This isn't the 1950's, you can't blame every weird event on the Russians anymore.
Yeah, except for the fact that the Russians have completely admitted to afailed test of a Bulava right there.

That's because it's not the Aurora Borealis. That's not what it looks like, and it doesn't appear that low in the sky.

Well, 2 days ago Russia flat-out denied this being a missile. The very next day... Russia fully takes responsibility for it. I really don't buy the missile thing. How do you explain the other things like the fact of it having two starting points for the spiral?

How? Easily. Poor recreation of effects by someone(s) trying to depict what they couldn't get a shot of. More probably, a simple photographic effect caused byt the very fact of it being an elapsed photo.

So, the Russians grand plan is to hypnotize the world starting with Norway! If Norwegians start quacking like ducks Putin will have become the greatest stage magician of all time. :)

There are many photos. And there is video footage as well. Are you saying they were all affected?

I'm saying that it's more plausible than conspiracy theories. Why would Russia admit to a failed test if it didn't happen?

Because they were actually testing... something else! *cue spooky music*

This Youtube Video seems plausable, if the blue spray were a rupture in a fuel tank of a missile which can cover 5000 miles, and the yellow were exhaust.

In this amateur footage it looks like a failing missile, especially around 35 seconds in, the photos above seem like CGI representations of what happened

Could make a good Emoticon for something unexplainable!
