December 2009 Experts in Norway have been left baffled by a mysterious spiral UFO of light that has drawn excitement from UFO enthusiasts.SPIRAL UFO 10/12/2009 10-12-2009 12/10/2009 12-10-2009
The giant pattern appeared in the pre-dawn sky in the country's north, and could be seen from hundreds of kilometres away.The SPIRAL UFO flash lasted for about two minutes. A video was filmed by a worker at an army base. He said it SPIRAL UFO started out as a small light in the sky, but grew into a light show that seemed to disappear into a black hole. Thousands of awe-struck Norwegians bombarded the Meteorological Institute to ask what the incredible light SPIRAL UFO — that could be seen in the pre-dawn sky for hundreds of miles — could possibly be.
The phenomenon has been dubbed 'Star-Gate' — as the world's top scientists and the military lined up to admit they were baffled. SPIRAL UFO
SPIRAL UFO Theories ranging from a misfired Russian missile, meteor fireball, never-before-seen type of northern light, 'black hole' and even alien activity were all proposed.
SPIRAL UFO Witnesses across Norway, who first glimpsed the space show at 8.45am, all described seeing a spinning 'Catherine wheel-style' spiral of white light, centred around a bright moon-like star.
SPIRAL UFO A blue "streaming tail" appeared to anchor the spiral to earth, before the light "exploded" into a rotating ring of white fire.
The spiral spectacle — which lasted for two minutes — was seen by vast swathes of the Scandinavian country's almost five million population, with sightings as far north as Finnmark to Trondelag in the south.
SPIRAL UFO Totto Eriksen, from Tromso, in northern Norway, was one of the thousands who bombarded Norwegian newspapers with sightings — after nearly crashing his car on spotting the spiral overhead.
He said: "I was driving my daughter to school when this light spun and exploded in the sky.
"We saw it from the Inner Harbour in Tromso. It looked like a rocket that spun around and around - and then went diagonally across the heavens.
"It looked like the moon was coming over the mountain - but then turned into something totally different.
"People just stopped and stared on the pier - it was like something from a Hollywood movie."
Axel Berg, from Alta, also in the north of the country, added: "It was like a giant spiral - a shooting star that spun around and around.
"I initially thought it was a projector but then the 'tail light' left and the spiral remained spinning still."
Norway's most celebrated astronomer, Knut Jorgen Roed Odegaard, said he had never seen anything like the spiral before.
He said: "This was seen over an exceptionally large area of the country - in all of north Norway and the Trondelag.
"My first thought was that it was a fireball meteor - but it lasted far too long.
"It may have been a missile from Russia - but I can't guarantee that is the answer.
"I rang the Air Traffic Control tower in Tromse. They said it was over in two minutes. To me, that is far too long for this to be an astronomical phenomenon.
"This spiral shape is unique. It is definitely not a variation of the aurora borealis - northern lights."
Chief Scientist Erik Tandberg, at the Norwegian Space Centre, said that he too was "totally amazed" by the spiral.
He agreed with many other experts that the spiral pattern could have been caused by a missile from Russia — something the Russian military have strongly denied.
Dr Tandberg said: "I agree with everyone in the science community that this light was the weirdest thing. I have never seen anything like this ever.
"It may have been anything from an exploding missile whose launch went wrong - to a comet or other celestial object that for some reason has been behaving strangely.
"If it was a missile - most likely from the launch base in Pletsevsk in Russia or one of the Russian submarines or even from the European Space Agency base in Kiruna - then we are talking about a rocket launch that has gone wrong.
"The spiral suggests the object came off course and balance and entered the spiral movement. Leaking rocket fuel could account for the blue light.
"But I know that the military have denied this explanation. So we could be looking at an entirely new natural phenomenon."

Actually I am not gay, but nevertheless am so appreciative of winning your slightly odd (and unnerving) contest. Cheers, Herod.

sigh.
my comment (which is one of the only ones i have ever bothered to post on these pathetic message boards), was actually a COMMENTARY/parody on messages akin to the one i posted.
i was wondering how long it would take some judgemental pisant to go out of their way to make a pithy remark regarding aforementioned message.
good job, you won the contest.
hope it makes you feel special to condescend to others you percieve as inferior.
by the way,
YIU ARE STUPOD.
AND ALSO GAY TWO.

Well a missle is now the most obvious answer. My fauther, who was in the coast guard, actually saw a missle go out of control once. It made the exact same patern in the sky. And i agree that it is odd. Prohaps it was some new weapon being tested and it went wronf? Propulsion device? Misguided missile? Who knows? Im just saying there are multiable possibilities and no one can ever say for sure as to what happend, until evidence come forth. until then, only speculation.

@NJPoolboy "supernatural forces and unexplained nature" you sure have a way with putting words into some else's mouth.
I never implied anything of the sort. You are the one who is implying that I implied something. LOL! So who is doing the implying here?
Once again i will state that i don't know what it is. ;]

I never said or do believe that it is EISCAT. I'm just stating that there should be radar data to back up this claim that it is a missile. There is none and no one is talking about it in the Media or any source for that matter. This is like the most obvious tool to use to put a story like this to rest and nothing is being said about it. I find that to be very odd.

no, I didn't explain it that way. I wouldn't do that, for it's simply a messed up rocket. Your original post implied that of an unexplained nature, when a teeeeny amount of research into the "phenomena" gave the answer right away.

@NJPoolboy I didn't explain it away as "supernatural forces that should be feared" YOU DID! LOL
All I said is that it doesn't look like a rocket that is travleing across the sky as it breaks up. Like Challenger did. Remember how that looked. It made a path of destruction across the sky. This disk's only movement is in s circular motion as it sits stationary in the sky.
The points I am trying to make are very logical.
I will say again. I don't know what it is.
