Mysterious Light Spotted In Sky Over Norway
NORWAY -- A mysterious blue light transfixed residents in the north of Norway last night.
Thousands of witnesses are struggling to explain exactly what they were looking at.
Pictures and video footage of the strange swirling blue light in the sky do not help much in the way of determining what caused the UFO.
Neither meteorologists, astronomers, or the Armed Forces have offered a solution to the matter.
Witnesses who first glimpsed the space show described seeing a spinning wheel-style spiral of white light, centred around a bright moon-like star.
A blue "streaming tail" appeared to anchor the spiral to earth, before the light "exploded" into a rotating ring of white fire."
Elin must have hit another one.

It was the death star....from what I understand, it should be operational sometime late in 2012.

In my experience, this sort of thing always ends up being an alien invasion.
And never college students with access to electricity.

Wasn't this how "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" started out?

From looking at the video, it looked like the wormhole opening at Bajor. I was expecting to see the Dominion fleet come through.

I think it was Ezekial's Chariot. When he realized where he was he did a donut and headed for home. Maybe one of those Spinning Chariot Wheels of Fire from Revelation. mmmmmmmmmmmmm:innocent:

Maybe they finally fired up CERN, and that blackhole theory has some validity to it...
Turns out Earth really is a cosmic toilet, and someone just flushed.

That's disappointing.

Don't fall for the logical explanation. I think Balllon Boy and Pop Up Squirell did this to get rid of Nessie and BigFoot.

I'm still hoping for a more unexplainable explanation to arise, oxymoronically.

The Romanians have entered the Space Race.
Could be Klingons or Romulans transporting a scouting party?
Looks like something is circling Uranus again captain.

This will be a buzzkill. This event reminded me something I had almost forgotten. 1964 or 65, I saw something sort of like that from Ft. Myers Fl. Before sunrise, I was delivering Miami Herald newspapers on a Dunelt bicycle. It was in the general direction of Cape Canaveral. It could of been a Polaris missile test from a sub offshore. It was a "One of a Kind" for me. Never saw anything like it 'til now.
Oxymoronically , try delivering Sunday Miami Heralds on a Dunelt.
Maybe the Norwegians were shooting fireworks off in celebration of one of their own potentially hitting second place on the "money earned" from golf scorecard.

One of the 'spiral' photos looks almost computer generated - almost a perfect spiral.

I am still awaiting my anal probe darn it.
Kids in the Hall skit:
Dave: Yeah. What's the point of what we do?
Kevin: Sorry, I don't follow you
[Kevin sits down]
Dave: Well, I mean, we travel 250,000 light years across the universe, abduct humans, probe them anally and release them.
Kevin: Yeah... AND?
Dave: Well, doesn't it seem kind of point-LESS?
Kevin: I really don't think about it.
Dave: Well don't you think you should?
Kevin: No, I don't think I should. I don't think I should question the leadership of our Great Leader
Dave: Oh, come on! I mean, we've been coming here for 50 years and performing anal probes and all that we have learned is that 1 in10 doesn't really seem to mind.
