Apparently, no, it is no shoop. Loads of people saw it.

Mildly curious. I think it's the beginning of a new Dante's Inferno ad, what about you?

Looks like a black hole. Finally, my theory that Black Holes live in the center of the earth and are intelligent is true!

Serious now, what are the chances of this being a hologram?

Looks cool, If it's a combine invasion force then I'm going to be pissed.

I just spent 20K on school man, what good is a four year education going to be to a resistnace memeber?

I don't even know what a hologram is. I thought it's something Duke Nukem and Arnold Schwarzenegger use to confuse bad guys.

I don't know much (anything) about space science, but maybe it's light from something that exploded in space thousands of years ago and the light has only just reached us due to the distance, and because it was night time and Norway happened to be in the right place at the right time, it shone rather visibly.

Other than that crackpot theory, I'm out of ideas.

It was moving if I understood correctly. And a supernova THAT bright? We would all be dead. Doesn't look like any rocket I know either, unless it was made by Gandalf. I'm all out of ideas too...

Holography (from the Greek, ὅλος-hólos whole + γραφή-grafē writing, drawing) is a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that it appears as if the object is in the same position relative to the recording medium as it was when recorded. The image changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way as if the object were still present, thus making the recorded image (hologram) appear three dimensional.

The technique of holography can also be used to optically store, retrieve, and process information. While holography is commonly used to display static 3-D pictures, it is not yet possible to generate arbitrary scenes by a holographic volumetric display.

Supernovas generally look weird, but never THIS weird.

Dante's Inferno seems like a good idea with this. I would liek to see more videos on the event (ones that dont have caps lock on in their title prehaps)

Relax....

It's just Russia testing it's new electromagntic weapon's.

But really the first one looked kinda fake to me but the secound one looked like a "wormhole" opening or a jumpgate. Could it be something I always hoped for...

A gate to the Lylat System?

Dude, it's no shoop. There are hundreds of pictures of it and videos and stuff, they all look like that.

depends, did you by chance study theoretical physics at MIT? more importantly, do you have the mystical ability to look good in orange?

How do you know the site isn't saying: "A bunch of people saw this"

Then another site see's whats on the first site, and so on.

It happens all the time, unless you personally know 2 separate people who saw this, you can't really say for sure it's not bullshit.
