Strange phenomenon in Norwegian sky
Right, cuz a failed rocket will stay in one spot spinning in a nice neat spiral...

If it's direction of travel is away from the viewer while it is spiraling, then yes it would appear that way to the observer.

Have you ever seen the contrails of rockets that have spiraled out? They're anything but nice and straight.
