“UFO spiral” over Russia was a satellite launch

From DATELINE ZERO - Video a very strange light in the Russian skies was immediately compared to the Norway Spiral from December 2009.

The light looks impressive, and appears similar to the spiral. However what was seen over Russia was indeed caused by the launch of a new GPS satellite.

GLONASS-K1 was scheduled to be launched on February 24, but was delayed “for technical reasons.” It was hoped that a February 25 launch would work out; but it was again delayed.

Quoting the commander of the Russian Space Forces, Lieutenant-General Oleg Ostapenko, an Interfax news item stated that there was insufficient time to ready the rocket for launch February 25, though it was announced as a launch date following the scrub on February 25. “The probability of a launch on the 26th is very high,” Ostapenko said.

The February 26 launch did take place. It was caught on camera, posted to YouTube, and is being called “a UFO spiral of 2011.” Continue reading, from the original article at DATELINE ZERO. [Includes videos for comparison.]
