Norway Spiral : Case reopened - the anatomy of an event

In an earlier thread that I made shortly after the December 9, 2009 Norway Spiral event, I attempted to make a case to show that the failed Bulava missile explanation was inadequate to explain the observed effects and that there had to be an alternative explanation.
That thread (and explanation) was primarily based on a photo of a very intricate and well defined spiral that was stated as having been taken around the Tromso area.
Based on the detail obtained from that photo, it appeared that the failed missile scenario simply did not fit and that all indications were that the spiral itself apparently was very much closer than the White Sea location where it was stated the Bulava had been launched. In fact, indications were that the spiral was in fact quite close to Tromso itself and located directly over Norwegian territory. This naturally led to the "finger of guilt" being pointed at the EISCAT ionospheric research station located not far from Tromso itself, as being (in)directly responsible for the spiral creation event.

However, even though the EISCAT facility made a very convenient scape goat on which to pin the event, it proved very difficult to come up with sufficient hard technological evidence that would implicate EISCAT beyond any doubt as the originators of the spiral event.
Even so, I was still prepared to accept an EISCAT solution in preference to a failed missile test, despite the lack of corroborating and indisputable evidence ... that is, until other researchers dropped the bombshell that the photo that was originally attributed to having been taken at Tromso (and used to create my original analysis), had in actuality been taken approximately 88 kms north-east of Tromso at a location called Skjervoy. As a result of this disclosure, I had to accept the realization that my earlier research, and therefore conclusions, were consequently flawed.


So I decided to go back to the drawing board, so to speak, and attempt a fresh analysis. This time I decided that it was imperative to find other photos of the spiral event and using these, to try to estimate as closely as possible the most probable location for the spiral and if possible, calculate accurate dimensions, distances and altitudes.


It took a while but I was eventually able to find 6 locations in Norway and 1 location in Sweden that had produced photos of the spiral event ... and most importantly, photos that contained definitive details allowing the eventual "triangulation" of various stages of the spiral event.
Now I use the phrase "various stages" as it become quite obvious that in contradiction to reported eye witness accounts that the spiral appeared to become stationary in the sky, this was in reality not the case, as I will demonstrate later.


The following are the locations (and associated photos) that I used in my re-analysis of the spiral event:

Norway
- Skjervoy
- Tromso
- Harstad
- Storsteinnes
- Anstad
- Markenes

Sweden
- Puoltsa

Skjervoy images
The following 5 images have become extremely associated in the publics mind with regard to the Norway Spiral event of 9 December, 2009.

These images are shown in time sequence order to illustrate the various "phases" of the event and most importantly to illustrate the fact that at no time was the spiral event a "stationary" one as often reported but in actuality an event that evolved over time.

To illustrate the "non-stationary" aspect of the event, I have combined Images1, 2 and 3, scaling as appropriate based on the background Kvanangstinder mountains.
This superposition immediately demonstrates that the spiral followed a definitive trajectory as well as dramatically increasing in size over time.

Tromso images
Rather than providing a photo of the event, the Tromso contribution was actually a short video recording.
Initially it appeared that there was insufficient detail to allow the derivation of the spiral direction but thankfully the initial frames of the video contained an essential clue that allowed this sighting to be used.

In the following frame captured from the video, we see the town of Tromso and the spiral in the background. Unfortunately the mountains are to dark to be of any use in attempting to determine the location of the observer. However, there is visible in the frame a very famous building known as the Arctic Cathedral.

Using this as a reference point, then allowed an accurate estimation of the observers location which could be used later in the analysis.

Harstad images
The only image from Harstad is of the final dissipation stage of the spiral.

The following is a Google Earth view of the background Harstad mountains as they would have appeared in the early morning of 9 Dec, 2009.

The following is an overlay of Image9 and 10, scaled to the background mountains to show that the observer location has been identified in GE.

Storsteinnes images
The only image from Storsteinnes is of the midpoint stage of the spiral.
