You can see the contrail from the launch. Most of the oddness of the spiral though is the camera playing tricks which makes it look fake. I guess maybe the Russians self destructed the missile at the end where you get that black hole effect:

That is seen when it finally ended. Perhaps due to the high altitude it looks like that.
