The Russian missile launch was before dawn, from the White Sea.
The White Sea is southeast of Tromso.
The spiral was observed before dawn in the east southeast.
Does that increase the likelihood that the spiral was in fact produced by the missile?
How about this:

and if it is indeed the result of a failed missile launch, then it will be repeated at some point in the future, since it seems to so far be unprecedented (as far as the perfection of the spiral, as i said above)
in this day and age, cameras are everywhere yet nothing like this has ever been captured, or at least shown to the public, before.

I'm assuming that the atmospheric conditions for this event were *just right* for this visual to occur. I imagine that if this had been observed either further up, or down, range then the visual wouldn't have been nearly as spectacular.
edit to add - also, the photographs were taken with a long exposure. More light was visible in the photos than would be to the naked eye... or the videos.

"I wonder too about the blue color"...

Well, honestly, to me it looks as if the "blue streak" is an extension of what WAS a white contrail in the distance.
It was the fuel.
The spiral was something else entirely, in my estimation.
Something that was causing the rocket to wobble...... .... but to wobble in a controlled trajectory.
