Last week the British government announced they would be pulling the plug on its UFO Sighting Hotline that had been up and running long before Doctor Who had been on the air. Accountants hope that shutting down the program during the continuing economic crisis will save around $44,000 that could be “better spent” aiding their troops in the Middle East. Many residents fear that the cutting off the direct line could be dangerous in case of an emergency. On the heels of this decision there appears to have been a gigantic and, indeed, spiraling aerial phenomenon that occurred over Norway this morning. It lasted about two minutes and was witnessed and captured by many people. No one seems to have any explanation as to what it was: a new type of aurora, a failed Russian missile, or your garden variety alien activities.
