Mystery as spiral blue light display hovers above Norway

Mystery as spiral blue light display hovers above Norway

Read more: HERE

Personally, I don't think there is much of a mystery here. In the video you can clearly see the rocket spinning out of control and exploding. Sadly I suspect the UFO nuts, and front page prophecy folks, will try to exploit this event. This was not an alien spacecraft nor was it the return of Christ. It was a Russian rocket that misfired and exploded. That said, it was a spectacular light show.

When I was a boy I lived on the Atlantic coast of Florida north of Cape Kennedy. One night they did some sort of rocket test and it left what I can only describe as a big purple grape in the sky. It looked like a hollow purple globe, very pretty. No one knew what it was until it was reported on the news the next day.

I would have loved to have seen this, very impressive.

You people don't get it.

The light was blue.

It's Christmastime.

Thus, this was a K-Mart promotion.

Foxnews was saying that it was from a Russian Nuclear sub testing an ICBM...over Norway...while many heads of state were gathered there...

Okay, seriously, there has got to be more to this. Why in the world is Russia testing ICBMs?

To send a message to Obama... reminding him that they are not impressed with "the one" and that Russia is a force to be reckoned with.

No doubt Russia sees Obama as their opportunity to once again be a dominant player in the world.

Of course, and they accomplished that by a failed rocket test. I'd be afraid.

Amazing, a story about mystery lights over Norway has been turned into an anti-Obama thread in a little over a page.

I doubt since Putin's been pootin' along, that they've ever not tested ICBM's.

But...
1. This was a new type, and thus putting more tests into it was S.O.P. I don't think Russia has developed many new missles in recent years...so these tests (there were many).
2. I do think that it was a "message" to the US...reminding us that as we deal with islamo-terrorists, that there are other powers in play

Vladimir Putin worries me. A lot.

But, I am puzzled by a couple of things:

1. Why did they choose where they did to pitch the missle? There are other avenues, ar more less travelled.

2. Why now? You've got two major events--the treehugger symposium in Copenhaagen-dasz, and the Obama Award for Good Intentions (Nobel prize) in Oslo. Lots of muckety-mucks up there...and "war games" would be intensely unpopular. The timing just suprised me.

Unlike PiJ, I'm not really surprised that they are testing ICBM's (I doubt they really ever stopped). But I was suprised at the timing, and the likelihood of a PR mess for the Russians.

Sorry...my "Obama's halo" was more a joke about his being in Norway, and the timing of such.

You just know that the Danes & Norwegians don't like it a bit, with their huge events going on and all...

I doubt that their intent was for the test to fail.

No - not an anti-Obama thread - simply answering a question asked of "why".

Have you another answer for the question of why then and there?

They have always done their missile testing in the North Sea. Norway had been notified in advance.

If it had not failed no one would have noticed - hardly a great way to intimidate world leaders.

Does anyone think that the US is not still carrying on secret ICBM testing?

I'd like to check out 1894 - the last time we had a non-globalist administration in Washington.

Ken, seriously, this is like an obsessive compulsion with you.

It ain't healthy, dude.

You're going to end up in a tower somewhere with a scope.
