Mystery Glowing Orb Dazzles Collier Row Skies
A strange glowing orb floated across the evening sky over Collier Row, sparking a wave of curiosity—and a flood of online theories. The bizarre light wasn’t just a local wonder; similar sightings popped up across the UK.
Spiral Light Caught on Camera
The eerie footage was snapped from a garden on Mount Pleasant Road just after 8pm on Sunday, March 24. It shows a bright, swirling orb wrapped around a wavy shape that looks like the letter ‘S’. The spinning light shone way brighter than any star around it, baffling locals and stargazers alike.
One social media user posted: “Just saw this weird glowing spiral in the sky — anyone know what that was?!”
Experts Explain: SpaceX Satellite Launch
Space experts quickly put the UFO rumours to bed. They say the spectacle was caused by a recent SpaceX rocket launch from the US.
- The glowing orb and its spiral motion come from the rocket dumping excess fuel.
- That fuel freezes high in the atmosphere, creating the glowing spiral visible from the ground.
- The ‘S’-shaped spiral is formed by the rocket’s motion as sunlight reflects off the frozen fuel particles.
Astronomers say it’s a stunning slice of science, not an alien visit. But it sure gave the night sky a spectacular twist!
