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.

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.
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.
Fred Hansen, from Bø in Vesterålen, described the sight as 'like a big fireball that went
around, with a great light around it again.'
'It spun and exploded in the sky,' Totto Eriksen from Tromsø told VG Nett.
He spotted the lights as he walked his daughter Amalie to school.
He said: 'We saw it from the Inner Harbor in Tromsø. It was absolutely fantastic.
'It almost looked like a rocket that spun around and around and then went diagonally down
the heavens.
'It looked like the moon was coming over the mountain, but then came something
completely different.'
'It was like a giant spiral - a shooting star that spun around and around. I initially thought it
was a projector', added Axel Rose Berg, from Alta.
Celebrity astronomer Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard told VG Nett he had never seen
anything like the lights.
He said: 'My first thought was that it was a fireball meteor, but it has lasted far too long.
'It may have been a missile in Russia, but I can not guarantee that it is the answer.'
Air Traffic control in Tromsø claimed the light show lasted for two minutes, but admitted that
was 'far too long to be an astronomical phenomena.'
Tromsø Geophysical Observatory researcher Truls Lynne Hansen was certain the light had
been caused by a missile launch.
He told Norwegian media that the missile had likely lost control and exploded. The spiral,
he claimed, was the result of light reflecting on the leaking fuel. He was quoted as saying
the light was sunlight, despite the strange lights showing up at night.
The Barents Observer quoted Norwegian Defence spokesman Jon Espen Lien as saying
that the Norwegian military does not know what the lights were - but that they were
probably from a Russian missile.
He said it was normal for Russia to use the White Sea and the Barents Sea as a testing
ground for missiles.
However a Moscow news outlet tonight quoted the Russian Navy as denying any rocket
launches from the White Sea area.
Norway should be informed of such launches under international agreements, it was
stressed.
The Russian Defence Ministry was unavailable for comment last night.

Strange spiral: Residents in northern Norway were left stunned after the lightshow,
which almost looked computer-generated, appeared in the skies above them. 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.

Strange light in Norwegian sky sparks mystery
A eerie turquoise light spotted over Norway has sparked a mystery, with suggestions it
could be a missile test.
Published: 3:48PM GMT 09 Dec 2009
Meteorologists, astronomers and Armed Forces have been unable to explain the lights
The Norwegian Metrological Institute has received hundreds of phonecalls from confused
observers but so far has been unable to identify its origin.
Some experts have speculated that the phenomenon might have been caused by a
Russian rocket launch. However, the Russian embassy insists such claims are completely
unfounded.
Neither meteorologists, astronomers, or the Armed Forces have offered a solution to the
matter.
The light was captured by amateur photographer Jan Petter Jorgensen while he was on
his way to work at a salmon factory.
"The light appeared for 2-3 minutes. I could not believe my eyes, and got the shivers and
was quite shaken by it", Mr Jorgensen said.
Morten Kristiansen, who saw the light phenomena from Sortland in northern Norway,
added: " A large ring appeared, and then spread out, sending a green beam down to
earth, "says

Digital image processing is so advanced these days that it would be easy to dismiss the
above picture as simply having been “Photo-shopped”, but this is not the case.
According to spaceweather.com (as well as several Norwegian-language news sources
which do this author little good!) ,sky-watchers throughout northern Norway spotted this
amazing phenomenon in the heavens on the night of Dec 8-9, 2009.
No one knows for sure what it was, but here is the account from Nick Banbury, who

Strange spiral in sky over Norway: UFO?

No one knows for sure what it was, but here is the account from Nick Banbury, who
witnessed the event from Harstad, Norway:
“It consisted initially of a green beam of light similar in color to the aurora with a
mysterious rotating spiral at one end….this spiral then got bigger and bigger until it
turned into a huge halo in the sky with the green beam extending down to the earth.
According to the press, this could be seen all over northern Norway and must therefore
have been very high up in the atmosphere to be seen hundreds of km apart”
Some say it my have been a Russian rocket careening out of control, but the tight-lipped
Russians deny this at present. I'll be keeping an eye on this story for further
developments.
But it is still a mystery as to what created this fantastic sight. If you're a SETI kind of
person, perhaps the aliens have at last arrived, but I don't recommend gambling on that
in Vegas.

More data, thoughts and suggestions here:
To start the ball rolling - a suggestion:
Malfunctioning Russian Missile or was it the 'Blue Ray Project' (see below)?

More regarding Operation Blue Beam.
From Paul Anderson in England:
Hi Colin
When first looking at these images, the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it looks
like the light is being projected up from the ground into the sky? Of course, it could be a
complete reversal and infact, it is being projected downwards?
In all these kinds of cases however, I find it odd that there are no witnesses at ground zero,
ie, over the tree line. It may well be, that it is in the middle of nowhere? but I guess it would be
good if someone went out there and had a look??
The other thing that needs to be considered, is the effect that the projection is having on the
immediate surroundings.
the stuff that is glowing? is it the clouds being manipulated, or is it material from the beam?
It is quite odd to see it dissipate into darkness at the end. in my opinion, this is not UFO, but
without all the facts, who knows? very pretty all the same.

presumably a long exposure - be sure to see video below.
