Huge spiral was visible in the sky above AlaskaUnited States, which caused great fear among several residents of this state.
The spiral appeared on the northern skyline of the city of Delta Junction and grew larger as it quickly moved across the sky.
unique phenomenon
The best shots of this event were taken by local photographer Todd Salat, who is an expert on the Northern Lights.
According to his statements to DNAthe spiral suddenly appeared in the sky and “rapidly approached”.
“It was a beautiful piece of art in the sky,” he said. “I’d say it was probably the strangest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
He took a time lapse of the event with his cameras.
Why did this phenomenon happen?
Despite the mysteries that may be associated with this event, there is a simple answer to its origin.
Don Hampton, an associate professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, said the spiral “appears to be rocket engine exhaust from the SpaceX Transporter-7 mission, which launched on a Falcon 9 about three hours earlier in California.”
“Water vapor in the second stage engine exhaust freezes and traps sunlight at high altitudes, effectively shining and creating a spiral galaxy,” Hampton said.
As the rocket gained altitude, it “flew over Alaskasurprising many night watchers,” he said.
