Astonishing ... Spinning UFO

[Editor's Note: A reader from Norway sent the following information].

(VG NETT) The Norwegian Space Center believes the mysterious giant spiral is a Russian rocket that is launched from a U-boat in the White Sea. The Russian Northern Fleet denies that such a thing should have happened.

THIS spiralling UFO soaring over the skies of Norway has put stargazers in a spin. The mystery light rotates at incredible speed like an huge flying Katherine Wheel firework.

It was filmed this morning and was spotted all the way from central Norway to the country's far north, witnesses said.

British UFO expert has described the phenomenon as "real mystery".

Nick Pope, former UFO analyst for the Ministry of Defence, said: "My first thought was this was a meteor, a fireball, or debris from an old satellite burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.

"But the spiral motion makes this unlikely. This is truly bizarre. It's a real mystery.

"A meteor or a fireball would simply travel in a straight line but for something to spiral in this way appears to go against the laws of physics.

"Some halfwits may think it is the Northern Lights but they illuminate the sky with a green glow. This is completely different from any image of the Northern Lights that I have ever seen.

"It's ironic that something like this should happen the very week after the MoD terminated its UFO project. It just goes to show how wrong that decision was."
