So the next question is where did the ICBM land?

Looks like the rockets dropped off an afterburner that's spiralled after becoming dettached, causing the spiral effect in the sky which you see disappate as the other object moves away from it.

Hi Carl,

Amazing pic. The site you linked has a bit below the picture saying that they think they've worked out the cause. Apparently a Russian submarine fired an ICBM "accidentally" (oops?) and the initial rocket booster phase created this image. Must have been amazing to see.

Regards,
Chris

Dear All,

I know it has nothing to do with birds, but I think there may be some
on the list interested. On the morning of 9/12/09, a mysterious
luminous
spiral
appeared in the skies over northern Norway. I imagine Wim Vader had a
good
view, if he was at home.

Images and the story can be found at  http://spaceweather.com . It
really
is worth a look. I have never seen anything like it.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford
