A strange glowing blue spiral floated across the night sky in Europe Monday, sparking questions on the phenomenon that was later tied to a SpaceX rocket launch.
The spiral, appearing as an ethereal white and blue swirl slowly moving across the sky, baffled people in several countries who posted photos to social media documenting the seemingly celestial happening.
Here are a few posts from people in the UK, Croatia, Denmark and Saudi Arabia spotting the spectacle.

The mysterious sight stunned millions, prompting speculation about aliens or other phenomena; however, the UK Meteorological Office (Met Office) later explained it was likely due to a SpaceX rocket launch earlier in the day.
“We’ve received many reports of an illuminated swirl in the sky this evening,” the Met office wrote on X.
“This is likely to be caused by the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, launched earlier today. The rocket’s frozen exhaust plume appears to be spinning in the atmosphere and reflecting the sunlight, causing it to appear as a spiral in the sky.”
According to Space.com, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launched from Space Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral around 1:48PM ET for a classified NROL-69 mission.
At any rate, the luminous sky swirl is a spectacular byproduct of SpaceX’s mission.
