I admit it doesnt sufficently explain the spiral (the shell spins as it has rifled fins to maintain stability). But this sort of spiral would perhaps last 30 secs at the most, if that. So I am at odds as to why it was present for so long. I mean it could also be a hologram, that seems to fit the characteristics of the case much better than anything else. But as to why the military would do that and then cover it up, beats me.

Interesting ...could you provde a link to the video of your evidence of Railguns leaving a trail of plasma as I'd love to see that effect in action.
Only time I've ever seen that kind of thing was in the movies???

The main reason that I do not believe that it was a rocket, was because of how the "Exhaust" is illuminated.
Check this video...
This is a night launch of the NASA sts-126 mission.
As you can see... the "Vapor Trail" was not luminescent... as it shouln't be... rocket exhaust is chemically spent, and practically inert for the purposes of illumnation.
So, we must presume that the "Vapor Trail" in the "Spiral Video" is being illuminated by the Rocket Flame (Or ice crystals being mixed with the vapor, and illuminated by the engine.)

First off, there is no such thing as a "nuclear missile test range". They are INTERCONTINENTAL missiles.
I am sorry dude but...
The Kura test range is an intercontinental ballistic missile impact area located in northern Kamchatka.
So why not fire their hardware in that direction? Or does the trajectory of an intercontinental ballistic missile ask for a launch in a different direction then were your target is? I have no idea of what trajectory such a missile would take..
