Weird spiral light show over Norway; UFO or Russian Bulava missile?
Ok, this is just TOO weird. It looks like some cheesy Photoshop job. But click this link and check the multiple photos from multiple angles and photographers as well as the video. If this is a hoax, it’s pretty darn elaborate.
What’s blue and white, squiggly and suddenly appears in the sky?If you know the answer, pop it on a postcard and send it to the people of Norway, where this mysterious light display baffled residents yesterday.
Speculation was increasing today that the display was the result of an embarrassing failed test launch of a jinxed new Russian missile.
The Bulava missile was test-fired from the Dmitry Donskoi submarine in the White Sea early on Wednesday but failed at the third stage, say newspapers in Moscow today.
This emerged despite earlier reports denying a missile launch yesterday. Even early today there was no formal confirmation from the Russian Defence Ministry.
The light appears to be unconnected with the aurora borealis, or northern lights, the natural magnetic phenomena that can often be viewed in that part of the world.
The mystery began when a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain in the north of the country. It stopped mid-air, then began to move in circles. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky.
If this is really some kind of failed missile test, what was the missile intended to do? Hypnotize the viewer?
If it really is a UFO, I expect we’ll see those weird big-head aliens from Mars Attacks on TMZ tonight.
Ack…ack ack…
Seriously though, it looks to be a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile.
Russia’s error-prone Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile has suffered its eight failure in 12 tests, the Defense Ministry said Thursday, dealing another blow to Kremlin hopes that the sea-based weapon would become a cornerstone of its nuclear arsenal.Officials had hoped military contracts for the submarine-launched missile could be negotiated next year, but the high-profile botches look likely to derail those plans.
The Defense Ministry’s statement announcing the latest failure, which it said occurred after Wednesday’s launch from the White Sea just east of Scandinavia, came amid speculation about the origin of mysterious spiraling lights over northern parts of Norway. Photographs and amateur video footage of the lights have been circulating on the Internet since Wednesday.
The ministry said it did not know whether the lights were the Bulava, which can accommodate multiple nuclear warheads and has a range of 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers).
“The first two stages of the rocket worked as they should have, however, in the third and final stage of the flight a technical error occurred,” the statement said. “According to tests, the third stage’s engine was unstable.”
Despite the repeated failures – which look set to torpedo plans to finish testing this year – Russian leaders have boasted about the Bulava’s ability to penetrate missile defenses and have described it as a key part of the military’s future nuclear arsenal.
Russia is testing their intercontinental ballistic missile, eh? (Note: ICBMs are designed for nuclear weapon delivery) Man, I’m sure glad President Obama gave in to Russian demands and scrapped our anti-missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.
Judgment to lead.
