I can diss-spell one line of thinking here and that is that this is a missile or a rocket. I work in the ballistics industry, make rockets and missiles, well i dont make them i sell them but that is not caused by any rocket or missile.
To me this looks like a quantum mechanical event, seriously, look at how uniformed the circling patterns are. Whatever it is its disrupting ALL the matter around it.

A Russian rocket.
The exhaust trail before the spiral is obvious.

The Russian Northern Fleet is not aware of the launch of the rocket

The development of such artificial formations in the upper atmosphere is accompanied by rather unusual optical phenomena caused by the scattering of sunlight from the combustion products as well as their interaction with constituents of the upper atmosphere [1 - 5].
Spira mirabilis
"The fundamental mathematical property of the equiangular (or logarithmic) spiral corresponds precisely to the biolagical principle that governs the growth of the mollusk's shell. This principle is the simplest possible: the size increases but the shape is unaltered. The molusk's shell grows longer and wider to accommodate the growing animal, but the shell remains always similar to itself. It grows at one nd only, each increment of lenght being balanced by a proportional increase of radious so that its form is unchanged. The shell grows by accretion of material; more accurately, it accumulates rather than grows.
The only mathematical curve to follow this pattern of growth is the logarithmic spiral. Because of this, Bernoulli described it as spira mirabilis. Of course, the pattern of development can be imitated by mathematical forms other than this spiral. A rectangle, a paralleogram, a cone, etc. can grow while remaining similar to itself in shape. This interested not only in Greeks of 500 B.C. but also the Egyptians a thousand years earlier.
Equiangular spiral (also known as logarithmic spiral, Bernoulli spiral, and logistique) describe a family of spirals. It is defined as a curve that cuts all radii vectors at a constant angle.
Explaination:
1. Let there be a spiral (that is, any curve where f is a monotonic inscreasing function)
2. From any point P on the spiral, draw a line toward the center of the spiral. (this line is called the radial vector)
3. If the angle formed by the radial vector and the tangent for any point P is constant, the curve is an equiangular spiral.
A special case of equiangular spiral is the circle, where the constant angle is 90 Degrees.
Equiangular spiral with 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 85 degrees. (left to right, top to bottom) "
