Lights in the sky

What's that in the sky in Norway (a week ago, as it turns out)? A meteor? A black hole? Evidence of alien beings? A rocket from Russia gone awry? How unexplained phenomena are interpreted makes for an interesting view into the psyche of a culture. How might the sky spiral have been seen through the eyes of a 19th century viewer?



Hard to guess.
