December 9: A strange spiral of light seen over the artic skies close to Norwegian city of Tromso has finally been explained by the exploding trail of a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile.Hundreds of phone calls were received by the Norwegian Meteorological institute from confused observers. The sighting lasted for 2-3 minutes and related to the appearance of a large ring in the sky, which then spread out, and sent a green beam down…Even the Chief Scientist Erik Tandberg, of the Norwegian Space Center, had been amazed by the appearance: “…I agree with everyone in the science community that this light was the weirdest thing. I have never seen anything like this ever. It may have been anything from an exploding missile whose launch went wrong – to a comet or other celestial object that for some reason has been behaving strangely. If it was a missile – most likely from the launch base in Pletsevsk in Russia or one of the Russian submarines or even from the European Space Agency base in Kiruna – then we are talking about a rocket launch that has gone wrong. The spiral suggests the object came off course and balance and entered the spiral movement. Leaking rocket fuel could account for the blue light. But I know that the military have denied this explanation. So we could be looking at an entirely new natural phenomenon…” Russia confirmed a day later that the strange display had been caused by the failure of a test launch of an intercontinental Bulava missile…still spectacular and weird !

So, thats it then? Russia says its a missle and we can all sleep now?
What happened to being your own.

***Not a rocket. EISCAT more Likely
your Chart for identifying UAP is very useful,But it does not have any Block for phenomena Not fitting into its flow of pre-conceived “we can explain everything” ideas ! Obviously you want to attract Professional observers rather than Ufo sensationalists, BUT (BUT) millions of scientists already accept that even Statistically there “MUST” be other forms of Advanced life “out there”; so what will you do if some of “THEM” do appear in the sky one day ? write them off as floating dustbin lids or something ? no need to be TOO cynical

Did the Russian official launch time match the time of observation in Tromso?
Did the azimuth direction observed from Tromso correspond with the location of the rocket failure reported by the Russian officials?
What did people in Honningsvag and Kirkenes observe at that time? If they observed something at the same time, what were the compass directions to the phenomena seen by people in those cities?

There’s some great tips there, just blogged about it too!
Yes, I agree with Dr. Laine: I see the section for “Misidentifications” but where is the section on “Objects Yet to be Identified”? Or have you been able to identify everything?
Are you so sure of all phenomena in the sky that there is not even a section for possible unknowns?
Then what is this website about? Explaining away all UFOs or UAPs? Are there, perhaps, objects seen in the sky that our brilliant scientific community may not be able to, at least at present, explain?
