Wow,what is it?

Some of the photos on the press reports show the before during and after.

It does look like something was launched.

It's aliens of course Mike LOLOL

Seriously though, I find it highly intriguing. I look forward to learning more about it.
Would have loved to have seen it first hand.

They'll be trying for the next 10 years to replicate that.
Wouldn't blame them though.
It's a puzzle you'd just HAVE to solve.

A rocket won't do that as there is no smoke.

J-P Metsavainio from Astroanarchy is located nearby. I reckon he'd know more. Might have even taken pictures of it. He's a member on CN and QHYCCD forums, maybe even in IIS.

They think it's a malfunctioning ICBM launch that did this. That may be caused by ionisation of the exhaust plume of the rocket, if the rocket has gone into a spiralling, tumbling out of control crash. The magnetic fields in the Ionosphere would allow the plume to keep that shape for awhile, apart from helping to give it that structure.

Or, more than likely, it's Russia's version of HAARP

Wow how cool is that, I would have loved to have seen that.

Looks like a worm hole out of Star Trek or Stargate.

Actually, I think it looks more like the opening of the time machine in Time Tunnel

Or maybe the Russian are trying to hypnotise everyone in Norway!!!

... or a mini-polar black hole created by another mishap at the C.E.R.N. machine? Someone just pressed the big red button on time.

It looks like a laser projection on the clouds or mist.

Holographic projection ?

It would have been more spectacular if fighter jets came screaming through the center being chased by flashing saucer shaped craft.
