scientific experiment.
What exactly was the material that was ejected? Like I said, I don't know but my guess is that it was unburned fuel. It doesn't really matter. Something came out of the spinning rocket and produced the spiral.

But there was a bright lightsource in the middle while spiraling, wich looked like a burning exhaust, something hot and bright anyway.
That wasn't due to reflection of sunlght, since the spiral itself was much less bright.
How do you explain that, it sure wasn't unburned fuel in the middle of it.
Why don't we see reflection of sunlight from the remains of the rocket when the black hole appears?
And do you think that it maybe was supposed to do this? I don't see a rocket do this because of a failure.
Thanks.
Rocket engines burn very brightly, particularly when seen up the kazoo.
Maybe it was supposed to do that. A missile failure does not mean an explosion. It means that the payload did not reach its target. We do not know the failure mode.

Yes obviously.
So it was dumping fuel while spiraling with the exhaust still burning?
The missile has probably come out of control and exploded. The peculiar spiral shaped light pattern comes from reflection of the sun in the leaking fuel
