- It is by definition a UFO

A longstanding and strong flashes of light in the sky caused many to wonder in northern Norway on Tuesday.

- I have seen a good deal of stars, and it's rare that I 've seen that last as long , says photographer Frank Bang.
It was Tuesday evening he was there to photograph the northern lights that he got the unusual image of the unidentified object in the sky .

cinematic flash of light from outer space that was visible over the Southern Norway. The flash was visible in the sky over Grytøya in southern Troms and according to Bang was visible in the sky for several seconds.

He believes that the flash was much lower in the sky and seemed much closer than a meteor or shooting star usually is.
- While a starburst sort of fades on the end , the conclusion of this was a very powerful flash of light. It was like there was a lump that fell apart at the very end , says Bang.
He will not speculate too much of what he saw, but believes it can be a particularly large meteor that fell apart .- Until there comes a definite answer , this is the actual definition of a UFO, laughs Frank Bang.

It's not just Frank Bang that took note of the flash. On Facebook, several commented on the special shooting star , and speculated what it might be. Among the proposals is that there may be a Russian missile test.

Trond Brattli at the Institute for Physical , University of Tromsø , says that one can usually distinguish between a rocket and a meteor in that rocket is lit on the rise , and meteor falling. Since he did not see the phenomenon itself, he does not want to establish that it certainly was a meteor Frank Bang photographed .
- But if the light was very bright , it is possible that it was a meteor that burned up , saying Brattli .
On Andøy was not launched any rocket Tuesday, and Abrahamsen is not aware of any other launches .

- Our rockets are lit in only a short timespan and goes too high to be displayed on an image. Perhaps there may be space debris burning up in the atmosphere , suggest Abrahamsen .He also emphasizes that the flash does not need to originate from a launch near, if there is a rocket behind .
A mysterious spiraling lights that lit up the sky over northern Norway in 2009, for example, proved to originate from a launch in the White Sea . NRK has also received suggestions that it could be a glimpse from a satellite reflecting sunlight.
