They were flying at first in a corkscrew like fashion spinning around and around with the white tail swirling around behind. Then they seemed to correct coarse (or emerge from the wormhole) and continued in a north eastern direction.

That video is of a Soyuz stage separation.
What you saw was probably not that.
The third one was taken in Tomsk, Russia, on September 14, 2006. The citizens of Tomsk saw an unidentified flying object in the sky in the evening on Thursday.
According to messages of many eyewitnesses and amateur video recording, the luminescent object emitting three long lights rays was seen high in the sky.
After several minutes the object changed into a bright point which moved in cockling trajectory having left a short track. It is possible that starting a rocket from the cosmodrome Baikanur was taken for the unidentified flying object, the Department of natural resources and environment protection reported.
The starting a rocket, one of the stage of which have fallen to the territory of Tomsk, might been taken for the UFO really, the chairman of the regional Civil Defense committee Victor Lotchinkin said.
On the other version the citizens might watch a unique meteor caused by air discharge, which could take any shape, he underlined.

Soyuz rockets have a kind of distinctive exhaust pattern.

That was the statement, now comes the part where you reveal the information that you supposedly obtain to back it up.
When was this footage taken, where was it taken?
Where was this supposed Soyuz stage separation taking place, and at what time?
Do you obtain any type of footage showing a similar phenomenon taking place from a similar event?
I'd like to know if what you say stands up for scrutiny, or if it's just what you assume is the most plausible,

It barely cleared off in time but the space shuttle Discovery, followed by the International Space Station (ISS), crossed the southern sky a minute apart last night under partly cloudy conditions here in Duluth. Something about the shuttle looked peculiar. Normally it's a solitary, moving light but this time it sported a misty appendage that looked a lot like a comet tail (sketch below). At first I thought the craft was causing the clouds below it to glow but the "tail" had a distinct shape that never varied along the entire path.
A quick e-mail to a satellite expert confirmed my suspicion. The little curved tail was a waste water dump executed by pilot Kevin Ford. Ford vented accumulated water waste from the fuel cells and other processed water used in the shuttle into the vacuum of space where it instantly formed a cloud of ice crystals. Sunlight striking the cloud made it glow more than 200 miles overhead. The fuel cells combine hydrogen and oxygen to provide electrical power to the shuttle and produce water as a byproduct. It has to be dumped once in a while to keep the cells functioning properly.
Did anyone else this see the little cloud? I've watched many dozens of shuttle passes but this was my first water dump. Just to be sure I wasn't imagining it, I compared the shuttle to the space station a minute later -- the station was brilliant point sans tail.
