In the following images, you can clearly see on the horizon what appears to be an exhaust trail and has been taken as evidence of a missile launch ... in this case the launch of a Bulava missile on 9 December.

The outer ring expanded to that size due to centrifugal force. When you spin something there is an outward force away from the center of rotation. When the missile was spinning and expelling those gases, the centrifugal force from the spin shot the gases away from the center. So each rotation made a small ring, and the ring slowly expanded bigger and bigger until it was many times larger than its original rotation.
This is why at the end, when the missile is self destructed, there is a dark circle that appears to get bigger and bigger. The centrifugal forces shot the white gases out and they are still moving away from the center even after the missile is gone. That then creates a huge circular area with no white gases in the center (dark circle), which is just an empty area of sky.

This is what I have been saying! The pictures are completely consistent with a missle launch! The only anamoly is the "spiral" time exposure!

While you've brought up some very valid points OP I'm not sure why you're completely dismissing the photographic evidence of a missile launch. You make note of the exhaust plume that's clearly visible on the horizon (to the east, towards direction of the White Sea?) and yet you stop short of admitting they're from a missile... (for obvious reasons)
So then what do you attribute the exhaust plumes, which clearly resemble those from other rocket launches, to be from?
Would it be fair to just dismiss that evidence?
Also, for my knowledge, do you know exactly where the images above were taken from?

Was the rocket fueled with white gasses?
Well, what was there to disturb the shape?
no, solid propellant

Maintained it's shape? No.... it all maintained it's trajectory. The gases were ejected by the spin, and put in motion in a certain trajectory. The gases maintained their trajectory because there was no outside forces to really change the trajectory of said gases.
No, and you know that is not what I meant (I hope).
