    Question OT - are Norwegians smoking crack, or is this real???

    I have no idea how reputable a news source the Daily Mail is.

    Let's face it, if I saw that vortex in the sky, I'd assume the LHC was just fired up and one of them dang black holes escaped.
    Did you watch the video? It certainly isn't a comet or airplane.

    I don't buy the Russian missile theory.
    It looks like something on that mountain is trying to open a worm hole.

    I'll have to go along with what Doozer said.

    Either that or someone, or something, is being beamed onto the mountain top from...."up there".

    Umh, a Norwegian friend just died. Maybe Kjell going home. Peace to him.

    It looks like a home made pinwheel using a balloon. I've made several and that is exactly what they look like.

    Edit: By exact I don't mean the retouched photo - I mean the video.

    Total BS. The Daily Mail is right up there with the Weekly World News.

    Here is an interesting photo I captured recently. I think it really looks cool. It isn't retouched in any way, this is how it came out of the camera. Any ideas?

    It isn't the aurora.

    Those flares look like the kinds of reflections you get when your camera is too close to a window and with too much light in the room behind the lens.
