So is this really plagiarism? Plagiarism.org states that the following are considered plagiarism (partial list):
1) “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own”
2) “to use (another's production) without crediting the source”
3) “to commit literary theft”
4) “to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source”
5) “copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not”
Looking at both of these works, any similarity in one item by itself may not seem significant, but as a whole many items amass a much more compelling argument that one work clearly follows the same path of the other:
1) Both start with the realization that the pictures by Jan-Petter Jørgensen were from Skjervoy and not Tromsø (I know, so what, big deal).
2) Both then proceed with the identical 5 pictures by Jan-Petter Jørgensen noting the growth and movement (again big deal).
3) Both proceed with the superposition of only the first three of these series of photos. Now this is interesting why would you chose only 3? – I used 3 because at the time I only had those 3 images and was not even aware of the other two, otherwise I would have logically used all 5 of them, this makes much more since.
So your Image 6 is essentially identical to my Photo #6 right down to annotated red dots and spiral radii and with the same intent of showing movement of the spiral.
4) Both proceed in locating suitable images to overlay in Google terrain and vector the lay lines westerly; we use the exact same 4 locations and images, and you add an addition two.
5) Both then use the identical peak at the Kvanangstinder saw back mountains (out of numerous peaks) to scale the angles to the line-of-site distances to each of the center points of the spirals. Both come up with almost identical angles (2.97° vs. 2.96°) ...

this was my theory in the previous post in this thread even before ive seen the site you have just posted. thanks for posting the site _javascript:icon('')! info of what i was trying to explain as both could well be involved missile (or something like a missile) projectile to start this spiral to make the momentum to make (Tesla Shield) or trap to harness a missile _javascript:icon('') and the list goes on for a explanation
if you look at the link of my previous post
a very clear up close of the China Spiral and if you look at the center you will see the the center will move in directions counterclockwise and clockwise at least 4 times in less than 10 sec without moving an inch or say couple feet _javascript:icon('') if i can remember and it disapates to a dark hole like norway In my Opinion i think it was a controlled Spin what do you think _javascript:icon('')
im not sure were in china this has happened

Hi Evo,
It appears that Russia has said that the missile did go off course, then there is this analysis from a US scientist, the page also has an interesting video, (not related to the scientist). The video seems to shows a similar cone effect like I was thinking of.
