It is UFO.
Unidentified Flying Object.
Unidentified = not yet recognized ... true
Flying = self explanatory ... true
Object = everything is an object ... true

Pshaw. Obviously a ufo, guys. Come on.

It wasn't mistaken for a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object), it was a UFO. And then it was identified.

Indeed. -Now- it's an IFO, but people seem to automatically assume 'UFO' means aliens.

Beat me to it, but it isn't a UFO anymore.

Imagine seeing that though!

it was the TARDIS

Yes, how dumb the Norwegians are for looking up in the sky and NOT recognizing it was a malfunctioning Russian rocket.

Again with a bad news title. An accurate title would be, Norwegians Identify UFO. You cannot mistake something you do not know. Mistake implies having knowledge of but then misrepresenting that knowledge unintentionally.

I saw a UFO yesterday. It was long, with broad wings that moved in vertical motions. I later identified it as a Canada Goose.

@Socnom: firstly "mistake" can be used in multiple ways. If you do not know what something is and then make a guess as to what it is, which is what Norwegians did, then you are mistaken.

Its just common the way the word is commonly used in English speaking countries.

The day a UFO actually is captured in detail, and flying through matter, I think I might believe...
Why do UFO's only fly high, and are always recorded with lousy camera's?

Perhaps all this UFO business was nothing more than spy sattelites and mini planes. In some cases it's a recording of a scene behind a window.
Any source of light behind the window is reflected, and recorded as if there somewhere magically appears a dot of light in the sky!

I'm more curious why Russia is firing/testing ICBM's from their subs.

Norwegians seem to be getting confused a lot, of late. They also confused Barack Obama for a man of accomplishment.

but can it run Crysis?

 

[ssalim]

You bet alien spacecraft can play Crysis.
But ... -1 for you.

Very funny. +1 for you.

 

[lazerblaster]

Well, I'm glad its not aliens ...Just the silly Russians launching Long range missiles. had me scared there for a sec

 

[gamerjames]

"but can it run Crysis" seriously needs a censor.

Norfag here:

Most norwegians did NOT assume this was an alien spacecraft (ofcourse some did,) most people believed it was a missile. At first the Russians couldn't comfirm what it was (almost saying they had no idea) leaving the retarded ones to belive it was alien's and even Santa Claus.
