pretty fast on that reply 37 minutes or did you thought the same thing ?
or is there a team working with you ?
it all conjuncture but remember this it might trigger something the viewer this thread has not noticed before
www.sgo.fi...
37 mins was more than sufficient time to read through your links and very quickly isolate the pertinent points of interest ... experiment launched ... experiment failed ... no further launches since - what else is there to say ?
As for your above link ... what's it's relevance ?
Sodankylä site is one of the receiving sites of the incoherent scatter radar system ... and thats ALL it is. It's job is to RECEIVE !

Hey Wolf-
Can you remind me again where we're getting the 12 min duration time from? Is that from eye witness testimony or actual video? The longest clip of the spiral I've seen is under a minute long....I imagine this may have been covered already but to go back and find it in this thread would be tedious at best... thanks in advance for any info

The stills below are from a minuteman III launch video I posted on the last page, so in case you missed it, here they are with the clip posted beneath.
This is final stage separation of the reentry vehicle. Now we still don't know, AFAIK, what the nature of the actual failure of the Bulava was, but we do know that something went wrong in its 3rd stage-- remember too the Bulava is equipped with 4 stabilizing thrusters- a misfire with any one of these could very well have played a role in this as well
Perhaps the Bulava has similar capabilities with it's reentry vehicle and suffered from a failure with an early firing of its spin gas generators (supposing it even has them)... All speculation on my part here, but you can't dismiss the stark similarities- gas ejection from 2 nozzles spewing in spiral form, from a 3rd stage separation, in space....
Better to watch the video clip...

video here, 3:53 mark
Would you consider this as a possible answer to your question about how a missile could create a perfect clockwise spinning spiral in space? If not could you elaborate why this explanation fails more than your radar explanation? or maybe you can post clips of EISCAT doing this...
[edit on 2-3-2010 by PhotonEffect]
The Bulava missile failed, so the point in its altitude where it should start to fire is of little consequence, as we'd have to start to pass judgement on what's allowed to fail in the launch, and what isn't in order to draw conclusions from such an observation.
As for whether it has enough fuel? It's likely, as the third stage of the Bulava is considerably more maneuverable than the Minuteman II, as it is designed to penetrate missile defences that simply didn't exist when the Minuteman IIs were made.
Even if it wasn't boosters on the rocket that caused the spiral, the video shows how simply ejecting material from a point (two in this case) on the side of a missile will cause it to spin perfectly (again, thanks to Newton's first law of motion), which was Wolfenz's question (how can a missile make a perfect spiral).

Interesting. I'm a new member here at ats. A current student of film considering the events of the Norwegian Spiral. I am interested in this event in the sense that I feel it could make for an incredible wake up call to the public. Is science going in the direction that is best for all? I think of the late great Michael Crichton; prior to his early death due to cancer; his books took on this subject (not his latest ghostwritten work, Pirate latitudes) seem to be in this same vein of thought. Genetic engineering, companies patenting your genes, and global warming; these critiques all call into question the direction we are heading. Fear has been used to long to control the masses and silence them.
