Strange Spiral On The Skies Of Norway on December 9, 2009

The Norwegian spiral anomaly of 2009 appeared in the night sky over Norway on 9 December 2009. It was visible and photographed from northern Norway and Sweden. The spiral consisted of a blue beam of light with a greyish spiral emanating from one end of it.
The light could be seen from the region of Trøndelag to the south and to the north, as well as from Northern Sweden. According to sources it lasted for 2 or 3 minutes, describing it as a light that came from behind a mountain, stopping in mid-air and starting to spiral outwards.

A similar, though less spectacular event had also occurred in Norway the month before, both events had the expected visual features of failed flights of Russian SLBM RSM-56 Bulava missiles. The Russian Defense Ministry acknowledged shortly after that such event took place on December 9th.
