as in alien tech or dimensional travel, just something closer to that haarp experiment.

I didn't say the missile/light stream was 720 degrees.

But that's the exact same per pixel result I used to get. I was using the technique to try and create a texture for a vortex in a mockup of an old game I was making. So That's the first thing I thought of.

Start lookin for this guy around Norway.

Guys, the logical answer here is ALIENS, duh. I mean, what else could it be?

...After staring at the word "could" for a moment, that's a really weird word. I'm starting to convince myself that it's not even spelled right.

Anyways, what was I saying? Oh, right.

ALIENS!

guys, it's obviously a resonance cascade

Yea.. I talked with someone whose father is a rocket scientist

There are 2 clues...1: that pattern is far too perfect to be rocket in a spiral. They make a very ragged and uneven trace when they turn inside the designed radius.
2: Any rocket that has gone that far astray is destroyed by Range Control before it can make that many spirals... resulting in a flash at the center, and downward arcing plumes of smoke or unburned propellant (radiating from the center) from the chunks as they fall.

The Challenger is a good example. Although it wasn't spiraling, remember how the debris formed a "flower"at the end of the smoke trail?

Don't know what that was, but all indications are that it was NOT having problems. That pattern is simply too perfect and tight.

A bit spooky. Hope this helps.

Hope you Norwegians dont let this "official" excuse go unquestioned.

Vailias

The challenger damage flower was due to a catastrophic explosion and breakup of the component parts of the craft. If you have a mostly intact object attempting to keep heading but venting some form of liquid (propellant maybe?) out of its side then it could make a spiral like was seen.

:shrug:
aliens would be more exciting.

Also notice toward the horizon in some of the photos the funky orangeish cloud that looks a lot like a rocket trail as it goes out of the atmospheric altitude where stuff condenses? Its a missile test that broke on its second stage but didn't blow up.
