People who play with hobby rockets say this happens quite often and the site in norway is said to be near a missile testing spot.
Also this following picture that looks quite dramatic is a photo taken with adjusted ISO levels (shutter speed) like people do of the night sky. You can tell by the brightness of the city lights.
I wish it was more though.

I'm responding at I read through this thread. Wouldn't a rocket have some sort of fire type exhaust jets visible? I am not discounting it is something from the ground going up, but what? It does not act like a rocket from the normal visual idea of what a rocket looks like going up. I have seen them spiral out of control, but not in a perfect pattern such as this.
