| | | | The pictures looks strikingly photoshopped. The videos and presence on major Norwegian newspaper websites have me thinking otherwise, though. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | Those vids aren't nearly as dramatic as the photos.
The vids do look like some missle spinning out of control.
If I saw something like those photos, I'd probably crap my pants, grab a bible and yell for mommy all at the same time. |

| | | SHOPPED!
Or they're looking in the wrong place HAHAHA they'll never catch me again.

|  | Evil Alien | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Sacramento, CA | | | The photos look photoshopped because they are really zoomed-in on to make the spiral bigger in the photo so that it looks like it filled half the sky.
After seeing videos, I am 95% convinced that it was a rocket malfunction. Having seen a couple of launches after dark from a few hundred miles away, I know how weird the plumes can look as they are lit up by the sun when the rest of the sky is dark, because the plume is high enough. And a spiraling ascending rocket will leave a corkscrew trail which will disperse depending on the air currents, but rocket trails can stay highly visible for a long time and go through color changes as the angle of the sunlight changes.

How could this be shopped if there were numerous witnesses?

Lutefisk?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: San Francisco | | | just added some more links to other photos. since clearly, they are coming from different locations, sources, I gotta say, it's probably NOT photoshop.
I'm thinking along the lines of a wayward spiraling missile...as lunarpollen stated.
