In the morning rush hour, at 07.47, showed the special phenomenon in the sky. It is described as a glowing ball in the sky, which rotated and "thrown out" luminous rings. The phenomenon grew rapidly in a spiral, with bright white rings towards the edges and blue, bright rings in the center. Spiral grew steadily larger, until it eventually was significantly greater than both the moon and other things it will be normal to find in the sky.
"Spiral" also walked across the sky, leaving a bright blue track.

The first reaction of many readers when they see this picture is Photoshop! Surely this must be a fake. But no, many independent observers witnessed and phtotographed the apparition. It is real.

Banbury continues: "It consisted initially of a green beam of light similar in color to the aurora with a mysterious rotating spiral at one end. This spiral then got bigger and bigger until it turned into a huge halo in the sky with the green beam extending down to Earth. According to press reports, this could be seen all over northern Norway and must therefore have been very high up in the atmosphere to be seen hundreds of km apart."

UPDATE: Circumstantial evidence is mounting that the phenomenon was caused by a malfunctioning rocket, possibly an ICBM launched from a Russian submarine. A Navtex no-fly alert was issued for the White Sea on Dec. 9th, and photographers appear to have recorded the initial boost phase of a launch below the spiral (see inset). A rocket motor spinning out of control could indeed explain the spiral pattern, so this explanation seems plausible, although it has not yet been confirmed.

Ever hear of Project Bluebeam?

Of course, there will be many for whom such a mundane explanation will not seem nearly good enough.

According to alleged channelers of the Galactic Federation, the benevolent group of Ets from numerous star systems, our ancestors and relatives that have apparently been involved with Earth, or Terra, for a while, this was a vortex opening, the beginning of a 72 hour cycle culminating in a large burst of energy on the 12th and marking the division of timelines. It is said that Terra Nova (5D Earth) begins existing parallel to 3D becoming 5D Earth. This burst results in a more peaceful consciousness where decloackings will occur all over the globe following, or even on, the 12th. This splitting could actually be allowed to be carefully orchestrated by an intelligence or perhaps its just part of the cosmic plan, but supposedly some interesting things should begin to happen toward the end of this month as 70% of the population on Terra Nova will be noticing the changes. Also, with the decloakings will be a half step upgrade (or download) which will allow us to remember more of who we are, past lives, and what we've incarnated here to do, followed by announcements of Nesara and landings where we meet our soul families, the star families we were a part of before we got locked into the karmic cycle on earth

I would bet very heavily on a failed ICBM test, anyone care to take the bet?

To the person who figured haarp... I google earthed Tromso, found the distinctive mountain shown in the fourth picture, and looked to where the beam appeared to be originating from. At the location 69 degrees 35 minutes 10.38 second N and 19 degrees 13 minutes 38.22 seconds east I found this:
EISCAT is an acronym for the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association. It operates three incoherent scatter radar systems, at 224 MHz, 931 MHz in Northern Scandinavia and one at 500 MHz on Svalbard, used to study the interaction between the Sun and the Earth as revealed by disturbances in the ionosphere and magnetosphere. At the Ramfjordmoen facility (near Tromsø, Norway) it also operates an ionospheric heater facility, similar to HAARP. Additional receiver stations are located in Sodankylä, Finland, and Kiruna, Sweden. The EISCAT Headquarters are also located in Kiruna.

How much would you bet?...It looks more like some kind of aurora-like plasma display to me... Somebody playing Haarp on a computer?

try classic premium ale...........co-op, believe it or not, made by big rock. [its cheap too]

ither way we have nothing to fear other than believing a lie.....

I have been following this story quite closely and having read the comments so far I felt inclined to join and post on the subject. I work as a defence analyst and can say from previous experience that this is under no circumstances a rocket launch. I am by no means a rocket scientist but understand enough about the weapons to disprove many of the theories here. Here are my reasons:

Spiral caused by rocket fuel: Not possible
The rocket in use is a MIRV high altitude system which operates at heights many times that of commercial airliners, with the 3rd stage commencing at the edge of the atmosphere. The area covered in the sky by the spiral at such an altitude (anywhere between 35 and 45 km high) would be many hundreds of kilometers in diameter. This is physically not possible for a rocket of that size and with that amount of fuel.

Secondly, the perfect sprial formation would not be maintainable for that duration due to differences in pressure that occur as altitude increases, not to mention the effect of air movement (high altitude winds, slipstreams) which would naturally distort the spiral within a few minutes of it being produced. The spiral also rotates but does not expand itself from a central point, rather the rings of the spiral tend to move with the centre point which would not be possible if the spiral was relying on air movement (there is no giant tornada/vortex in the sky).

Thirdly, the illumination source for the spiral must either come from the sun or an external source. It does not come from the sun as the blackhole appears at the end of the video, which disproves solar illumination (the light source extinguished itself).

The effects I have just tried to disproved may be feasible (although incredibly unlikely) at a lower altitude near to the launch site but again not for the duration mentioned and this would mean the missile was launched from the mentioned military base.
Now I could go on disproving various aspects but to most people it should now be clear that it isnt a missile.
All talks of portholes, wormholes, aliens and project bluebeam are absolute rubbish and I think the more intelligent of you would have already disproved them in your head.
My opinion on this matter is that the object in the sky could be an advanced anti aircraft weapon which I know is being developed by the US/UK (and possibly other NATO states as well as russia). Now I dont know the specifics and I do admit there are flaws in my theory but I think the weapon fired is a rail gun. It fires shells at incredible speeds, leaving a trail of burning hot plasma behind it in the air. It would have to be fired from Norway though but it displays similar characteristics to those shown in the video, albeit for a much shorter duration.
Alternatively and I think it is also very likely if not simple, the thing is a hologram. When you turn off a hologram it goes dark from the centre outwards (the opposite to when you turn off an oldstyle TV), which is demonstrated in the video.
Anyway, whatever it is, it isnt a rocket, that much I know .

Late
I noticed in that artical that you linked up , that the russians claim to have had a failed missle test..but even still, had no idea what that blue light was themselfs.
could that be a second coincendence ?

it would not rule out demons posing as aliens in a spacecraft from another planet
