A strange phenomenon has been documented in the skies of several European countries. What is it and what causes it?

Arab Weather - Yesterday, a strange object appeared in the skies of several European and Arab countries. This object appeared as a spiral light or a luminous vortex in the sky, clearly visible to the naked eye and documented by several people.

In fact, this light is produced by the freezing of burned rocket fuel. These particles freeze in the upper layers of the atmosphere, forming ice crystals that reflect sunlight, resulting in the appearance of spiral or swirling light patterns in the sky.

On February 1, 2025, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, carrying 22 satellites as part of the Starlink 11-4 mission. After completing its mission, the rocket's second stage typically burns up in the atmosphere, but it can sometimes fall uncontrollably.

On February 20, 2025, strange light phenomena were observed in the skies over Germany, and debris believed to be from the second stage of the rocket was found in Poland.

It's worth noting that this phenomenon is considered normal and recurring, and has been observed in several European and Arab countries as a result of similar missile launches.
