Alright what the HELL is this thing?!





The Official Story is that it is a failed russian sub ICBM missile test. I'm not missile explosion expert, but I do play a lot of StarCraft and that doesn't look ANYTHING like ANYTHING I've seen before. Looking at the video and pictures, you'd think they were obviously photoshoped, but then you read the official headlines(for the brief moment they are on the air) and really

From what I can gather is either:

A) the "spiral that turns into a black hole" isn't a missile and we are being lied to

OR

B) It is an ICBM capable of doing some really crazy shit that makes this look tame.


I hate to sound like a 9/11 nutjob, but I'm a lil freaked out.

EDIT: found a counter-viewpoint http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx8i5EfmYU4

After looking at some Vandenburg Missile test videos, I am definitely undereducated in missiles. Although I will say that the Norway case looks very different than the videos I've seen.

Better than fireworks.

Disclaimer: This is the conspiracy theorists side

Think about it, who better to cover it up than the government. ITs probably some technology that nobody but a few people know about.

Looks like someone set their Dremel to "Pierce the Heavens".

On a more serious note, this video offers some explanation;

Its our sun trying to communicate with us.

A spiral that turned into a black hole next to earth would destroy the earth. And probably the solar system.

Any modern-day nuclear weapon makes Hiroshima look tame.
(Though in theory, size isn't as important... 20 one megaton bombs would get you further than one 20 megaton bomb.)

Maybe it's just a Protoss player casting recall.

Lmao Exactly what i thought
Or maybe the protoss exist and we are all going to die

brb, converting to the khala

It's pretty much confirmed that it was a failed Russian missile launch. Boring explanation is boring
It annoys me that all the cool visual stuff always happens in the north...

Yeah, I'm not much for conspiracy theories, and I'd stick with the Bulava SLBM failure theory.
The south sux.

I'm guessing he wasn't talking about an actual 'black hole' in scientific terms. But rather, just a hole that is black. Eh? Cause obviously it would make less than 0 sense if it were an actual black hole that you are speaking about.

A black hole next to Earth would destroy everything within thousands of light years around us pretty quickly.

I'm going with Glass Joe on this one, it's definitely a protoss player casting recall. *Takes cover behind nearest missile turret*

I think this topic is done.

I've seen a model rocket fail in exactly the same way before.
