The test was not "perfect". The goal was to reach orbit. That was done. However there was that pesky roll problem that set the second stage spinning.
The second stage began an initially slow roll midway through the burn that became more and more pronounced as the rocket climbed.
Musk said the second stage rolled more than expected and that engineers would look into the issue to make sure it was not an indicator of a more serious problem. But he said the roll did not affect the rocket's overall performance.

The spiral is consistent with effluent being expelled by a spinning vehicle. This was the first orbital test of a new rocket, not the time to be trying out new military hardware.
Spinning rockets produce spirals. They have for a long time.
1986:
Descriptions of the object and its motion varied, but a general picture soon emerged. It was called, in turn, a pinpoint, a moving spiral, a glowing cloud, and a big ball of fire. In Houston, Don Stockbauer described an orangish nebulosity surrounded by an irregularly shaped white cloud elongated vertically, with a dim starlike nucleus. Brenda Newton of Rochester, New York, recalled: “It started to get bigger and it had a tail. By the time we got out of the truck, it had begun to spiral. It lasted for a few minutes, then became like a dim star and floated toward the west.”

Why, is everyone so willing to swallow this Idea of a rocket launch, when it is in my view undoubtedly something quite different. I agree it maybe, either a, government black project like Harrp, or say an attempt at BlackHole generation, Whatever is being seen in the sky's over multiple countries, is so secret or dangerous, governments, will go to great length in their attempts to debunk any sightings, as a simple missile launch or natural occurring phenomenon.
If anyone has cared to notice, these events resemble, hundreds of spiral pictographs carved, and or painted on stone monuments, as well as cliff wall paintings from all ages. Including some of our own Native American pictographs, painted on the sides of sandstone cliffs, that I have seen with my own eyes.
They also hold a strong resemblance to many of the crop circles, we see in many parts of the earth, with more appearing each year. That I believe is a form of Mathematical communication.
So before we right all this off as some missile launch, and I agree that with such fine research by some researchers in this thread, a case can be made for this idea.
Lets use our conspiratorial minds, and look a little deeper. I for one think something this momentous needs some hard thinking, outside the rational box.
I wish you well

I can answer that. Its because it makes them uncomfortable to feel that there may be an answer outside of their conventional beliefs of reality.

The nominal burn time for the Falcon 9:
1st stage = 170 secs = 2 mins 50 secs
2nd stage = 345 secs = 5 mins 45 secs
Total burn: 8 mins 35 secs
Now, the east coast of Australia was crossed by the Falcon 9 approximately 65 mins after launch. This therefore begs the following 2 questions:
Why would mission control wait almost another hour
(65mins - 8mins 35 secs = 56 mins 25 secs)
before deciding to release what you label as 'effluent' (unspent fuel) ?
Why would mission control release this unspent fuel DIRECTLY OVER Coolangatta, which is a major Australian city in Queensland ... rather than wait a few more mins until the Falcon 9 was well and truly over the Pacific ocean ? Hmmm ... quite a blatant disregard for the population directly under the released 'effluent', wouldn't you say, Phage ?
I'll tell you what ... this 'effluent' release explanation for both the Norway and now the Australian spiral event is starting to wear thin
