Re: Weird phenomenon over Norway
Robert, that's just the photo from this article with the bottom cut off:
http://www.vg.no/nyheter/vaer/artikkel.php?artid=596359
I have actually seen that very photo "copyright" to several different people... that one says 2200 leserbilde on it, this one says "Rex Features", this one says Jan Peter... who knows whose it is. Since the 2200 leserbilde one is the biggest and most intact, it's probably the original. If so, the photographer's name is Jan Petter Jørgensen. Maybe this is him? http://www.72ppi.dk/

Re: Weird phenomenon over Norway
Thanks, GZ. Yes, I guess you are right. I didn't think enough to realize that the bottom was cut off to get around the copyright. Still, I wonder if the photographer even knows that a news organization had branded his image! I have looked for the photographer himself on the web but apparently he does not have the image on any easy-to-find web site. Also, I am surprised that more home-grown images of this phenomenon are not being posted by Norwegians themselves on Flicker or someplace. Oh well. Thanks again.

Re: Weird phenomenon over Norway
Sorry, I edited my post about fifteen minutes after I made it because it took me that long to realize I should search for his website in Norwegian instead of English. Here is the link to one website that may be him:
http://www.72ppi.dk/
Argh, but it has a .dk domain instead of .no and since he's not Dutch, that'd be weird if it was him.
Ok, so I found another website here:
http://nordicairpower.com/page1.html
He takes great photos of planes. Maybe he happened to take this photo of the rocket? Oh crud, that guy's middle initial seems to be a g instead of a p... HMMMM

Phil Plait? Now why would anybody ask that lying slanderous person anything?!?!
This is reading like the typical misdirection and misinformation stuff on conspiracy sites.

That is a fantastic image. My kids loved it.
Down under we never see odd images. Must be a North bound thing or a Viking God.

Re: Weird phenomenon over Norway
Just a small remark: .dk is the domain name of Denmark (close to Norway), not Holland, which would be .nl, for 'the Netherlands', the residents of which are Dutch. Confusing, I know.Argh, but it has a .dk domain instead of .no and since he's not Dutch, that'd be weird if it was him.

Re: Weird phenomenon over Norway
So, if it was that Russian rocket that caused this display, as such a rocket that is "spinning out of control", why do we not see it being blown up like is normally done with out of control rockets?!?!

You know, I looked it up and knew .dk was Denmark but then I wrote "Dutch" anyway.

Re: Weird phenomenon over Norway
I've been looking at all these Norwegian media websites, too. While I can find the names of the photographers, it's next to impossible to find their contact information. There's some emails on that article but they don't appear to be associated with the photos. Am I missing something?makc wrote:The world is larger than USA, and the internet is larger than flicker.

Re: Weird phenomenon over Norway
Looking at the youtube remix of the msnbc broadcast, It appears like the entire phenom is spinning. both the Blue coil shape and the spiral cloud shape If it were in fact a rocket, and the spiraling blue trail was spewed as the rocket progressed, it shouldn't be still spinning much like a contrail doesn't still move backwards relative to the direction the jet is traveling. It should be a relatively stable blue hued spiral contrail.
I vote for a top secret Russian wormhole experiment disguised as a failed rocket attempt.

Re: Weird phenomenon over Norway
It (the cloud-like spiral pattern) is not actually spinning, though. The spin is an illusion!
