Blue and white spirals from the Space X Falcon 9 rocket have been spotted in the skies across the UK.
Experts have claimed the spirals, seen on Monday night (24 March), were from Elon Musk’s Falcon 9 rocket launch in Florida.
This footage was captured by Richard Whelan in Hull at around 8pm on Monday (24 March).
Mr Whelan said: “I thought at first it was the moon casting shapes on the cloud, but when I zoomed in it was a moving bright light with a cloud circling around it.”
The Met Office has explained the spectacular sight.
A spokesman said: “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.”
