Experts say a reported UFO sighting in Norway was probably an electrocuted cat.

People in Lardal reported seeing a fire ball explode in the night sky and fall slowly down to earth.

But investigators think they've solved the mystery after the charred body of a cat was found at the foot of an electrical mast.

They believe the unlucky cat climbed up the mast and touched a live wire, reports Aftenposten.

Lars Helge Sogn says what people saw was the cat exploding and falling off the mast.

Because "UFO" only means "unidentified flying object."

My cat's have expressed a desire for the ceiling fan, but never actually succeded. We did have one get fried on a power transformer though. He survived, minus his tail and an ear.
