Mystic object over North Norway

[EtherealN]

Because they don't feel like telling us?

Or because no-one in the press thought anyone would care about the exact minute it was launched? (I agree there - what's the point of that knowledge if you aren't a very well trained military analyst with advanced rocketry knowledge where tossing a minute here or there might actually alter your interpretation of the data.)

 

And since it's launched from an area where there apparently have been several Baluva test launched previously... It's a clear-cut case in my mind.

The point is putting together the launch and the "heavenly ascension spiral" and see if they happen at the same time. And this missile ascends in seconds so advanced knowledge is not needed. The only thing that`s needed is info of the time of launch. Pretty simple. Or is it so secret that the military don`t want the population to know the exact time a SLBM has been launched close to shores :doh: I mean what do you guys care, just a little missile either it is today or tomorrow :D

I`m telling you the military are skinflint @sses, that`s why they are silent as a mummy. :mad:

It is due to LHC..., Half-Life story is coming.... who will be Freeman?

 

Awesome :)

So again Bulava failed :( ... IIRC there were more failures than successes.

It seems that the rocket failed at Flight path correction

Don`t worry about it. If they stop its development they will come with another one very fast, it`s not like they don`t have experience with ballistic missiles. ;) It could be RS-24 based :thumbup:

Topol, but if you are testing something that is cutting edge, the only thing you'll achieve if you announce that you'll be doing a test is to tell the yanks (and norwegian NATO stations) that they should please point every surveillance gear they've got in that direction. :P

 

Because if you announce it you reduce the possibility that it will be interpreted as a nuclear first strike :) And according to norwegian media the Russians did announce that they were going to performe a missile test.

 

Don't want to repeat the incident in 1995 when a norwegian rocket caused panic, and made Yeltsin prepare for nuclear retaliation. From wikipedia:

In 1995, a rocket from Andøya caused high alert in Russia. They thought it might be a nuclear missile launched from a submarine. President Boris Yeltsin was alerted for a possible counter strike, when the Russians understood that it was not heading towards Russia. There were press photos all over the world of Yeltsin with the launch command briefcase. The Russians were informed in advance about the launch, but this information was lost in the Russian military organisation.

^^^ +2 unsuccessful tests in 2009. In July and this one.

Someone was asking about Gordon Freeman? Don't worry, he's already there:

Hahaha :doh: I`m gonna get me a crawbar. It`s seems I`m going to need it.

[Namenlos Ein]

Don't forget this.

 

[Boberro]

Yeah I've seen this, and always having fun when I see these pics.

Yeah when I get my crawbar I`ll beat with it people that have alien creatures on their heads :weight_lift_2:

Don't worry, the CERN have a received a red crowbar :http://blog.reddit.com/2008/11/crowbar-arrived-at-cern-freeman-was.html

[Vekkinho]

It's the Tesla Shield ;)

All of you are wrong.

 

Is the vaporware caused by Fighter Ops simulator.

And newest comment from spaceweather:

 

''Circumstantial evidence is mounting that the phenomenon was caused by a malfunctioning suborbital rocket, possibly a Bulava ICBM launched from a Russian submarine in the White Sea.''

 

OH NOT AGAIN ...CRAP LOST MY CHANCE TO GO BACK TO MY TIME

Similar incident seen over China 20 years ago, according to this link

LOL! Damn, maybe if we can get in touch with David Braben, he could shed some light on this :D
