A guy at the gym made me question that Norway spiral video again

I was spotting a client on incline press and this older engineer starts chatting about that 2009 Norway spiral anomaly. He said the geometry looked like a real launch failure, not CGI, because the light trail bent in that specific way that atmospheric drag would cause. That made me go back and watch it frame by frame, and now I can't unsee the wobble in the tail. Has anyone here actually traced the path against known missile telemetry or is that just a happy coincidence?

Watched that while eating cold pizza and now I can't unsee the breadstick conspiracy.
