Was mysterious jellyfish in sky caused by space satellite reflecting Northern Lights?

Well it looks like yet another story about something wierd above Norway.

snip

A strange jellyfish-shaped object spotted hanging in the sky over Norway, may have been caused by light from the aurora being bounced off a space satellite, experts say.


The mysterious phenomenon was photographed last week.Mr Mikalsen told the Mail Online: 'I have never seen an object like this before, and I am eager to find an explanation to the phenomenon.' Mr Mikalsen said he was keen to find out what caused the phenomenon in the top right of his picture.

The photographer first assumed the odd optical effect was a spot on his camera lens. But after he posted his photographs on Spaceweather.com he was inundated with emails from interested experts from around the world.

1. I've lots of pictures with lens flares that look exactly like that.
Only I had the good sense not to make a big deal about a stupid lens flare.

4. Micro black hole orbiting Earth?
Too bad he didn't shoot video.

Whatever it is, it's pretty cool looking.
