Incident at Astrakhan
9/26/2017
The Russian Defense Ministry said its missile forces successfully launched a Topol RS-12M, called SS-27 "Sickle B" by NATO, from the Kapustin Yar range in the southern Astrakhan region. The missile reportedly flew about 1,200 miles before striking a target at the Sary Shagan testing site in Kazakhstan
After Tuesday's launch, however, it was local Russians who appeared to be most shaken. Some residents in southern Russia took to social media to post pictures of the curious, spiral-like trail left behind by the missile.
Astrakhan Site
Znamensk (formerly Kapustin Yar-1)
The first ballistic missile tested in the Soviet Union — the famous captured German V-2 — was launched from the Kapustin Yar launch site. Not long thereafter, this desert witnessed satellite launches, atomic bomb explosions, and a host of planes and helicopters bombarding its sandy plains with rockets and bombs.
Last week, the Russian Strategic Missile Force tested its modern Yars intercontinental ballistic missile. A solid propellant missile carrying a multiple warhead payload, Yars is a modern variant of the Topol-M missile series, designed to replace the dated liquid-propellant UR-100N missiles, which are better known under their NATO designation SS-19 Stiletto.

Incident of Tromsø
December 11, 2009
The people of Tromso in Norway's northern reaches awoke to the sight of a giant blue and white spiral of light hanging in the still dark sky above them, they were understandably shocked.
"It looked like a rocket that spun around and around and then went diagonally across the heavens," said Totto Eriksen, who saw the display while driving his daughter to school. And when an explanation finally came, he wasn't far wrong. It turned out to be a failed Russian nuclear-capable missile test launch.
The Bulava missile was fired from the submarine Dmitry Danskoi, the Russian defence ministry confirmed. The White Sea, close to Norway's Arctic region, is Russia's standard missile-testing site.

Moscow said its practice warhead successfully hit a designated target at the Sary-Shagan firing range in Kazakhstan, an ex-Soviet neighbour with which it shares close economic and military ties.
The RS-12M Topol or (SS-25 Sickle) is a single-warhead ICBM, which entered service in 1988, according toMilitary Today.

Vladimir Putin successfully launches nuclear test missile that can reach America in 12 minutes
The missile flew from Yasny Launch Base to the peninsula of Kamchatka, a distance spanning thousands of miles

American astronaut Mike Hopkins tweeted that he saw something weird in the sky and posted a somewhat shaky image of it.* A few hours later Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano posted a sharper shot, the one shown above.

No, that was not a black hole.
It was dead space.
A rocket got out of control, perhaps losing a stabilizer, and started to spiral. The two spirals, different in shape, size, and color, indicate something happened in the middle of all this (the rocket second stage fired while still spinning, or something else started leaking out), changing the rocket's direction. Then, when the fuel or whatever ran out, the white spiral began to disappear from the inside out as the material expanded in space.

OTOH
This spiral did have black holes
10:30:43 UTC on that day, the gravitational waves from a merging pair of black holes 1.8 billion light years away passed through you, oscillating your height a few times.
"...the strongest and sharpest gravitational waves are created when two black holes merge, because they’re massive and accelerate hugely right before they merge. That’s what LIGO was designed to detect… and it did, in September 2016. Since that time it’s found two more mergers..."

U.S., Russia Trade Charges Over Open Skies Treaty Compliance
September 27, 2017
"We have long had concerns about Russia’s implementation of the Open Skies Treaty,” a U.S. State Department official said in a statement provided to AIN on September 27. “After repeated, unsuccessful attempts to engage Moscow diplomatically, we have elected to take some reasonable and comparable steps in response to Russia’s non-compliance.”
Russia has used aircraft including the Tupolev Tu-154M-ON trijet, one of which overflew sites including the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., the Pentagon, Joint Base Andrews and President Donald Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey golf club in April with U.S. personnel aboard, according to media reports. Plans call for the Russian Air Force to replace the Tu-154 with the twin-engine Tu-214ON for the mission.
