#329531 - 29/01/2010 20:32 Norwegian spiral anomaly
Mojo Unregistered	This thing appeared in the Norwegian sky in the early morning hours about a month and a half ago. After spinning for a couple minutes it seemed to implode into a pitch black sphere. Video of the spiral An early theory was that it was some sort of a Russian missile test, which the Russians denied. Now the Russians are saying, yes, it was a missile test.

It really did look like a wormhole or some other strange otherwordly phenomenon. The spiral shape was so mathematically perfect and so brilliantly colored that it certainly looked like anything but a rocket booster. I guess that its unspoiled shape and its pure color was because it was so high up in the thinnest layers of the atmosphere. _________________________ Tony Fabris

Mojo Unregistered	We all know how truthful the Russian government can be. It seems too much like an easy explanation to dismiss it and forget about it. It's kinda humorous (and intriguing) that it was an eventful day at the large hadron collider on the very same day as the spiral. Quote from the article: Quote: The various tinfoil-chapeau'd LHC doom prophets, who believe that the mighty experiment is sure to destroy the world and/or universe in some kind of black-hole blunder, runaway conceptual custardisation process, "collaptical explosion" etc, will no doubt be hugely frustrated today. Yet again, the promised apocalypse has failed to materialise. Those laymen who follow quality science analysis, meanwhile, are well aware that the LHC is not in fact a doomsday machine - but it does have the potential to create a portal from our humdrum 4D space-time to some as yet unknown extradimensional continuum*.

Why did the spiral dissipate, yet the trail extending down to the right (in the image and video) did not? Dunno. Maybe different conditions at various altitudes? I wonder why the spiral is round, and not oblique. This implies that the spinning, side-spewing missile was on a path directly towards or away from the camera. _________________________ 10101311 (20GB- backup empeg) 10101466 (2x60GB, Eutronix/GreenLights Blue) (Stolen!)
