Trigonometry solves Norway Spiral event, White Sea pinpointed.


Norway Spiral Solved With Math
Southern California Weather Authority

The Norway Spiral has stunned the world with a remarkable appearance last week. The spiral has been called the coming of the new age, aliens visiting from outer space, stargates, and event wormholes to other sections of the universe.

Nicolas Gumina, lead spokesperson to the Southern California Weather Authority, states that it has been solved with math evidence.

Using trigonometry, one can find the angles of objects, distances to them, and even how tall they are, as long as you find different sides. This is used in weather at times to tell how tall a thunderstorm top is. This is why this story fits directly into the weather.

The Norway Spiral event has been claimed by the Russian Military. The rocket was claimed to launch from the White Sea, heading northward. Armed with this data, a conclusion using the Google Earth software demonstrated the direction the photograph was taken from was the White Sea, and the trajectory was a ballistic missile track to the north.

So while it may look like something meteorological, or astronomical, the spiral was solved by using simple mathematics.  The rocket, in this method, is calculated to be about 97 to 106 miles high when the photo was taken, which is the exact altitude range for missiles in their third stages.

    That doesn't explain the blue spiral pointing to the ground.
    What caused that. Why were there no debris found? Why no noise?
    Answer those questions and debunk that.

    In mid sunlit skies, exhaust is blue. Watch videos on Vandenberg launches, most notable being NASA's WISE Delta II launch on December 14, 2009. The rocket did not reach full sunlight and the exhaust left a bluish hue.

    Math does not lie.

    Honestly, tell Russia to fire another one then and let's get the same thing to happen. If at the very least this is a phenomena and needs to be studied.

    Curious George, you cannot hear noise from over 500 miles away.

    I agree on the math, so please use math to explain:
    1. the perfect geometrical spiral on an out of control spinning rocket
    2. why does teh spiral have two "arms",
    3. why their seems to be no gravitational or wind imapct on the formation of this perfect spiral (be it exhaust or jet fuel )
    4. the spiraling blue light streaming back to surface in one of the photos.

    I would enjoy hearing a factual/mathematical based description on how the rocket produced this phenomena.

    you sound like a shill dude (author of the article)-

    What I thinks is that it's an NWO test to see how believable the spiral was - what design can they manifest they have some bloggers and stuff trying to create this project blue beam anti-christ hologram, just don't fall for the fantasy folks...

    how did you come up with the figure of "500mi?"

  • LA Weather Examiner 2 years ago

    Jon, the missile track was moving north of the White Sea. By using the planned track, I was able to do a ground trace of 500 miles away.

    what is a ground trace?
    did you estimate this figure?

  • LA Weather Examiner 2 years ago
    Report Abuse

    Jon, ground trace is a trace on the ground as an object in the air moves directly above it.
    I looked at the exact track these fly. I put the missile along the trace north of the White Sea. I then went back to the starting point in the Norwegian town, saw the angle was directly to the spiral, used simple trigonometry, and it came out as 97 miles high, seen from 500 miles away.

  • jon 2 years ago

    The spiral would be 97mi high if, and only if, the rocket was 500mi away along it's ground trace. I do not see any reason to assume this distance of 500 mi. It could be anywhere from "directly over the mountain" in the photo to "directly over the white sea". This would correspond do ~11mi to ~600km, respectively. Therefore the height (from the ground) of the spiral could be anywhere from ~2 to ~186 mi.
    no? please check my math.

    Imagine the trigonometric solution, if the moon is located at the same place!
    :-D
    And solve by maths the extent of the event, if it is located 100 miles above and covers 25 °!
    Why was used a still image for the "solution by math"?
    Why does a meteorologist explain a totally military incident?
    There are several natural laws harmed in this trigonometrical solution!

    OK Weather Examiner, i've just crunched the numbers, and this is why you are wrong:

    according to your ASSUMPTION that the spiral is 96mi off the ground, this means that one wavelength of the spiral's "ripples" (we'll call it L) is 1.04 Degrees. So, converting to miles, L=9.1 miles.

    Now, you can watch any video of the spiral and see that it rotates about once per sec, so it's frequency (f) =1/sec.
    It is known that the (wavelength)*(frequency) of a wave equals a wave's velocity (v).

    => L*f=(9.1mi)(1/sec)=9.1 MILES PER SECOND. this is about 48,000 FEET/SEC. THIS IS INSANELY FAST FOR SMOKE (let alone anything we know of) TO BE MOVING WHILE MAINTAINING IT'S FORM.

