The sighting over Oslo has been rather officially
confirmed as an airplane contrail illuminated by the
setting sun. A radar in Sweden evidently saw an
airplane at the correct position/time.
The trail lasted several minutes, but didn't curl like
ordinary meteor trails. The video images were not very
sharp though, so it was hard to say very much from
them.

Dear All,

Alan Pickup and Harro Zimmer don't find "appropriate"
re-entry. Alan Pickup is sure that it was an aircraft
contrail. I think that it is the most plausible
explanation, as it also explains absence of other
reports of such rather "spectacular object".

Also here was some upsurge/peak in cloudiness in the
evening, which hints on rather high moisture at the
altitude.
I think that unless some "opposing" info appears, the
explanation is the most likely one.

Best wishes,
