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.
