The Norwegian spiral anomaly of 2009 appeared in the night sky over Russia on 9 December 2009. It was visible from, and photographed from, northern Norway and Sweden. The spiral consisted of a blue beam of light with a greyish spiral emanating from one end of it. The light could be seen in all of Trøndelag to the south (the two red counties on the map to the right) and all across the three northern counties which compose Northern Norway, as well as from Northern Sweden and it lasted for 2–3 minutes.
Thousands of people witnessed this event, interestingly enough, people are expecting it to be a proof that extra-terrestrial life forms do exist, many thought it was a UFO until Russia explained that it was caused by failed flights of missiles.
