How about this calculation:
Normal Moon distance: 390000km
Moon diameter: 3474km
Why not simply divide these numbers by 1000?
That would make Moon's distance: 390km
Moon diameter: 3,474km
Now multiply that by 2 or 3 and you should get the spirals diameter.
Am I correct?
What do you think?

Then let me rephrase it. If the missile was a failed launch due to guidance failure, then we should assume that the missile would not make corrections for the coriolis effect. Your links about the coriolis effect(the wiki link to be exact), shows that in the northern hemisphere it would make an unguided object traveling in one direction(east south west north) to always veer right of it original point of launch. So if it was launched to the east it would veer south(nowhere near Norway), and if launched northerly it would veer east, over russia. For it to go in the direction of norway the failed missile would have have launched either to the south-ish or to the west to end up anywhere north, north west.

Re: Regarding plasma/aurora phenomena over Norway
This event was natural and occurs when two Birkeland currents
interact, usually around 300 -500 km above Earth. Birkeland currents
most often occur in pairs because of the 1/r attractive force between
them.
This is not an EISCAT heating phenomena.

I'm really sorry but I simply don't understand what you're saying with the above
Could you please give a bit more explanation as to why you're manipulating the moons distance and diameter and why pick 2 or 3 as a multiplier ? Whats the significance of these two values as you use them ?
And how does the above calculation equate to the spirals diameter ?
Doesn't that ignore the spirals height (altitude) above ground ?

I realy wish people would quote reasons why a photograph is lighter, darker, more blurred with just a hint of knowledge. Your explanation of the photographs is wrong. Full stop, wrong.
I have explained this in the other threads yet posters continue to use the photograph information to shore up their own views...so yet again I will explain, in laymans terms how the photographs were taken.
1. The exposure on both photograph 1 and 2 is almost identical, the reason the sky is blurred is due to the fact that photograph 1 was focussed to infinity wheres photograph 2 was not, had a larger depth of field due to not only getting closer to the subject but also zooming in.
3. What are the causes of blurred photographs? photographer movement, subject movement, fast shutter speed with low Iso and more importantly the chosen F Stop to get the chosen depth of field.
4. The frame and video from the video footage is the footage that is wrong not the still photographs. Video cameras can not cope with exposure compensation highs or lows. How many times have you seen a piece of film go from a light to dark area and completely change its optimum exposure settings resulting in a second of iether black or white footage.
Well since you said that the Moon's angular value is ~0.5 degrees I brought the Moon closer. I reduced it's distance and diameter by equal %. At this size and distance it's angular value should stay the same to the viewer. Since the spiral is at approximately same distance it should be a good comparison. If you raise the closer Moon's distance to 500km it's diameter should be 4,5km. 500km should be the same distance the spiral was at and Moon's angular valuse is still the same.

The Tsar Bomba I mentioned earlier was detonated on Novaya Zemlya. It's explosion was no higher than 10km but it was seen in Finland. Does that mean that Finland got nuked?
Edit: The mushroom cloud was 70km high.
[edit on 14/12/2009 by DGFenrir]
The bomb was dropped from an altitude of 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi); it was designed to detonate at a height of 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) over the land surface (4.2 kilometres (2.6 mi) over sea level) by barometric sensors.
The fireball touched the ground, reached nearly as high as the altitude of the release plane, and was seen and felt almost 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) from ground zero. The heat from the explosion could have caused third degree burns 100 km (62 miles) away from ground zero. The subsequent mushroom cloud was about 64 kilometres (40 mi) high (nearly seven times higher than Mount Everest) and 40 kilometres (25 mi) wide.
