Is It A Bird? Is It A Plane? No It's A Russian ICBM.. Over Iran?
While we are no experts in either geography (did Iran and Kazakhstan just get a lot closer?) or inter-continental ballistic missile identification (was anyone else test-firing nuclear missiles last night), the skies over Iran were glowing last night with what the news agency astrological experts said was "according to previous experiences, guessed to be the final stages of a long-range ballistic missile launcher." This is good news, for Iran, but, according to the Russian Navy blog, they are preparing for another ICBM test-firing next week... so Norway might want to be on the look-out.
Strange light in the sky in NorthWest Iran was Russian ICBM, INSA Says
Initial reports Mnttshr late Tuesday night, showed the bright object in the sky at around 21:41 hours on the same period in Tabriz and Urmia Sky and other cities in East and West Azarbaijan, has been observed.
Zare true amateurs Urmia said the unidentified object in the vicinity of 30 degrees above the horizon 21 hours and 40 minutes West has seen around June. Witnesses reported that a luminous object shaped tapered tail cone of the cone to the north and the south were targeted.
With notice of the cone, and repeat it several times to collect pictures of this phenomenon in the Iranian sky, space science and editorial experts on the nature of space phenomena discovered astronomy.
...
Shahram Yazdanpanah, a space scientist said: "The time compared to the sunset viewing area, shape and appearance of the observed phenomena and observed a large area, leaving no doubt that we have an orbital phenomena, have been. According to previous experiences and observations of a phenomenon that is guessed to tank the final stages of a long-range ballistic missile launchers or space must belong. Place it most likely occurred at much height at which time the night is over, and so there is still sunlight reflected sunlight from the fuel tank gases abandoned, Tuesday evening in the West,'s probably scene daunting Iranian is created. "ballistic missiles, space rockets close to the very structure of the upper atmosphere layers are crossed.
Yazdanpanah was founded in response to the phenomenon of Astronomy magazine said: «? according to location, space launchers, the observed phenomenon seems to have been the result of a space-launched ballistic missiles most likely to be the test is related to the Russian
And so while Iran (and Kazakhstan) may now be clear... the Russian Navy has said another ICBM launch is coming...

So maybe looking North this time? Perhaps Norway should lock its doors?

The 4th of July might come early this year.
Makes sense, someone is banging up this market like there's "no tomorrow".
If they build cars at GM the way they build those missle defense systems well then......
"Shahram Yazdanpanah, a space scientist said:..."
Sounds legit.
I think it's time for your paid menstrual leave
This same cone aerial phenomenon has been seen all over Europe, Russia, the Nordic countries for several years without commensurate rocket launches by anybody.
That's a fact.
No, nobody knows what they are.
They move too slowly for rockets.....
You'd be more comfortable with this, suspending some disbelief
Looks like a birdie from badminton to me.
Space shuttlecock?
Putin just can't keep it in his pants.
Anyone remember the one off the Cali coast a while back?
DaddyO
I remember watching that the night it went off. Even the news was excited talking about the rocket.
When the DoD came out and said it wasn't theirs, then all of a sudden it was that jet, yeah, a jet.

hmmm badminton?
did you mean the Thomas & Uber Cups playing the last four in New Delhi at the moment?
Space scientist? I'm pretty sure ICBMs fall under future-weapons and terror-from-above science.
Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus..............
". . . the observed phenomenon seems to have been the result of a space-launched ballistic missile[]"
Er . . . space launched? Isn't that a HUGE treaty violation and kind of a super-big deal? See; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty
My guess is that it is a case of distorted pixels.
Donchu worry none, Preezy stompy foot is shore to swing his arms, huff and puff, and yammer about red lines. Oh wait.
Ya, and back in reality we can prolly expect to get severely EMPd in the not too distant future.
Was wondering if anyone was going to catch that.
Now is as good a time as any. So now we have mystery space missiles, and a missing airplane.
I think its time to give serious consideration to the possibility we have a real life James Bond villain on the loose.
The most important story of the year, Tyler, heads up.
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-oil-20140521-story.html
The EIA has reduced by 96% estimates of recoverable oil in the Monterrey shale, which had been thought to hold 66% of the US's shale oil.
Of course, at WTI's $104, maybe Iran will be faster getting theirs shipped to the Russian pipelines northward.
Yeah the same guy claiming that 66% of US recoverable shale oil was in CA ? HAhaha
So where is it?
You seem smart, and sound like you know.
jeez SR, everybody knows that 2/3 of US oil reserves are in Canuckistan.
HAH !!
It's a Badminton Shuttlecock !!!
I thought Badminton was banned by the Muzzies in Iran because you have to say "cock" when you say Shuttlecock. ;) LOL !
Thats probably the flying bug or bird on that photo - next!
Weather balloon.
Aren't they all.

