This was the source of some discussion this morning:

Strange Light over Norway 
Some speculated it was something peaceful, like the large hadron collider creating the black hole that would engulf Earth and obliterate our existance in such a way no alien life form would ever know we existed.  However, since there are particules that come from the future to keep that from happening, I knew it wasn’t true.

At this time, Russia is telling the world not to panic, it was simply a Bulava missile that can travel 5,000 miles and carry ten nuclear warheads.  These missiles are newer, bigger, and more powerful nuclear missiles than what they used in the past.

While people were scratching their heads trying to figure out what it was, Obama was telling the world this while accepting his Nobel Peace Prize:

One urgent example is the effort to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, and to seek a world without them. In the middle of the last century, nations agreed to be bound by a treaty whose bargain is clear: all will have access to peaceful nuclear power; those without nuclear weapons will forsake them; and those with nuclear weapons will work toward disarmament. I am committed to upholding this treaty. It is a centrepiece of my foreign policy. And I am working with President Medvedev to reduce America and Russia’s nuclear stockpiles.

Somehow I don’t think Russia is quite as committed to eliminating their stockpile just yet.  Call it a hunch if you will.
