UPDATED While out filming contrails/chemtrails Youtube user Breakz23 captured this footage of a strange light that he spotted in the sky over Maryland. According to the video description the light appeared a total of three times (though the he was unable to capture the first two appearances). Despite being filmed on April 1st, this video appears to be a legitimate sighting of… something. According to the witness, this light is not a plane or a helicopter and appeared much brighter than any other object in the sky. From the video, it appears to either be hovering away slowly or at a very high altitude (which given its apparent size in the video would make it enormous). What do you think this strange light that appeared over Maryland is? Share your theories in the comments.

UPDATE: According to a comment left below by the witness, the first time he saw the object it was so bright it caught is attention from the corner of his eye. As he turned the object shot off across the sky at an incredible pace, while the second time it appeared it seemed to float slowly into a cloud bank. With this additional information, it would seem to potentially rule out the theory raised by other commenters that the object was in fact a satellite reflecting the sun.

When Chris Holly posted a hand drawn sketch of this symbol asking if anyone had seen it before, I felt like it was very familiar, yet I am unable to remember where I have seen it. To use a filing cabinet as an analogy, I know which drawer the folder is in. The folder is clearly labeled, but when I look in the folder, there is nothing in it. When I contacted Chris to let her know that, she replied that several other people had told her, just as I had, that the symbol looked familiar, but that they couldn’t place it.

Through my own research, I have been unable to find any symbols remotely similar to this one. So in the hopes that some one will either recognize the symbol or have some clue as to its origin, I am joining Chris in asking the internet at large for help identifying this mysterious glyph. If you have any information you can contact either Chris via her email address she has listed on her post or myself via the comments on this post or, if you prefer a more private communication, by emailing me directly at john@meetstheweird.com.

Earlier today the appearance of a blue spiral of light over Norway sent shockwaves across the Scandinavian country as thousands witnessed the phenomenon. According to witnesses, the event lasted a little over 2 minutes, but some residual coloration was still visible in the sky for some time. Experts have ruled out auras, meteors, and other known natural phenomena. Additionally, no rocket sites in Norway or any neighboring countries say they have fired any rockets. This leaves this event a complete mystery.

Because this occurred on the eve of President Obama’s arrival in Norway to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, many have postulated that the two events may be related. The internet has been abuzz lately with rumors of government disclosure of the existence of extraterrestrial life and many theories peg President Obama’s Nobel Prize speech as a possible venue for an announcement. In a way, announcing the existence of extraterrestrial life at the Nobel ceremonies seem logical. If he brokered some sort of diplomatic agreement between the earth and an extraterrestrial race, Pres. Obama would definitely deserve the peace prize, an accolade that right now very few feels he has earned. Additionally because the speech will occur outside of the United States, he would be seen as making the announcement to the entire planet and not just to the US. Ultimately, only time will tell if the two events have anything to do with each other. Even if there is no link between this phenomena and President Obama, something amazing happened over Norway today.
