from this it looks like point of origin is behind the mountain, terrestrial. IS there a research or military facility there?

First up, OP great thread!! Big star and flag!!
One thing i don't understand is Russia is a big place and probably has multible suitable locations for launching rockets. Why on earth would they be testing rockets in the direction of where most of our world leaders are getting together to talk about our climate?
I know the test was probably way more to the north than Copenhagen is but why even take the risk? Why not wait a couple of days?
Anyway, good thread.
Peace

G´morning.
I´ve read all the posts since yesterday.
So many people saying its a rocket. Can you really tell it is? NO!
So many people talking about russia, they havent confirmed or declined anything.
The only source that is more or less relaible at this very moment is the swedish and norwegian papers.
No source in russia is belivable. Or in any other part of the world.
Not a single rocket, or similar has ever been launched in my country, sweden, or in norway that looks like this.
Norwegian defence spokesman Jon Espen Lien also said the lights were probably from a Russian missile test claiming it was normal for Russia to use the White Sea and the Barents Sea as a testing ground.
Tromsō Geophysical Observatory researcher Truls Lynne Hansen agreed, saying the missile had likely veered out of control and exploded, and the spiral was light reflecting on the leaking fuel.
But the mystery deepened last night as Russia denied it had been conducting missile tests in the area.
A Moscow news outlet quoted the Russian Navy as denying any rocket launches from the White Sea area.
Norway should be informed of such launches under international agreements, it was stressed.
The Russian Defence Ministry was unavailable for comment

When there is a test there is a Notice To Airmen (NOTAM) posted as to the approximate area the missile will travel through, along with a window of when launch will occur.

MOSCOW, September 18 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Navy on Thursday successfully tested a Bulava sea-launched ballistic missile, which hit targets on testing grounds in Kamchatka in Russia's Far East, a spokesman for the Defense Ministry said.
