A giant spiral cloud-thing appeared over Norway yesterday, shot out a big blue light, and disappeared again. Suspicion is on a failed missile test, but I'll be damned if this looks like any missile I've ever seen.

If this turns out to be viral marketing then somebody deserves a long, savage beating.

Gotta be fake. Cool space things as a rule look way cooler than that.

I don't think it's fake... huffpo, CNN and -- for reference -- the wiki on shock diamonds or mach diamonds, which would cause the phasing of the blue light visible as tail above.

The actual videos of this are not as impressive as those photos at the top of the thread. Looks like something spriraling away though rather than lights shining down.
