Remarks |
On March 24, 2025, at approximately 21:02 CET, I observed an unusual object in the night sky while standing outside in Wróblewskie, Gorzów Wielkopolski, Poland.
I took quick photos of the object with my phone (not long-exposure shots), it appeared as a bright spiral with a glowing center, surrounded by a faint, circular pattern. The spiral was clearly visible to the naked eye and in the photos, indicating that this was a real structure in the sky, not a camera artifact. The object was illuminated, likely reflecting sunlight, as it was well after sunset (around 18:07 CET) at my location. The sky was mostly clear, though there may have been some light cloud cover.
The object’s slow movement and spiral shape made me think it might be related to a rocket or spacecraft, possibly a fuel dump or deorbiting maneuver. I learned that SpaceX had Falcon 9 launches on March 20 (NROL-57 mission) and March 21 (NROL-69 mission), and I suspect this could be a second stage from one of those launches releasing propellant, creating the spiral pattern. However, I’m not an expert, so I’m reporting this for verification.
With respect
