Many people took pictures of the strange occurrence, leaving people seriously scratching their heads over what was causing it.

The extraordinary pattern was spotted in Alaska in the US.

Among those in awe at the pattern was avid aurora-watcher Elizabeth Withnall, who shared pictures of the strange pattern to Facebook.

Withnall captioned the series of photos writing: “Ok I was out aurora watching and saw the craziest thing in the sky. I always see strange things in the sky here but this was insane.”

Photos from that fateful evening subsequently made their way across other social media platforms including X where many theorized about the origins of the strange spiral.

Of course, some people claimed it was evidence for ‘extra-terrestrial life’.

Others maintained it was a bizarre sighting of the ‘northern lights’.

It seems though, however, that both schools of thought were wrong.In reality the spiral, as many on social media pointed out, was nothing more than a rocket exhaust.
