UFO over Voss 24 january 2012

UPDATE: So apparently this is a satelitte from the russian version of GPS; Glonass, according to some commenter and also from emails I have received.

- "Glonass 2000-063A usspacecom catalog no 26564 launched in the year 2000. Because it has such a high orbit, it is much fainter and moving much more slowly than the lower orbiting satellites."
Said gr575. So this is probably the most logical explanation.

According to xapie128: The satellite seen at 0:37 is 1975-072B/08063, a Delta 1 rocket that launched an ESA satellite (now decayed). The one seen at 0:42 is 1968-042B/03271, a Thor rocket that launched a U.S. DMSP satellite. The one seen at 1:00 is 2002-021A/27421, the French SPOT 5 satellite (this might also be the in the close-up at 1:41). The one seen in the lower right at 1:04 is 2002-056E/27601, a Japanese H-2A rocket that launched the ADEOS 2 satellite (and 2 smaller satellites, including 1 for Austraila).

I was making a timelapse of the auroras, and after I noticed this object in my pictures. It differs from the other moving objects wich are satellites and meteorites, because these are moving at much more speed than this object. Also, it differs from airplanes because these have strong blinking lights. The timespan of the moving object from start to end is 23 minutes. I dont really think if it was a satellite you could observe one for 23 minutes?

It is no planet, or star, since our planet is spinning like how you see the stars are moving, and the object is going the other way.

I just really wonder what it could be, any suggestions? What Im really thinking it is some kind of slow moving satellite, but I dont know. I really hope it is friendly aliens.

@xapie128 Really cool commentary, xapie, love that you took your time to find this. :) Thanks, updating the info

[abrocksyz]

Found a lot of objects from space in MOSS, Norway (Not VOSS):

They are called meteorites. They fell down from the sky in the morning.

[TehThird]

@abrocksyz Oh, really. You should sell them, they are worth alot, lucky you!

[gr575]

It's another satellite. It's very very high - range is 14,000 miles - getting close to geostationary. It's Glonass 2000-063A usspacecom catalog no 26564 launched in the year 2000. Because it has such a high orbit, it is much fainter and moving much more slowly than the lower orbiting satellites.

[TehThird]

@gr575 Yes you are the second to tell me this now so it must be it, thanks for clearing that up! :) So, if i timelapse the same place the same time again, will i see it again?

[Justin20467]

satellites or anything else in orbit must maintain a common speed to remain in orbit. that is not anything in orbit! whatever it is is under its own power. great video!

[abrocksyz]

@abrocksyz To make things clearer. This was in July 2006. Not now. They are carbonaceous chondrites. Containing some carbon that also is the building blocks of life.

@TehThird No problem, it was a fun investigative exercise. I can send you plots and the TLEs if you are interested.

I saw 5 of them on the 27th Jan see my clip I made..

@hrgruzom Right and I'm sure people went to this video because they thought it was something unknown in the sky and not an alien UFO. You know as well as a majority of people the term UFO makes people think of aliens and that's why its in the title.

[jerichomutant]

GREAT video! Thanks for posting. anti gravity cold fusion

[hrgruzom]

@TheOZBehindCurtain Because it's unidentified, flying and probably an object? I don't know...
