Video: The freaky quadruple deaky Norway UFO
posted at 4:50 pm on December 9, 2009 by Allahpundit
An historic occasion, my friends. In the long, long history of freaky material posted at HA — bigfoot videos, disembodied talking robot heads, muppets covering Queen — this may well be the very deakiest.
Isn’t this the thing Bruce Campbell got sucked into at the end of “Evil Dead 2″?
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.
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…
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.
That blue spiral seems awfully tight for a missile gone awry, but Pop Sci’s also leaning towards that explanation and notes that a similar spiral was seen over China earlier this year. Hmmmm. Other possibilities: (1) test run for a new Norwegian death ray; (2) divine sign heralding the Messiah’s arrival in Oslo; (3) mini-black hole caused by Hadron collider misfire; (4) aliens, aliens, aliens. All theories welcome!

And Odin, seeing his people invaded by Barbarians from the Deserts of the far South… opened the Gates of Valahala which lead to the Bifrost Bridge…
And Thor led the Heroes of Valhala across the bridge to battle…
/well… one can dream anyway…

Allahp I am concerned about your use of the multiple “deaky” levels of “freaky”. I happen to believe either something is “freaky deaky” or it is not. I can see how artistic liscence would allow for a freaky “double” deaky in times of extreme circumstances but anthing more would be too much. Triple deaky or more is akin to using a firehose on a soda cracker. More than would ever be necessary.
Please take this into consideration.

You may have a point… but in the Man Book of Rules, it does have the Double Dog vs. Triple Dog Dare Rule.
However, that may be an exceptional circumstance and thus an invalid comparison.

As a sci-fi fan… I don’t know, it could be the Or’I coming after SG-1 and our Stargate and that’s their massive Stargate opening up with their starships coming through. Or, it could be Thor and the Asgards coming to protect us from the Or’I or remaining Goa’uld. I suggest we send our President to apologize for messing with inter-galaxy politics!
Maybe its from the Delta Quadrant, the Borg are coming through, finally sick and tired of a couple measly human starships and their captains beating them. Or, they’re the Jem’Hadar and they finally decided to make a full-on assault of Earth.
Maybe it’s the aliens from V who have realized one of their own now controls a major nation….
cebj25 on December 9, 2009 at 5:33 PM
Working hypothesis:
Rockey with burn-through hole in casing (ala Challenger), causing off-axis thrust (hence the spiral, which is not too fast for that kind of scenario. In fact it is about the same rate I have seen Sidewinders do in videos). Thus, you have a center light and combustion products, which are at high temperature and thus glow on their own.
Black hole at end is possibly release of unburned liquid propellants due to breakup of rocket due to aerodynamic overload.
Flourine propellant?
Horatius on December 9, 2009 at 5:33 PM
Suddenly? I have been hearing it since Allah posted it in the headlines.

Rocket with burn-through hole also.

I would think Tiger has more to worry about than Ace at this time. I think that strange phenomenon was actually Elin’s evil eye gaze. She had to direct it to the sky so as not to harm any nearby innocents.

Paleasee. Can we be serious for just one minute here.
Now it is obvious you people were NOT paying attention in science class. Probably day dreaming, weren’t you?
This is nothing more than a Worm-Hole in the space-time continuum for inter-dimensional transport between our Universe and that Other Universe.
Its like Gravity. It exists.
Either that or it has something to do with the Cattle Mutilations.

I don’t see anything unusual here. This is a powerful spot light with a lens similar to an iris. When the iris closes, the light becomes a ring. When it opens, the ring disappears. I don’t see any spaceship.

It’s embarrassing that someone who considers himself a skeptic, would post a video of a search light and call it freaky deaky.
Where’s that vaunted skepticism when it is actually called for?

Uh. WTF? That’s strange. Looks like something that came out of a sci-fi movie.

This is obviously caused by CO2 and greenhouse emissions. The cows may have had something to do with it as well.

B) Somewhere a TV producer’s abused dartboard is happy that you enjoyed the fruits of its sacrifice.

Jump gate opening! It’s the Vorlons vs. the Shadows!
Aaaaaghhhh! We’re DOOMED!
OK, back to reality. The first thing that gets my hoax-meter clanging is this: WHY are there SO MANY videos of this thing from so many sources? How did a bunch of Norwegians know to suddenly start recording using their cell phones, digicams, camcorders, WHATEVER, all at the SAME TIME…as this thing started off???? To me, THAT’S the suspicious part.
I will agree that it is one of the deakiest freaky UFO vids I’ve ever seen, however. If this is photoshopped, it’s a great job. If it’s not, I agree…WAY spooky.

