I found this info on the following link:
http://www.barentsobserver.com/index...age=0&showall= There are now sources (TV2) in Norway reporting the Russians have confirmed a failed Bulava ICBM test (possibly the last ever Bulava). In addition there were mariner warnings to stay out of that area of the White Sea for a rocket launch. The giant spiral shaped light that could be seen in the eastern sky for several minutes on Wednesday morning was probably caused by a failed missile launch from the White Sea, several Norwegian space and defense experts believe. Interviewed by the Norwegian TV2, an anonymous Russian military source says it was failed launch of a Bulava missile from a submarine in the White Sea Wednesday morning. Researcher at the Tromsø Geophysical Observatory Truls Lynne Hansen is certain that the light was caused by a missile launch: - The missile has probably come out of control and exploded. The peculiar spiral shaped light pattern comes from reflection of the sun in the leaking fuel, he said to Aftenposten. Spokesman in the Norwegian Defense Jon Espen Lien says that the Norwegian Defense does not know for sure what the light was, but that it probably was a Russian missile: - It is quite normal that Russia uses the White Sea and the Barents Sea as testing grounds for weapons. The failed missile launch that was visible over large areas in Northern Norway are now making headlines world-wide. The Russian TV-internet site Russia Today had a news storry late Wednesday evening under the headline "UFO-show in Norway sky welcomes Obama for Nobel Prize ceremony." According to NRK, Arkhangelsk Radio sent out an advance warning about several missile launches from the White Sea in the period December 7-10.The warning included launches on the night to Wednesday. An anonymous source in the Northern Fleet told Norwegian news paper VG that they had no information about the incident. Press Attaché at Russia’s Embassy in Oslo Vladimir Isupov did neither have any that could explain the light phenomenon over Northern Norway. |

What seems odd here is the rate of expansion of the diameter of the spiral. I can't imagine (if it were a rocket) hot fuel staying luminous through the entire cycle of expansion..to light up the whole sky like it did. Seems strange.

Yah but when the shutter stays open on cameras its job is to collect light so that even dim sources will come out very bright, depending on how long you set the shutter to stay open. I have a digital sri so I have played around with iso speeds while snapping pictures. It just has all the signs of it, the over exposed ground, the extra bright lights, the bluring, its all there.

Oh I absolutely know what you mean... I play with effects with my canon eos 50d... but in the vid it just seems really odd. Even the little halo at the end.

Its a good point I wondered that as well, from the videos the whole incident seemed to be over pretty quick, who knows though, maybe the photographer just drives around with it ready to go just incase something comes up, I know I have missed more then one nice picture because of my camera not ready to go.
