Dec 9 2009Mysterious Portal Opens In Sky Above Norway

A mysterious light appeared in the sky above Norway last night, causing many citizens to call the Meteorological Institute and others to go back to bed. Me? Suspecting it was a time portal, I would have strapped on a rocketpack and flown right into the middle of it. DINOSAURS HERE I COOOOOOOME!
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.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.
Many are claiming the lights were caused by a Russian missile launch gone wrong, but I think there's a simpler, must more logical explanation: evil wizard mad scientist.
Hit the jump for a bunch more pictures and two videos of the laser light show (mystery solved) in action.

Its not a rocket, thats final.
Its some Alien lost in space and time, who's looking for mama to feed him, but soon as he found the milk bottle he stopped crying ! Problem Solved

This is obviously created by the Large Hadron Collider. And its either a very large Mini Black hole that will swallow the earth, or Sparticles. see video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk8Vr00EBHA&feature=related

It actually looks like a single image of a photoshop twirl filter, the static still image is then being rotated, the pattern actually almost matches the default twirl filter exactly.
31. einoj - December 9, 2009 2:39 PM
Lol, why would there be a laser show in the middle of nowhere? seriously there's nothing but military bases, reindeer and an oil refinery up there.
32. waffenmausSS - December 9, 2009 2:46 PM
didn't i see something like this in Howard the Duck? that part were the guy who played Lydia's dad in Beetlegeuse gets turned into a big super-scary monster? oops, i mean, a big fake-looking monster - i saw that flick when i was like seven and those guys (not to mention Howard) really gave me the heebie jeebies...
33. DrNecropolis - December 9, 2009 2:53 PM
You could get that effect, or a similar one by using a model plane or some similar small flying object and putting on a firework similar to the the spinny ones you get on the fourth of july, that you know...spin...in a circle...Then lgiht and launch. Depending on the height and the amount of moisture in the atmosphere it can be various colors, not to mention what ever chemicals you use in the creation of the firework
34. KPRussell - December 9, 2009 2:57 PM
Why else? To get world wide exposure from a stunt.
35. darwyn4 - December 9, 2009 3:10 PM
it's projected and it's very obvious
36. sarah - December 9, 2009 3:19 PM
Firstly that looks creepy as hell.
Secondly, they've said the Russians 'aggressively' deny any rocket launch, but some Norweigans say that there were warnings about a rocket test in that area...
Thirdly, that Hadron Collider broke down for a reason beyond our humanity, I am sure of it.
37. Trioxinator - December 9, 2009 3:22 PM
@ 35 I agree, it's not like we've never seen a laser light show before....point it at the sky, and wammo.....get your 15 minutes on the interweb.
38. mike - December 9, 2009 3:34 PM
this was obviously an interdimensional space traveler who accidentally botched his calculations, and instead of teleporting to the ground, dropped himself at about 20,000 ft above norway. and then promptly fell to his death.

Update, According to the Norwegian Newspaper Aftenposten. For those of you who cannot read Norwegian. Its basically saying that the Russians have been shooting a long distance rocket from a submarine. The rocket failed, and lit up the sky with a spiral light.
43. Aaron - December 9, 2009 3:55 PM
@38 I like the way you think, But I must disagree. I think it was Time traveling Vikings from an alternate dimension come here to help prepare for the rise of the machines and join in the epic war. But thats my theory.
44. I'm cool - December 9, 2009 3:56 PM
@28 - Remember when Antoninus was all, "Are you afraid to die, Sparticles?" And Sparticles goes, "No more than I was to be born." That was the shit.

I've actually seen some odd phenomena in the sky lately.. i live in Ashland ky, the in the ohio,w. virginia, ky tristate area (home of none other than billy ray, [and ashley judd]) and the other day my friend and i saw perfect beams of light coming from the horizon and it looked exactly like the beams of read on a japanese flag, yet the sun was behind us. It was really strange they were very contrasted against the sky and easily visible anyone ever seen that before? I'll try and shop a representation.

It's Spock coming through the black hole...the spiral trail is from his spinning ship...Obviously.
64. Ocelot - December 9, 2009 8:27 PM
Projected or not, that looks creepy as hell! Maybe it's a town portal from Diablo 2. I wouldn't go in there, it's probably the secret cow level inside.

(Correcting the above comment) I've seen Youtube videos headline UFO on this interesting phenomenon. Maybe Flight 19 will appear. You never know.
74. douglas brown - December 10, 2009 1:52 AM
i think the light was a missile or some other earthly projectile entering into the sun or moons lights entering the earths atmosphere at the same time the question is was the ending abrupt or did it fizizle out slowly as the light was seen from miles away!!!!!!

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going, going...

nice.
EM resonance testing. not yet perfect either. if yo don't believe me check the 3D projections of an exploding or imploding (cat really say since it's 4D) hyperthyroid.
if they manage to make it right the hyperthyroid will conserve the energy to become a constant ball of light and stay there (in the quad space, in our space (3) it can have any movement or speed you might think of) without any input for a long time.
this is the holy grail of subspace telecommunication. think on playing WOW with 3million in the same time without lag.

83. Spurfhead Jones - December 10, 2009 8:07 PM
Missle, no way, ufo, not likely.. If you go to google earth and see how close Geneva switzerland is to Oslo, the only thing that makes sense is the mad scientists who are testing the Large Hadron Collinder and trying to create antimatter decided to see if they could create black matter or a black hole.. whatever it was it wasn't created by mother earth.. and no matter how pretty it is, it can't be good. These idiots should not be playing with Mother Nature.. I just love listening to the mainstream media though, these brainwashing sheeple who are trying to explain this "Phenomanon" as opposed to just telling the truth.. Look to the skies.. your eyes don't lie..!!!!
84. CosmoStarMan - December 10, 2009 10:52 PM
There is definately a lot of alien activity on planet Earth (see my website), but.... the big thing about the rotating spiral was it's hypnotic effect. They won't even show this type of spiral on tv because it would leave a lot of people in a hypnotic stupor. It could have been a portal or stargate but I'm more inclined to think it was connected to the russian's project blue beam. After all they were the ones telling aircraft to stay out of that area three days prior to this occurance. If it was connected to aliens then it is possible they sent a ray to wack a missle that the russian's were going to try to launch. Whatever it was, it wasn't what the russians said it was. They don't tell us about their advanced technological developments and they sure don't tell us about their failures. They never have and they arn't going to start now.

Why is everyone so ready to believe in UFOs? Do you know our world is controlled by occult politicians. Do you know they participate in things like seances, and satanic rituals? Have you heard of the Bohemian Grove? I do not profess to know exactly what this is, but I KNOW it is not a result of a missile test gone awry. I know of an attempt by Jack Parsons and another occultist to perform a ritual called the Babalon Working, which was designed to open a portal to another dimension whereby demons and fallen angels could pass into our dimension. This was done I believe back in the late 40's early fifties. That is also about the time people started reporting seeing UFOs. Aleister Crowley drew a picture of the "angel" he was in communication with. It looks oddly like what people describe aliens as looking like. This may be another portal opening or a test of "Project Blue Beam", but we can be sure it was no rocket.
100. NEXIS - December 23, 2009 7:05 AM
The special galactic force of the ray, will intercept the sky density of which it was enabled, to create a spiral. This may prohibit many beams, within the nebular. E.g. Take a beam of light, add the sky mass. this creates a sequence of unfortunate substitutes.