It’s not like Norway is full of backwards farmers…they do have cell phones and cameras…
JetBoy on December 9, 2009 at 7:05 PM
That’s exactly what it is. No question. The stream of light (smoke) was coming FROM the ground. Not TO the ground and the stream of smoke was iluminated by the light of the firework.
If the reverse were true then the conical shape would have been larger at the bottom. A Laser would not be conical so it was not a laser.

Wrong. So far, every explanation has it coming TO the ground…HERE is the most viable explanation…but not the final one me thinks…
JetBoy on December 9, 2009 at 7:12 PM
If it’s anything like crop circles, even if the culprits demonstrated how they did it, people still wouldn’t believe them.
FloatingRock on December 9, 2009 at 7:13 PM
Jetboy,
I wasn’t implying Norwegians were a bunch of backwoods farmers. Or primitive in any respect. Please don’t twist my words around.
I was suggesting that the TIMING of so many people seemingly being in place as a matter of pure happenstance, to film this thing using WHATEVER means, from the very start to the very finish of it, seemed VERY questionable.
That’s ALL I meant to imply. Nothing more than that.
Shirotayama on December 9, 2009 at 7:16 PM
Jet sweetie, look at the mountain. Where the two mounds are. There is some “light” coming off of it. And if you look past the mountians, it is WAY past sunset.
I am thinking it is something shot up into the sky at the ice crystals.

Wrong. That was a video of a simulation. Stop the first video provided above at the 17 second mark. That is the actual event and clearly shows a trail of smoke just as I suggested.
AnthonyK on December 9, 2009 at 7:19 PM
You may be right but, how do they get the image to stop right there like it’s on a screen?

Sven mixed the Glögg with the lutefisk….
gbear on December 9, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Ice Crystals are kind of neat. Not sure where you live. But when it gets REALL cold here in AK, the lights do a wierd funnel and stream upward. Now that is cold at ground level and I am talking -20 and a very clear night. Now Imagine a few thousand feet in the air?
What I want to know is HOW they made it spiral!
upinak on December 9, 2009 at 7:22 PM
I dunno…I really dunno. It’s freaky, regardless.
You live up in “strange light” country…doesn’t the sun, especially this time of year, reflect and refract in strange ways? Even after sundown?
I shoulda paid more attention in class…
JetBoy on December 9, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Smoke? Maybe. But certainly not “clearly”…
JetBoy on December 9, 2009 at 7:26 PM
I live in Colorado. It’s been real cold here the last few days. At night the headlights off of cars looked like they were pointing strainght up but, the didn’t just stop mid-air and form an image. They kept going up and up. So, how did they get the image to form in mid-air like that? Wouldn’t the light just keep traveling until it hit something solid? It would have had to be a very dense formation of ice crystals right there. It does look cloudy though it could have just been on the clouds.
boomer on December 9, 2009 at 7:27 PM
1. Who the hell thought that that was a Russian missile?
2. Who thinks that the Russians would admit to it even if they did fire it?
Glenn Jericho on December 9, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Oh please…this is just their version of Improv Everywhere! You know, they do have a lot of time on their hands, being socialist citizens and all….
lsutiger on December 9, 2009 at 7:28 PM
It’s a Russian Balava solid-fuel sub-launched missile, which has had a long and disastrous development program.
Looks like it was spiraling out of control, perhaps due to a ruptured engine nozzle, got a little too close to Norway, and the Russians detonated the self-destruct charges. The charges blew the top off the solid-rocket motor casing, which created a huge amount of reverse thrust, bringing the missile to a dead stop. The spiraling missile then became a pinwheel, spewing out exhaust until it ran out of fuel, making the best fireworks display evah!
Meanwhile, the Russians, not wanting to admit their piece of cr@p missile was hurtling towards Norway, deny everything.
All in all, I’d call it a successful test. Let’s do it again!
ZenDraken on December 9, 2009 at 7:29 PM
yeah it does. You see all kinds of things. A few of those pics look like the aurora right before it starts dancing. Ice Crystals can do strange things.. sun dogs, it can make mirages of all kinds, and it can also blind you.

The atmosphere does some wierd stuff when it gets cold. One night when it was -30 F I saw a complete rainbow around the moon. But I get what you are saying.
If it were projected onto a cloud, wouldn’t it be more warped though??? I mean a cloud isn’t exactly a flat surface.
Glenn Jericho on December 9, 2009 at 7:32 PM
I wish I could tell you why I saw a rainbow at -25, in the middle of the night, clear and cold as hell and only the moon shining. But I can’t!
upinak on December 9, 2009 at 7:36 PM
One day I’ll get up to Alaska and see this stuff…
heh, mentioning “sun dogs” reminded me of the short by Stephen King, “The Sun Dog”…now THAT was a freaky story!
