Based on what you said above, to loosen the nut would have rotated counter-clockwise which is exactly what it did. No more loop.
If it had tightened it would have rotated clockwise.

You are very lucky that there was safety wire on your wheels!
OK.. I've had a few more shots of Teguillllla and I'm ready to contemplate. The pic I posted is of the passenger side wheel. The right of the pic is toward the front. The safety wire has slacked meaning the spinner tightened even more toward the front on right hand threads. My head hurts. Seriously, not trying to buck the system but I believe more of what I see.
