Strange lights over Norway

April 5th, 2019 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

Famed Arctic and aurora photographer Ole C Salomonsen has reported in the last hour strange lights over Tromso, Norway. Ole says the sight is the “weirdest stuff I’ve seen”.

I’ve taken the liberty of increasing the brightness of two of the images he posted:

Strange lights in the sky photographed by famed aurora photographer Ole Salomonsen around midnight, Saturday April 6 2019 from Tromso, Norway.

I can’t imagine what this is, but I suspect it’s related to some sort of rocket-borne experiment. But the spatial distribution of the lights is very strange. I assume Ole will update us with time lapse photography in the near future.

UPDATE: Frank Olsen, also in Norway, posted the following photo, and said that this was indeed rocket-borne experiments containing special chemicals:

    Hopefully, you will update with time-lapse photography in the near future.
