The 2009 Norwegian spiral anomaly - spiral-shaped UFO witnessed by thousands in Norway


It is not uncommon to see unusual lights in the skies of Norway.  The Hessdalen Lights have been reported in Norway since the 1800’s.  But in 2009, a light was spotted in the skies above Norway that made other glowing-light UFO sightings pale by comparison.  Called the “Norwegian spiral anomaly” or “Star Gate”, the UFO was visible to thousands of awe-struck Norwegians and photographed extensively, from Norway to Sweden.  The event occurred on December 9, 2009 and lasted from 2-3 minutes (some sources say it lasted up to 10 minutes).  It consisted of a blue beam of light that came from behind a mountain with a grayish spiral-shaped hue of light emanating from it.

One of the earliest of documented sightings of aerial phenomena took place on April 4, 1561 at dawn over Nuremberg, Germany. What was described as a war in the heavens, with a wide variety of craft ranging from spheres to spear-like cylinders to crosses and "plates". The sky was apparently filled with the machines, clashing in battle for well over an hour.  The battle was such that a winner was perceived as well.  Spheroid UFOs were seen emerging from cylindrical 'motherships'.
