It's been solved.
But who else has doubts? :/
Russia's defense ministry refuses to confirm that the lights were caused by its Bulava missile...
some purple smoke some distance north of where it happened slowly drifting further north.

They claimed to have fired from the White Sea, only problem with that explanation is the spiral originated from a mountain

This is what is called an "argument from imaginative incapacity". where a person equates his ability to conceive of something, with the existence of that thing.
300 miles away. how high would something have to be to be seen on the horizon of an observer's location?
Calculate this and report back to the class.
Now compare that to the altitude that ICBMs fly through.

But dont forget to calculate angle of sight.
Which to me looked close to the horizon, which means it couldnt have been over 400 km away. Had to be much closer

No that information is false because believe it or not, Fox News told the truth regarding the Russian Defense Minister, he refused to confirm it. That Yahoo story is disinformation.
Here is the Fox News Article:

Snippet from Fox News Article:
Russia's defense ministry refuses to confirm that the lights were caused by its Bulava missile...
The mystery continues...
[edit on 10/12/2009 by the_denv]
The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that a Bulava ballistic missile test had failed.....
"It has been established ... that the missile's first two stages worked as normal, but there was a technical malfunction at the next, third, stage of the trajectory," Reuters quoted a Defense Ministry spokesman as saying.......
"This is a catastrophe ... Huge funds were siphoned off from Russia's moribund navy for the Bulava project. In fact, billions of dollars have been flushed down the drain," Alexander Khramchikhin, chief analyst at the Moscow-based Institute of Military and Political Analysis, told Reuters.

I can almost accept that the perfection of the spiral is because it was in the upper atmosphere with no wind... what I still have not found is ANYONE attempting to explain the abrupt dissapearance of said spiral from the inside out.

Thats the part that I found stranger than the spiral itself
The way the darkness spread from the center outward is like nothing
that ive ever seen before outside of movies.
In fact, when I watch the blackness begin, I keep expecting to hear
a Sci Fi sound effect.
It really looks like some kind of CGI visual effect from a Star Trek movie.
