Where is the LHC located? Any possible connection to it?

Switzerland. Not likely related but then again, who knows eh

Actually I'm pretty sure this is just a rocket spiraling out of control.

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.

Agreed. It does appear to be spiraling UP from the ground or horizon in the manner of a runaway rocket.

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.

Here's more on the failed rocket explanation, including a video simulation and photos of the rocket trail from the ground up:

This is how the mysterious spiral happened

The biggest problem with the simulation is that it shows the blue stream as pointy at the wrong end. However, if this stream was mostly formed before the white spiral, then the lower part is in the atmosphere and would not tend to disperse quickly. As the rocket gets higher and the atmosphere thins, the blue stream would disperse more. The white spiral would have to be formed entirely out of the atmosphere in order for the interia of the smoke to cause it to travel as it does. Taking these factors into account, the simulation is believable, and the failed rocket explanation plausible.

Keep in mind that it is almost dawn so the dramatic lighting effect is from the sun just below the horizon shining on smoke that is mostly above the atmosphere. The phenomon does not disappear like a pure energy emanation would, but disperses slowly like smoke. So, I have to go with frickin awesome pictures of a lousy Rusky rocket.
