Uh, Oh...The Scandi Menace Has Taken An Ominous Turn
— DrewM

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

More pictures of the light, form different vantage points here.

Clearly the Scandis are outpacing us in the next generation of laser light shows. We can not let this Laserium gap widen!

Actually, perhaps it's simply a cosmic sign designed to confirm that Obama is The Chosen One. I mean this light appeared over Norway, Obama is going to Norway to accept his ~~Cracker Jack~~ Nobel Peace Prize. Coincidence? I think not.

Update: Enhanced image shows true meaning of the light.

Thanks to Alice H. for the image and Eddie for sending it along. You can find both of them and several other familiar names over at Doubleplusundead.

and this looks like lasers...

the blur in the pics is from the amount of time the aperture is open in the camera to collect the light.

Well, it's probably not a laser, since it appears to have curved light. A 2 stage missile that had a broken stabilizer and spun around before another stage fired a straight 'beam'? Or a loitering spiral and a later targeting strike?

I dunno. It's creepy and beautiful.

30 After the aliens vaporized every living thing in Scandinavia, Obama issued a statement that the world should not jump to any conclusions; and he would present an unclenched fist with an offer to talk to the aliens without any preconditions.

97 I don't know that this was that huge. I mean, it was big, probably, but scale in the sky can be difficult to narrow down. All the shots seem to come from the same general area, so I think it wasn't nearly as big as it looks on my screen.

It was a spinning missile. The Russian military technology lives down to its terrible reputation.

Not that I mind jokes about stargates and wormholes, but if this was a wormhole, it was a wormhole that someone made to look like a missile spinning out of control.

Here's several shots of a missile test gone haywire over the coast of South Korea in the 1980s. Look familiar? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

Seriously,

The US has a upper atmosphere ionization experiment in Alaska that uses microwaves to create a plasma in the upper atmosphere.

That plasma is electrically conductive and the corkscrew image is the beam coming back to ground. The electron beam corkscrews around a magnetic force line.

Or something like that.

Compare this effect.

Now leave out the ring, and imagine doing this by projecting an image from the ground--projecting onto the same atmospheric conditions that produce a moon halo. They're created when ice crystals are floating around in the atmosphere.

With a big enough projector, this would be easy. Imagine shining a flashlight into thick fog. But! Place a disk in front of the beam so that a dark "hole" exists in the middle of the blob of light being reflected back.

Also, note that there's a cone of light eminating from the ground. Big projector. Big laser. Something like that.

Naw. They bought the technology from the Chinese. It involves melamine and antifreeze.

#115, Blazer, he's talking about the Kirk Douglas/Martin Sheen movie where the USS Nimitz was pulled back in time to 6 December 1941 and was trying to stop the Pearl Harbor attack when it was pulled back to now.

Hell of a movie for the flying scenes alone. Made VF-84's "Jolly Rogers" the world's most famous fighter squadron since Richtofen's Flying Circus overnight.

Yea, I know. They played that movie at least a million times on HBO in the early eighties. It also starred James Farentino, Katherine Ross, and Charles Durning.

140 The video showing the spiral looks a lot like what happens when the stabilizing fin fell of my Estes rocket. it spun making a spiral cloud. I'm guessing there's rocketry at work... Were the Norks invited?

In fact, I believe "salmon" is Nowegian codeword for Soylent Green. It goes under the code words "vegamite" and "marmite" in Britain and Australia.

148 #140, if you had HBO in the early '80's you suck. My street was far enough out we didn't get wired for cable until 1990, and then my parents were STILL too cheap to get anything other than basic.

The lights in the sky over Norway is an obvious projection from the ground. The Â“blue swirlÂ” in the middle is an interference pattern generated due to the use of multiple projectors.

My guess, it is supposed to provide a dramatic scene for the end of Nobel proceedings or yet another Obama stunt much like the Â“Roman columns.Â”
