Light phenomenon in the sky over Sweden and Norway

A mysterious light phenom has been seen in many parts of Sweden.

Some describe it as a flying bead band, while others call it a strange light train or eight flying dots.

“It moved quickly, faster than an aircraft,” says Anders, 33, who is in Örnsköldsvik.

Witnesses from Växjö, Boden, Västerås, Säffle, Säffle, Floda, Tärnsjö, Handen, Olofstorp, Sollentuna, Vedevåg have heard from Aftonbladet over the past two evenings with stories of a mysterious light phenomenon that lights up and sweeps across the sky.

One of them is Anders Sjöroos. Örnsköldsviksbon was outdoors to look at the northern lights with his daughter Nikki, 7.

The time had barely pass 20 on Saturday when they look up at the sky and see eight big dots moving across the sky.

– My daughter got worried and asked: Dad what is that? But I didn’t know what to answer. I don’t know myself, says Anders.

“Sounded nothing at all”

Anders has tried to find out what caused the light phenomenon.

– I don’t even know what I think it is. It was bigger than an airplane and sounded nothing at all. It felt like it was far away and quite close at the same time.

He continues:

– I’ve never seen anything like it. I have tried to check if there was any space rocket and a craft today, but I found nothing. You get very curious.

The expert’s answer

Expert Daniel Kastinen believes he knows what the heavenly phenomenon comes from. He is a space scientist on the institution for space physics.

“It looks like recently postponed satellites that are on their way to their orbit, probably Starlink,” he writes in a text message to Aftonbladet.

The light phenomenon has also been marked in Norway. But there, the experts believe that these are settles from Starshield.

-We first assumed it was Starlink satellites, but quickly realized that it was state American surveillance satellites, says Pål Brekke, science manager at Norwegian Space Center, to VG.
