Good job!

The one thing that still troubles me is the apparent blue shaft of visible light. It would have to come from some where and if Eiscat is the only installation in that direction you'd almost have to assume thats where it came from. We need to know more about what that facility is capable of or we're all just making WAGs.
How much more time, effort, analysis do I have to exert, and evidence do I have produce before the 'official explanation' of missile failure in turn crashes and burns ?
This is pure and simple nothing less than a deliberately created spiral structure using unknown but extremely advanced and sophisticated technology !

This one image kept creeping up in my head. It appears there is a light source (lower right) pointed up into the spiral.

But after looking things over again, I have to agree. The contrail is what I've been seeing all along. This is the image that did it for me. Now I just wonder what kind of exotic fuel they were using to leave a blue contrail. You can see the final bit of blue at the peak of the contrail as it dissipates. Still very weird.

I don't think it has much to do with some kind of exotic fuel. It's just the result of something called the "twilight effect" and is not an uncommon occurrence after missile launches done either just before dawn or just after dusk...
I cannot completely rule your evidence out as much of it makes sense. However, a couple of engineering friends of mine insist that there was a blast of electromagnetic radiation which made this spiral possible, and dually insist that it could not have been caused by a missile.
...the shape suggests the failure occurred well above the atmosphere. If it had occurred at lower altitudes, atmospheric drag would have caused the missile to fall quickly to Earth, creating a downward-pointing corkscrew pattern whose contrails would have been blown "this way and that" by wind, he told New Scientist.
The Bulava missile has three stages that fire in succession as it climbs up in altitude. "Probably what happened is that stages 1 and 2 did just fine and were discarded in turn, and then stage 3 started burning and almost immediately went wrong," McDowell says.
He says the third stage's nozzle, which directs the rocket's exhaust plume, may have fallen off or been punctured, causing the exhaust to come out sideways instead of out the back. "The sideways thrust sends the rocket into a spin, spewing flame as it goes," he says.

Suffice it to say that I'm rather shocked and amazed that their official story is true. I have a new respect for them now. Still won't keep me from verifying whatever I can but at least they are no worse than we are.
