UPDATE: It appears the original post made by Chris has been deleted or otherwise lost to time. Because of this, I have removed the links to her original post. If you have any information on this symbol you can still contact either Chris at chrisholly61@yahoo.com or myself at john@meetstheweird.com.

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 research, I have been unable to find any symbols remotely like this one. So in the hopes that some one will either recognize the symbol or have some clue about 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.

Have you seen this symbol before? @ Chris Holly’s Paranormal World (BROKEN LINK REMOVED)

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.

For approximately one minute a series of bright flashes were visible across the South West Florida communities of Cape Coral, Sanibel, and Ft Myers. Witnesses reported electrical anomalies in their homes and some were even unable to start their car. Following the event, 5,000 homes on Sanibel Island were without power. Currently there is no official explanation for the flashes, though some speculate that the lights may have been caused by failing substations. However this theory would not explain the inability to start cars or the strange sensations felt by witnesses. Watch the flashes for yourself and let me know what you think they are in the comments:
