When Catelijne Brokke in Hammerfest drank morning coffee, she see a special light in the sky.

Catelijne Brokke jobs as bus driver in Hammerfest, and explains that she woke up at 04 o'clock Sunday. As usual, she started the day with a cup of coffee while she peered out the window. Suddenly she saw a light in the dark sky, first as a spiral that was larger and larger.

- It was big as a full moon, and became larger and larger as a kind of explosion. I've never seen anything like that before, "she says.

Brokke is also a photographer and ran in and picked up the camera, and had captured the phenomenon. She estimates that lasted a total of between three and four minutes before it was gone.

- At first I was just surprised by what I saw. Afterwards I thought that I could wish me something big, "said Brokke.

- And you wished you something?

- Yes, a girlfriend perhaps, "she says and laughs.

- Comets behave not so
.
For the astrophysicist Knut Jørgen Røed Ødegaard is the light over Hammerfest bit of a challenge.

- In the form that resembles that of a comet, but a comet behaves not like that. Comets may well be visible for several minutes, hours, days or maybe even in months, "he says.

He said that the bright head and the movement is similar to a fireball or heavy meteor.

- But when the tail is straight and tangle not appear in the same way. In addition, they are not visible for so long that she had managed to pick up the camera, "he says.
Must sign passport

He says he first thought that it could have been light reflection in the clouds, but can not see from the pictures which may explain such a reflection.

Finally, he simply report pass:

- It was hard on there, and I do not know what it can be.

Røed Ødegaard, however, been curious about the phenomenon and want feedback from others who may have seen the same phenomenon of Hammerfest.

- Such things are always a bit curious spire rendering, for we can usually explain mostly relatively okay, but not always, "he says.

Nope, not clear. To me it looks like refracting light off high altitude clouds.
