Spiral Lights Over Norway Baffle Meteorologists, This is creepy.

I think there is more to this than being told, but I'm agreeing to a certain point with Herding cats. I read lots of info on this awhile back on a site called "AbovetopSecret.com

Actually, know what it looks like to me? As much as I'd like to think it's a new sort of phenom...

IF - there was a rocket/missle shot, and it lost it's trajectory somehow (GIGO? Software mal?), and was going to destroy a city...a quick thrust just before it expodes would allow it to regain some altitude, change trajectory, and thus explode higher.

Thrusters on one side would create the spiral effect - the "spinning" aspect to the photos; there is clearly a shockwave post explosion (even in the first vid); and there is definitely some sort of explosion (again from the first vid). Other vids back it up, whether man-made, enhanced, or "au-naturel".

It really seems like it's a gone-wrong rocket launch...with some last minute maneuvering which managed to save some lives.

As to why we're not hearing of it...the DoD knows what it was, and has squashed media response. It is pretty scary to think that this sort of missle/rocket is out there (although we ALL have it), and the DoD can in fact exercise it's muscles and in the interests of national safety prevent stories from being in the media (as much as we'd like to think otherwise), so...

I want to think it's some new phenom...but I just can't. Hope I explained what I saw well enough...

I'm still sticking with a hoax. The explosion looks very much like the exploding death star in Star Wars episode 4. JMO.

please don't tell me that a missile almost destroyed a city in my country
I'd rather bury my head in the sand and pretend it's a hoax tyvm

 

[LadyL]

hmmm, first video down already

 

[LadyL]

I'm with you SteelyDan - that video is way too 'professional' - perfectly framed and not the least bit shaky

I'm going with hoax so I can sleep properly tonight lol

 

[Herding Cats]

LOL, it really might be a hoax...and I am not a conspiracy theorist whatsoever. And of course, whatever allows one to sleep at night is a good thing (I take things to sleep...I know the value of sleep...).

I will say that while things may have looked like the "Death Star" explosion, there are things in movies which are based on physics and real life; how things really react and work in a) vacuums and b) mass v. energy v. velocity...not to mention gravity and all sorts of other wonderful and really amazing things (like denseness of atmosphere at certain levels, and ability to move things through space).

There is an entire industry on the physics of Star Trek (although I don't watch the show), and of course lots of things that man can first imagine, scientists can make real later.

If we are advanced enough to create large particle collisions (Hadron Collider), and we are...we can certainly create things like this. It's a fairly simple explanation (although I'm neither a physicist nor a teacher), and to me, it's far easier to sleep at night thinking it's a man-made thing v. a new space phenom or supernatural thing, or...whatever else my overactive imagination can create. LOL.

If it's debunked, so much the better. I can sleep well at night with that answer.

Well, that didn't take long; Linky

Canadian UFO Spiral hoaxer comes forward
May 24, 8:30 AM Pacific Time - TheWeatherSpace Space Stories - Betty Morgan

What looked like numerous photographs and videos of a ship entering the cosmos was actually put together by not a team, but one person.

Kevin Martin, a Southern California Weatherman has come forward as the hoaxer to what is likely the biggest hoax ever created.

Martin claims he e-mailed the material to TheWeatherSpace.com in an effort to test a theory of his out.

"Who is more gullible, Americans or Europeans?", asked Martin. "A growing number of conspiracy theorists are American, while Europe seems to have their head on straighter to the facts. I decided to test it out with a half done CGI video and photoshop photo stills, sending it to Betty Morgan at TheWeatherSpace.com Space News section."

Martin claims that his theory was correct, Europeans have a better handle on reality than Americans.


At the above link you can find the new video he made and This page has the original video.

Is that debunking the Canadian one, or the Norway one? Both? (ETA) My reading is that it's from the Canada one, not the Norway one...I'm wondering about the Norway one...or are they the same thing?

Hello? Anyone seen my poor headie? It apparently has spun right off. Grin

Just Canada's. The Norway one was real. It was explained as a failed rocket launch.

I still get the feeling that somehow Lexiintoronto has something to do with this. :waitasec:
