I am an American soldier, and I was sent to Iraq last year . I was at the carver's combat outpost in Salman Pak, 20 miles south of Baghdad. 

I was standing guard at the first block with half a dozen Ugandan soldiers from a company called EDOT. We sat and looked at the same lights that were visible over Norway on December 9, 2009.

I called on the radio, and they told me that it was probably a lighting projectile. I've seen hundreds of them, but it wasn't like that. It was the same in the photos from Norway. 

I just saw these photos on the foxnews website, and a shiver ran down my spine.
