Of course it's a missile launch

this one is best I've seen so far it shows it blossoming

Wow did you catch the flying rods in that video?

AMAZING

strange cone is visible that disappears into a spiral

these all look like fancy fireworks to me and people are not alarmed, they seem to be partying.

Youtube is literally inundated with new vids of this :

thanks Obama bringing us to our death. Like he ever gave a rats ass about the US.

well clouds don't glow so that kind of rules that out.

Rockets create a glowing could of smoke behind them now??

Clouds do glow when they are illuminated high in the atmosphere by the sun, above a night-time scene. I've seen these same trails from missile test several times over California.

Well there is your answer for 'spirals over norway'

failed rocket test, the spiral is the rocket spinning around in circles- instead of going straight

awesome fireworks, can be seen up to 1000 miles! i can see now how they killed all them birds that one new years eve.

it burns in the atmosphere booster stage

The rockset test did not fail to my eye. The launch trail gets distorted like that due to different winds at different altitudes.

A small spiral at the end of re-entry is created by spin stabilisation of MIRV module.

In norway spiral it was massive due to ruptured fuel tank, most likely a result of succesful missile defense tech. test.

Topol-M is a three-stage rocket, 1 stage removed and burn
in to atmosphere how spiral forme
