This is another quite long one so ill put the points in short

01. Open up a blank document around 500x500.
02. Set foreground color to black and background color to white if they aren't already.
03. Go to Filter -> Render -> Clouds.
04. Go to Filter -> Render -> Difference Clouds.
05. Invert the layer. [ CTRL + I ]
06. Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Levels. [ CTRL + L ]
07. Set the levels to these:

12. Change the chrome layer mode to Overlay.
13. Change the 3rd layer's mode to Lighten.
14. And change the 4th layer's mode to overlay.

Doesn't look to good, huh?

Just mess around with the Hue/Saturation in each layer until you get some thing you are happy with. Don't forgot to have Colorize checked.

15. Click on your first layer again and go to Filter -> Distort -> Twirl.
16. Set the settings to the following:

Brightness - -25