Of all people, you should know better.

Intercontinental Aurora Boris Missle Spiraling over Norway. Life is such a soap opera...
WTF was that anyway? About the only thing I'm sure of is that is was not some quaint visual artifact from a malfunctioning rocket. . .
Norway finally gets some light. Awesome!
Funny but those people in the pic don't seem to be wearing a suicide vest. And they have electricity?
I thought all of those terrists were plotting to disembowel all of us? How do they have time for a stroll by the pond?

...and the sand. Where's all the sand? They're not even wearing turbans, and there's not a sign of a camel anywhere.
Don't they know that there are American stereotypes to conform to?
They hate is for our freedoms.
(I get the biggest chuckle from saying that these days.)
oh look...it's roughly a quarter's worth of a "Norway Spiral"...
COOL!
It's Big Pharma. They're planning to detonate a large nuclear device above major US cities so the cancer rates go up and they can make money through cancer treatment!

Yesterday Russian PR claimed that the test was sucessful and "hit the intended target" somewhere in Kazakhstan... after a fly-by over Iran? Well, at least it didn't explode a few seconds after take-off like the latest satellite Putin tried to launch.
For the russians that already counts as "success."
Me thinks you have the Ruskies and the North Vietnamese confused, eh?
It's not the missle that typically leaves this type of trail, it's the rocket stage after separation.
Don't make a fool of yourself.

Too late. b_thunder has a firmly established net.kook reputation.
Hey, don't give the false flag gang at the CIA any more ideas - like routing missiles over unfriendly countries to make it look like the unfriendly countries launched them toward friendly countries.
no, it's a giant badminton birdie
Rise of Robots May Doom Retail Restaurant Jobs Amid Furor on Lowest Wages - The New York Sun
This will be a fun show when the SEIU is the first to wage a Frank Herbert inspired Butlerian Jihad against the service robots.
Physics majors: does that curve look right to you?
Anyone want to try the math?
Yes, it's actually about right. The missile was fired from from a site near Volgograd. ICBM's fly to a height of about 600 miles. From Iran it should appear low on the northern horizon. Used to see similar sights all the time in California when the Air Force launched ICBM's from Vandenberg. It's probably the second stage re-entering the atmosphere.
The interesting thing is how short the flight was. Volgograd to Kazakhstan is probably near the minimum range for an SS-25. They usually fire them off towards Kamchatka.
Great observation Quantum Nucleoniocs - so the Russians are seeing how well their MIRV'd SS-25 performs at shorter ranges. Hmmmm. What targets could possibly be within "shorter" ranges from Russian ICBM sites?
Obviously a comet. Nothing to see here. Move along citizen.
Looks like we are sending ground troops to Nigeria. #invadeanotherbrowncountry.
Just as well there is no oil there otherwise their motives might be dishonest.
Oh wait....
Elon Musk's electric space rocket?
No, it was Machete.
Lock your doors? Should we add duct tape to that list? LOL.
Why cant zh be more focused like CNN with its third top headline "adorable kid pulls on obama' s ear" come on! ;)
I had to check to see if you were kidding about CNN. You weren't, lol
Nuke! I'm your Father.
I was trying to read this. I had to check to see If I had a stroke. Why do you post translations that read like the rumblings of a feeble retard?
Its not a re-entry vehicle I can tell you that, moving much too slowly and not tossing off nearly enough energy.
Nope, it was most likely (highly probable) the precursor to a newly discovered meteor shower.

Long ICBMs.
cold war part two, except this time it's the ussa that is a lame duck.
"cold war part two, except this time it's the ussa that is a lame duck."
in Cold War ver 2.0, the USSA is playing USSR, just a swap of A2R
Does anybody know if the Russians have S-500s that are going to be shipboard deployments? Putting those things on a missile cruiser makes sense but I am not sure they are planning on it.
Yes, this is related to the above video.
Where's the S U P E R M A N O R B A T M A N O R S P I D E R M A N when the world needs either one of them very badly???
