This is amazing!

Its not a rocket...

How did the media "know" it was a russian rocket when russia didn't even address it yet?

The same spiral light happend over china in 1988.

The Russians denied it at first, but then they admitted to it. Which makes it seem like it really wasn't a missile if they where denying it at first. What would they have to hide with denying it, if they where just going to come clean anyways?

I really don't have a theory to what it is, nor do I want to make one.

He's right, here's a video of the light in China. Its a little different, but they are both spirals.

 

[GBear]

we spoke about it in school
could be either the aurora boreales ?! (polar light)
or maybe a failed russian rocket launch who knows
id get out of there lol

ALIENS!!

Definitely not Aurora Borealis. Actually, I had to study why it occurs for my Electromagnetism exam tomorrow. It occurs because of the Earth's magnetic poles causing particles to undergo cyclotron motion, slowly travelling in a helical trajectory towards the pole.

By the way, that's Photoshopped.

new theory from a renowned expert

"tehlemur: Due to the war of the soldier and demoman in the popular game team fortress 2, the spam from both enemies caused a rift that began to emit electromagnetic waves that consequently crashed servers that were filled with the spam."

quite the reliable source :d

epic.

Did you find this or did you actually see it?

It looks WAYYYY shopped, don't belive everything my friend

I second this. Those guys need all the help they can get

The gravity well of a black hole does not have to be incredibly large, there are microscopic black holes as well, so I'm sure there are some in between. Also, we wouldn't have to die because the energy in a black hole obviously is not infinite as is normally believed (otherwise, how would we have a universe?). It would eventually destroy itself as it attracted more mass, its the same principle for how anionic radii are bigger than the normal radii. As more mass is in the field, the farther out it will stay, due to less gravitational pull on all the mass around it.

The micro ones boil away in seconds, Read: Hawking Radiation

Also please read up on how these things are formed. Also did you say that the energy of a black hole is not infinite, as in they dissipate? Really?

He's right, here's a video of the light in China. Its a little different, but they are both spirals.

Pretty creepy...up until the nucleus shot upwards like a rocket at around 58 seconds. The video appears to be one of a long list of failures of the Chinese space program.


...also it's not shooped, do five seconds of research on this, it was picked up by every major news organization.

You are talking about super massive black holes? Well I'm not. There are different ways to form smaller black holes, specifically atomic collisions. There doesn't have to be any negative heat reactions from collapsing stars, this is a much smaller scale.

And yes, I was saying that they dissipate, because if the energy of black hole was infinite, then there would be no universe. Think about it:

Infinite energy = Infinite Kinetic Energy = Infinite Compression = No universe

And the only reason that I'm not accepting the missile theory is because, in my opinion, it was way too stable to be a missile failure. Look at the one from China, it didn't last even an eighth of this one, was much more erratic, and it had no tail.

head hurts...

i call illuminati..

LOL

Looks photoshoped yea If its real: WHOOO!! AWESOME

 

[king killer]

looks shopped

Its not there are tons of people that saw it.

Yes, small as in micro black holes...which are not formed by conventional means and last no where near as long as that spiral. Nor do they have the gravitational energy to create such a formation. Nor was their any reason for on to form.

Also, yes stellar size black holes eventually evaporate like their mico cousins...except they take billions of years to do so.

It's a rocket...even the Russians say it was their rocket. Do you know how difficult it's is to get the Russians admit that they had botched a rocket launch, and one that is part of a military exercise? I'm pretty surprised they admitted to anything at all.

Quoted from this article:

The Russian explanation makes the most sense to William Dimpfl, a senior research scientist at the Aeorospace Corporation.

Dr. Dimpfl, whose non-profit conducts missile research for the US Air Force and NASA, and who has carried out research on the way exhaust is emitted from rockets and the space shuttle, says he's fully convinced that the spiral plume was caused by a man-made missile.

"I looked at the video and my first thought was it?s surprising how pretty it is," says Dimpfl. "But I had an understanding very quickly of what was going on. There?s nothing surprising in (the video)."

Dimpfl says he doesn't have inside knowledge of Russian missile testing protocols, but estimates that the Russian plan was for the missile to splash down in the Pacific Ocean. He says that when the US conducts missile tests it also tries to ensure that the missile will splash down in the ocean if something goes wrong and it falls short.

He said after watching the video that he observed no "atmospheric drag" on the event, which implied the missile was higher than 100 kilometers from the earth's surface ? beyond the line between our atmosphere and space. The large, white spiral in the video and images is, in his opinion, "an illuminated solid propellent motor." The spiral, he says, "comes when you have a motor firing off the axis of the vehicle at right angles to the line that connects to the center of mass" yielding a "pinwheel."

As to the tighter, bluish covered spiral that UFO believers have pointed to, he says: "The blue plume was from a motor that was still attached to the vehicle." He says the bluish color was from aluminum oxide that is typically added to the solid propellant used for such motors. "What I believe is that the blue is from solar fluorescence from chemicals in the plume. That?s just aluminium oxide that the sunlight is scattering from. Aluminum oxide is the chemical formula for sapphires, so what you?re looking at is sunlight scattering off lots of tiny sapphires."

I think I'll listen to the experts on this one. I also agree with Sexy Beast. If the Russians claim it was their rocket, then it probably was.

okay the conversation can cease, the real answer has been discovered, lol

 

[klepto]

it was on the news they said a bomb russia was testing that had like 10 atom bombs on it exploded but it wasnt loaded just a test

...Epic.
