A mysterious phenomenen of light on the nightsky shocked citizens of northern and mid-Norway on wednesday morning….

…It spun around and exploded in the sky…

…It looked like it came over a mountain. First it followed a path, until it disintegrated. Then it suddenly became a huge sphere, so large that it covered the entire sky.

Meteorologists in Tromsø have no idea what caused the light:

“We don’t know what it is. I don’t want to assume anything about it, but it appears to have been very spectacular”

“People describe the moving light as overwhelming, extremely beautiful, and partially frightening. They describe it as a new years rocket that looks like a spinning spiral.”

The phenomenon lasted for a few minutes, just before eight on Wednesday morning. The meteorologist says the light apparently has come from the east.

    This creeps me out. I have an irrational fear of aliens and abduction, and this doesn’t particularly help. Neither did...
