Something big coming by. But it wouldn't spiral. Either hit or assume a new orbit.

Let's see, if gravity was somehow increased, severely increased, the moon could spiral into the earth

A miracle, as the moon is actually spiraling further out.

it quite is a mix of gravity (pulling it in the direction of Earth) and the Moon's "lateral" velocity that's merely precise to maintain the Moon at (type of) the comparable distance from Earth because it tries to "fall" in the direction of it.

Only a collision or near miss of a hugely massive object, depending on the distance. Either way, we would see it coming from probalbe years in advance.

Well, if I turned on my super-secret tractor beam and aimed it at the moon each night, that should do it nicely.
Just kidding.
