Thousands of people have reported seeing mysterious spirals in the skies above the Pacific Ocean over the last few days.
People across the south Pacific islands, including New Caledonia, Tokelau, Samoa and Fiji, all reported seeing the same spiral phenomenon in the skies on Friday, June 18.
The mysterious spiral phenomenon baffled onlookers, who recorded video and photographs of it and took to social media to share what they saw.
People across the south Pacific islands, including New Caledonia, Tokelau, Samoa and Fiji, all reported spotting the same spiral phenomenon in the skies on Friday night, June 18.
The spectacular spiral formation baffled viewers, who recorded video and photographs of it and took to social media to share what they saw.
What’s behind this spiral in the skies over the Pacific Ocean?
According to New Caledonia’s Astronomy Association, the culprit was a Chinese rocket that took off from Xichang launch centre on Friday.
“Jonathan McDowell, an American astronomer who lists all manoeuvres and orbital launches on the planet, has confirmed it was the second floor of a Chinese Long March 2 C rocket, which took off June 18 at 06 h25 UTC from Xichang launch center, with 4 satellites on board,” Association Calédonienne d’Astronomie posted on Facebook.
“Amaury Bellee, who contacted him, explains: ‘After completing its mission, the floor would have expelled his fuel (from UDMH and nitrogen peroxide) to passivate, i.e. avoiding it exploding into orbit due to the residual pressure in the tanks. This is the phenomenon you’ve been observing.’”
The association explains that the strange spiral phenomenon had already been observed back on May 7.
In both cases, less than half an hour before, a rocket Long March 2 C was launched from the same location with the same parameters. So it was also a degassing as explained above.
I this strange sky phenomenon will likely be seen again… Amazing! [NZ Herald]
