... I highly recommend you reread the original post here. :p
You still shouldn't repeat threads :p

Anyway, as I stated before, it is obviously a wormhole caused by Santa's warp drive.
News posts =/= threads mang.

OMG, I only just realized...it's not Ubisoft or even Dante's Inferno...the spiral...

DREAMCAST IS RETURNING!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!
PRAISE JEBUS!!!

Seriously though, if this isn't the start of 'Doom 2' or the work of some mad scientist, I'll be sad at life.

Well here's my two cents:

I'm not ruling out the missile theory. I'm sure there's some sort of physics that could allow that to happen. I think it's very interesting that it was blue because as far as I know, most missiles don't glow that color. I think the whole thing is suspicious but most likely man made. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be some new kind of weapon that malfunctioned that we don't know about yet.

I refuse to believe that it was a missile. Personally, I don't know what to think about it: but I just can't buy the missile story.

Blue lights in sky, failed missile test story, scientist named Dr.Atlantis... We are trapped in a Roland Emmerich movie!

Update 2: Okay, so a genuine rocket scientist whose name may or may not be simulations [http://twitter.com/doctoratlantis/status/6504652897] that would show how this phenomenon would be created, and it's a bit easier to swallow now. But ... I mean, come on, the guy's name is Dr. Atlantis! He's either an alien or a supervillain, and either way you know he's gotta be in on it.

I'm still going with the Spiral Power Giant Robots thing, though. I like it best.

(Thanks, Carnagath!)

Still does not explain how the "missle" managed to stay in the same spot for 12 minutes, while going completly haywire.... that's hardly possible.

DON'T SPOIL THIS WITH YOUR PITHY SCIENCE.

It ruins the mystery. Would Citizen Kane be as good if at the very beginning it just said "IT WAS HIS SLED", or would Soylent Green be as good if it just flashed "BTW, it's people."?

As I have just written in the other thread about the subject it seems that the missile theory is correct.

Take a look at this: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/12/09/awesomely-bizarre-light-show-freaks-out-norway/

There are a rather sound theory of how a rocket/missile could create such a spiral.

If the missile is a long way from you and moves almost directly towards you (or away from you) it can produce such a spiral (see my link above)

Or perhaps it was Rudolf's nose exploding or something, opening a wormhole and eventually causing the Combine to invade.

This is clearly the work of Junji Ito, making sure that I do not recover from my unease when around cinnamon rolls, snail shells, or parlor-trick hypnosis wheels.

They don't need to worry. Afterall, why do you think the anti-spirals would be so angry with them in the first place?

Answer? This is why: http://www.sfx.co.uk/page/sfx?entry=the_new_union_flag

...That's either one hell of a coincidence or TTGL has taken "belief makes it real" to the next level.
I knew of that flag's existence and had zero idea it came from Norway. You may redeem your coupon for one free internet at the Kamina City parliament building.

In that still picture it looks like some kind of projection being projected from that hill to the right.
