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.
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.

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

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

UndeadStar shouted: https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope.
