I can't believe I have to post this again. So far every single expert in the field has said it was a failed missile. Those on here who think it's something else are like people thousands of years ago pointing at the sun and saying it's a god because they simply don't understand. I've had enough with being polite on this matter - people spewing this 'it's not a missile' drivel are making ATS look ridiculous. The evidence for it being a missile is everywhere, from the shipping warnings, to the clearly-visible exhaust plume extending all the way down to the horizon, to the two spirals caused by the fuel leaking, and the fuel being burned.
It's preposterous to claim it's anything else. Poor trigonometry isn't going to change that.

Sure. Oh look, I didn't even have to conjure up baseless ideas of EISCAT or show everyone how I can't perform trigonometry.
In the absence of force, a body either is at rest or moves in a straight line with constant speed.
... or show everyone how I can't perform trigonometry.

I appreciate, and agree with your opinions, but we must be more receptive to criticism, choosing our answers and analyses carefully.
Although it may be true they have done nothing to prove their alternative scenario, that does not mean we should stop trying to prove ours

I've shown the simulation video before, and that uses only Newton's laws of motion. Russia admitted to launching a missile. There is an exhaust plume exactly consistent with the thousands of exhaust plumes missiles have launched before.
The whole thing is so laughably simple it doesn't need explaining. ATS is one of the only places on the net where people are still baffled and confused by the event. Everyone else knew what it is - it's so simple.
Russia, as they said, launched a missile, and it failed by venting unburned fuel laterally, while still propelling itself forward. As the lateral leak wasn't exactly in line with the centre of gravity, it started to spin. A spinning body ejecting something will eject in a spiral, as we saw.
You've not explained how it can't be a missile yet. I'm still waiting for that.
You've yet to offer any proof at all
Whereas I gave you links to Russia's admittance of a failed missile launch, the testimony of numerous rocket scientists and astronomers, and to the missile involved, and the laws of motion that explain how what we saw was formed - all conveniently located in a couple of Wikipedia posts. Not to mention the simulation of how a rocket can do what we saw.
And what have you posted? Links to EISCAT and HAARP, tied in with posts detailing exactly how little of either you know.
We're still waiting.

The sources on Wiki are cited. The article isn't evidence in itself, but contains links to the evidence. I don't have to prove that a missile can vent fuel laterally - that happens frequently.
We have two explanations:
1. A missile failed
2. Some sort of newfangled science from EISCAT using technology no one knows about, doing something hitherto unseen
We know missiles exist, we know they fail. We know because of basic Newtonian physics that a missile 100km in the atmosphere, if leaking from the side, will form a pinwheel, creating a spiral of ejecta. That is simply unarguable. Russia issued a warning before the event to shipping, then admitted to it afterwards. Numerous missile experts and astronomers have said it was clearly, obviously a failed missile test. No evidence has been shown by anyone (even here on ATS) that it couldn't have been a missile.
We don't, however, know anything about this new EISCAT physics you are claiming exists, so first it is up to you to disprove the missile theory (and all the experts who agree with it), then you can demonstrate your EISCAT magic hypothesis (who only you and other people on ATS with no background in science agree with).
You are arguing from ignorance, and it's showing. You are making the extraordinary claims, so where is your extraordinary evidence? You've not posted anything, just guesswork about EISCAT and purported abilities you can't demonstrate for squat.

Except for the fact that the EISCAT facility apparently has launch capability (sounding rockets) of it's own (as shown by me in another post - go look for it) ... so now we have TWO possible sources for that exhaust trail.
