I searched and didn't find it, still can't. Think it's interesting just the same. Ufo or missle or space junk, who knows. I think it's more interesting to watch peoples reaction to something like this. The Russians are denying that it has to do with the missile launch, but are confirming a missile launch and moment ago China was found to have sent something up that could have possibly caused this. Simple explanation or not, this looks crazy, nothing that I've ever seen before.
More like "Russia calling it a missle to cover up UFO siting to cover up 9/11 government conspiracy which draws attention away from their role in the assasination of JFK".
Ohhhhhh thoooose Russians.

I'd like to bump this because of just how insane it looks. Holy smokes.
It's hard to fathom this being a ballistic missile just going haywire... But, then, I don't know enough about ballistic missiles to call the Russians on making crap up, either. It just looks like something from a sci-fi movie. I woulda peed myself if I had seen it. The tail looks pretty weird considering it all of a sudden just starts to spiral in what looks like a perfect circle. Not sure why the tail leads to the center when the spiral is vastly larger than that.
If I saw that I would have hid in my basement and promptly fashioned a tinfoil hat. But after seeing the explanation and the simulation of how this could have happened makes perfect sense. The conspiracy theorists that are call this a time portal, or a UFO, or a black hole do not have the ability to think 3 dimensionally and understand that depending on the trajectory, ground placement, point of view etc... the view of this thing could have been drastically different. It was just a freak accident that created a neat lightshow, with a bunch of flukey conditions, that happened to look like something some from a sci-fi movie, nothing else. And to the people that said this was a black hole....not one of us would be sitting here if a black hole even the size of a baseball collided with our atmosphere.

Both of those photos are long exposures, so you're seeing the whole event in one frame. Also, the object is at high enough altitude (and the angle of the sun is so low at that latitude) that it's picking up a bit of sunlight, so it's more illuminated than you'd expect. The blue corkscrew is the propellant ejecta as the missile reaches altitude while spinning slightly. Once it reaches altitude, it started spinning on an axis that had it pretty much perpendicular to the viewers. With each rotation it spewed out more fuel, which was caught in the sunlight and led to the spiral shape. When it ran out of fuel, the last rings of illuminated material slowly dissipate, leaving the black hole in the center.
Seems a perfectly reasonable explanation to me.
There's additional video out of Russia of a similar incident a day later that clearly shows the rocket. The Russians are now claiming that the spinning is intentional as they are testing the stabilization systems on the rocket. I don't know if I fully buy that, but they've got to spin it.
