Occam's razor?

Failing that, perhaps Nicola Tesla has come back from the dead to wreak havok on us all!

Oh well, no UFO's or holes in the space time continuum, it was just those crazy Russians testing their missiles.
I kid you not:

Apparently the big swirly light was caused by a failed ICBM launched by a Russian submarine...the article doesn't quiet explain why there was a big swirly light, but I haven't watched the attatched video

Where did you get a warp drive? I'll give you 5000 space bucks for it.

Update 2: Okay, so a genuine rocket scientist whose name may or may not be simulations [http://twitter.com/doctoratlantis/status/6504652897] that would show how this phenomenon would be created, and it's a bit easier to swallow now. But ... I mean, come on, the guy's name is Dr. Atlantis! He's either an alien or a supervillain, and either way you know he's gotta be in on it.
Dr. Atlantis? That's awesome.

Forget geological cataclysm or gamma ray burst. The world is going to end in 2012 when James Bond trips over his own shoelace and fails to stop Dr. Atlantis from using his spiral rockets to launch mind control devices into all the world's major cities. Causing all the world's governments to simultaneously ratify the ACTA treaty.

...fuck.

the rocket is a cover up. It was obviously a gate to some sort of star spawn creature but a group of plucky heroes closed it before the general populous became aware of what was going on.

I don't care what anyone says; a missile would never, could never and will never make that kind of light display.

The government is probably covering up some super secret projector program so that they can project 4chan /b/ images onto the moon in an attempt to kill the human race. (I always knew this day would come)

Military Experts are calling this a Cynosural Field.

Props for the reference.
So maybe it IS the russians then, about to DD Norway?

A publicity stunt, pure and simple. Either a rocket designed to generate this effect on purpose (the blue portion of the spiral is too perfect) or a very large projector projecting the image of the spiral onto a smokescreen. The rocket is unlikely, because beyond the initial velocity, there's nothing to keep the smoke traveling outwards. It would rapidly turn into a white disc. The fact that comments are disabled for the youtube video strongly suggests something is fishy (typically a company not wanting their viral campaign tainted by whatever random users could say in the comments).

It can't be a rocket test by itself because, happening at night, there is no way it would be illuminated. It would be done during the day not so near foreign borders, or watched with night cameras.

The video looks pretty cool to me. I don't really know what it is, but it certainly does look like what I would imagine a wormhole would look like.
Doesn't it make it more likely that it isn't an actual wormhole then? I mean why would it look the way we think it would?

It was a goddamned failed missile test.

No need to even think about the possibility of UFO's or wormholes.

After I found the pieces of my head that just exploded, this all seems alot more logical when you put it like this.

I still want to know exactly what caused it though. I agree though, missle nothing!
