I am sticking to this line of reasoning until another, more logical is provided.

kottila said:Actually they are all saying it was a russian missile, but the Norwegian military don't want to give us all the details because they want to keep their tracking specs secret.
and it's a well known Russian training place:

SmokyDave said:This whole thing makes no sense to me. I'm not buying the missile theory at all, that looks nothing like one would expect from a missile launch, failed or otherwise. I'm still thinking it's a hoax.

does anyone speak mandarin? It spins one direction, then TURNS and spins the other direction! WTF

Xdrive05 said:That does seem to reduce the likelihood of the rocket theory. On the other hand, the "two stage" explanation seems pretty good to account for the two different patterns created there. But then there's the way the smoke looks (coloration) which seems intuitively NOT like how a rocket would look. But that's only intuition.
I know it's a tall order, but it would be great to be able to replicate the effect using a rocket intentionally, to see if it would be similar. That could put the whole thing to rest, with SCIENCE!
Astronomers rejected that the light could be associated with the aurora borealis or northern lights. The Russian Ministry of Defence later confirmed that a failed launch (due to malfunctioning of the third stage) of a Bulava missile has taken place from the Dmitry Donskoy submarine, located in the White Sea.
Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the HarvardSmithsonian Center for Astrophysics, suggested that the unusual light display occurred when the missile's third stage nozzle was damaged, causing the exhaust to come out sideways and sending the missile into a spin.
Norwegian celebrity astronomer Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard commented that he first speculated that it was a fireball meteor, but rejected that possibility because the light lasted too long. He also pointed out the the area over which the light had been observed was exceptionally large, covering all of Northern Norway and Trøndelag. Another possibility is a rare, never-before-seen Northern Lights variant
Yup, sounds about right to me. I don't know how much you know about failed missile launches (I'm an expert)....kottila said:Evidence for fake:
TheExecutive and SmokyDave (internet experts) thinks the missile dosen't act like it should

So the aliens didn't take you away?TheDoppelganger said:SCIENCE apparently doesn't know SHIT since all these supposed "scientists" can't figure out what this simple thing IS!
Where are the big brains of the world? This should be easy cheesee. Where's ol' Hawkings at? Wheel his ass out there and inform all us morons what the deal is.
science..... HA

Russian defense ministry confirms it was a failed missile test.
A rocket spiraling around and leaking fuel. Y'know, shit that happens when shit breaks.mckmas8808 said:But how does a missile do that?

LONDON: An experiment
that fires powerful radio waves into the sky has created a patch of 'artificial ionosphere', mimicking the uppermost

portion of Earth's atmosphere.
According to a report in Nature News, the experiment is called the 'High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program' (HAARP), near Gakona, Alaska.
It has spent nearly two decades using radio waves to probe Earth's magnetic field
and ionosphere.
One of the most obvious results of the experiments is that they can create lights in the sky that are similar to auroras, the glowing curtains of light that naturally appear in the polar skies when electrons and other charged particles pour down from Earth's protective magnetosphere into the upper atmosphere.
There, at an altitude of about 250 kilometres, the charged particles collide with molecules of oxygen and nitrogen and make them emit light, similar to the process inside a fluorescent light bulb.
HAARP's high-frequency radio waves can accelerate electrons in the atmosphere, increasing the energy of their collisions and creating a glow.
The technique has previously triggered speckles of light while running at a power of almost 1 megawatt1.
But since the facility ramped up to 3.6 megawatts - roughly three times more than a typical broadcast radio transmitter - it has created full-scale artificial auroras that are visible to the naked eye.
But in February last year, HAARP managed to induce a strange bull's-eye pattern in the night sky.
Instead of the expected fuzzy, doughnut-shaped blob, surprising irregular luminescent bands radiated out from the centre of the bull's-eye, according to Todd Pedersen, a research physicist at the US Air Force Research Laboratory in Massachusetts, who leads the team that ran the experiment at HAARP.
The team modelled how the energy sent skywards from the HAARP antenna array would trigger these odd shapes.
They determined that the areas of the bull's-eye with strange light patterns were in regions of denser, partially ionized gas in the atmosphere, as measured by ground-based high-frequency radar used to track the ionosphere.
The scientists believe that these dense patches of plasma could be gas that was ionized by the HAARP emissions.
"This is the really exciting part - we've made a little artificial piece of ionosphere," Pedersen said.
"The novelty is not seeing the aurora - it's the fact that we can actually create enough high-energy electrons to form plasma," said Mike Kosch, chair of Experimental Space Science at Lancaster University, UK.
"It shows something completely different and new that we hadn't expected. We didn't know we could do that from a radio array on the ground," he added.
