Above is a link that has a rocket leaving a spiral trail.I suppose if you were in the right position you could look into the spiral tunnel created by the spinning rocket moving through artic ice crystals in the atmosphere.

I think the spiral effect is simply due to the pictures being taken with a long exposure - hence it does not appear in the video or some other, darker, images.

Some of the videos shows it, so the exposure theory does not match see this video for example

My explanation would be that the only source of light (the rockets exhaust) iluminating the "rocket" trail is in fact moving making it looking like the spiral is moving.
At unknown distances with an unknown rocket with unknown fuel source; it would be impossible to prove but it would be a logical answer.
