The exhaust trail can get pretty ratty.
Here's a launch from Vandenberg (one that worked)
Space shuttle:

WORM
HOLE
seriously.. If I had a IR camera I bet I would see some sort of craft flying through there.
a rocket?! seriouslly? ... explain the video... how could that possibly happen.. oh and not to mention that the spiral arms are there before the hole expands so its not like it was able to explode 2x in the same place... cmon

It can account for a spherical spiral better even than a flat spiral.

Nobody seems to be mentioning that witnesses have described this as a "sphere" and a "glowing ball" and not flat. This also explains why the spiral appears to be directly facing the camera in every photo.
I don't think a rocket can account for a spherical spiral?

Guys doesn't the fact that the spiral is always directly facing the camera mean that it was spherical?

If you imagine that this launch came from a very long distance from the photos' vantage point, and that the rocket probably entered Earth's upper atmosphere or even space, you begin to see that the scale isn't a problem. If the rocket was a test of an ICBM, it would have had a fair amount of unspent fuel as it reached the upper atmosphere, because it still would have a long way to go. So it's guidance goes haywire somewhere close to the horizon in that photo that's been labeled above, it starts into a spiral but it is still moving along its trajectory. Meanwhile, a fuel leakage (or hell, even a condensation trail) begins, and as the rocket spirals onward through its ballistic arc, the cloud gets sprayed out and slowly continues to move outward from the rocket. This continues until the rocket finishes its current burn stage, or runs out of fuel, or explodes, at which point the light of the thruster vanishes, the cloud glows only from the light of the sun over the horizon, and the last new part of the spiral cloud slowly expand outward like the rest of it, resulting in the dark "hole."
The entire thing is most likely extremely three dimensional, but most of the photos taken are from near head on, and from a great distance from the rocket's origin, so the spirals appear to have all been in one plane.

Thanks! There is clearly some chaos going on there.