    Now, here's the really weird part: even if the spiral was right over the mountain (so about 9.7mi from the ground), the velocity of it's "ripples" would be around 1,000 FEET/SEC.
    that's about mach 1.5....still too fast for smoke, no?

    check my maths.

  • jon 2 years ago
    Report Abuse

    sigh, i miscalculated L, it will actually depend on how far away the spiral is actually.
    so say it is directly over the mountain, at 9.63km away, then L=.242km and the ripple velocity would be, v=241m/s

    if the spiral is directly over the white sea, at 671km away, then L=24.38km and the ripple velocity would be, v=24,400m/s

    so once again, check my maths.

    these numbers are still far too large for the ripples to be made of smoke or exhaust...
    new theories?

    Sorry, I am not a math expert, but should not be included the parabolic trajectory?
    If a missile is launched from the White Sea up to 100 miles, it cannot reach this height vertical above its launch site! This is against the basic physical laws! Isn't it?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trajectory
    Solved by trigonometry: If a missile appears 100 miles above the White Sea, it must be launched at another place or vice versa.

    For crying out loud, it was a Russian Bullava missile test. The missile's guidance system failed causing it to spin rapidly. The spiral was due to the exhaust plume rotating in the vacuum of space. Why no noise? It was above the atmosphere.

    Anyone who's seen ballistic missile launches during twilight hours will recognize what this was. Many of the comments posted here are an indictment of the public education system. Mr Martin is a patient man for trying to educate these conspiracy theorists.

    Jon, watch the video, thanks. I demonstrated how trigonometry is used to find the angles of objects, distance, and even how high. 500 miles away, 97 miles up = and 11 degree incline to the object that is 97 miles up from the observer's point of view.
    Do not forget the vapor is moving fast because of the upper atmosphere's lack of gravity. There is very little drag to slow the exhaust out.

  • cinnamonape 2 years ago

    I don't think it would be the exhaust vapor moving, but rather the way the light from the sun is passing through it. This surely must relate to the rate the sunlight is emerging over the horizon and how it is striking the vortex giving the illusion that the spiral is rotating.

    Ing, it will just keep getting deleted, do not bother.

    cinnamonape, Very smart thinking there! You've nailed that. The light passing through is the key, not the smoke itself. This is ice, and it reflects just like any ice particle, sometimes for miles.

    Ingeld, I do not post comments accusing another. Accusing for "errors" is your opinion, not a fact, in your own mind. That is the final answer. I can do this all day.

    I only post questions, not accusing comments.

    "ground trace is a trace on the ground as an object in the air moves directly above it. I looked at the exact track these fly." Burden of proof, where did you get your information pertaining to "the exact track these fly"? I think your response to jon left something to be desired. Thanks!

  • LA Weather Examiner 2 years ago

    Ground trace is the point directly below an object moving overhead.
    The White Sea missile launches go north, and the trace goes over a landmass in Russian territory that is north of the sea.

    Of the many explanations I have read yours is the most plausible and the one with the most facts to support it. In addition to the facts you have pointed out I would suggest another; light hitting tiny particles in the atmosphere tend to bend red light more than blue (defraction.) It is for this reason the sky looks blue during the day. With the sun so low to the horizon red light is being defracted toward the earth (sunset effect) and blue light would be defracted toward the upper atmosphere. This would also impart a blue hue to the vapor trails left by the rocket.

    Good work. I think that this was a rocket launch along with some very interesting atmospheric effects. I suspect that the Russians launched towards where EISCAT simultaneously activated the ionosphere in order to test out missile defense capabilities. On Dec. 29th Putin made comments with regards to missile defense systems interestingly enough. wired(dot)com/dangerroom/2009/12/putin-well-overwhelm-us-missile-shield-but-thanks-for-the-concessions-barack

    It's funny how you guys delete posts that deal with the truth or the debunking of your pathetic theory that doesn't prove anything... You guys have no integrity or backbone. It's sad that most people like you serve the interests of corruption & dis-information to confuse & brainwash the general public.

    Living in a world full of good people with the virtues of honesty/integrity/fairness/peace is much better than living in a world of bad people with the virtues of lying/deceit/thievery/war... When all the good people are gone you guys will truly have your own Hell on Earth to be proud of!!!

    your only pointing out info that russians already thought out before they spoke up...no debris? no seperation? i seen movies man, even scifis and never seen something this amazing. btw when a missle explodes the hot air catches to the dense cold space real quick....it could not scatter light for that long. fail.

    I'm in the navy and work with ordnance and I have never seen ANY missile of any type look like that and do what it did. Rockets don't have guidance systems and don't go that far. Missiles don't have 3 exhausts in 2 colors. It was not a missile.
