No one is owning up to anything with this one.
The leading theory is that it's an image being projected onto low cloud from on the ground.
The footage does look scarily genuine (and brilliant!) though...
Thoughts?

Would like to see a pyrotechnic expert have a good look at it, preferably better quality footage before passing judgment.
It does look impressive from the grainy images though.
Why is it when loads of people have see the same thing we get left with poor quality footage.

This was a test of a Russian ‘Buluva’ ICBM:

The Russians issued a "do not fly" warning in the area, as they do when testing missiles.

See what an astronomer has to say about it all.

The blue part pointing down? That's perspective playing tricks. Just like contrails (note; contrails, not chemtrails) make a high altitude aircraft appear to be going straight up.
I think we can put the tin foil back in the kitchen cupboard.
