As a fully qualified to post grad level photographer and practicing all forms of photography professionally ..with respects, this sentence is 100% wrong.
1. The video camera/s used to take the video do not work on the principle of long exposure times. They capture the motion.
2. Any still frame film or digital cameras would have been able to catch any second of the full event with no more than 1/100th if using a low ISO setting and as fast as 1/1000th if using a high ISO and fast lens. ie F2.8
To those that stated that night shooting = longer shutter times....you are wrong. The speed of todays lenses running a maximum apperture of f2.8 with the ISO settings on board up to date cameras means that the shutter does not need to remain open. Canons cheapest lens the 50mm prime is an F 1.8 lense and would catch the immage in as little as 1/500th of a second.
I now call the shutter speed argument 100% debunked.
Respects

Before you continue arguing, PLEASE watch this video! It's only 50 seconds long, you can handle it ATS.

Fine.
If your opinion is that this is not what a failed rocket looks like, why post MORE pictures of what a failed rocket DOESN'T look like?
Here is another picture of what a failed rocket DOES NOT look like.
I cannot say that I know what every failed rocket looks like. I can only say that I know what THAT failed rocket looked like, because I saw the pictures.

I could post 10000 pictures of failed rockets and you would still not change your mind, and I would be wasting my time.
Dont feel like it, and I dont care that much if you continue to believe its a rocket.

You mean the blue trail? It's probably from the missile's exhaust.
DGFenrir, are you intentionally posting misleading information?
You know that the post I responded to was not claiming it was a rocket/missile right?

It didn't take place in Norway. It took place in Russia's airspace. Stop posting misleading nonsence.

Who says NORAD hasn't picked it up?
Why would they need to confirm what Russia has already admitted to?

So it can confirm it was a test, but as we can see now, it wasnt.
