Mysterious Blue Spiral Appears In The Sky Over Hawaii Baffling Onlookers
Astronomers were left baffled when a mysterious blue swirling shape briefly appeared in the night sky over Hawaii last week.
The unusual shape was spotted by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan’s Subaru Telescope on 18 January above Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
Sharing their discovery to their official YouTube channel, the team wrote: “At first it was just a small dot at the left centre of the view. “Then it ejected an arc-like feature. It became slightly larger… “A bright dot appeared in the blob then it grew into a spiral.”

So what was this bizarre phenomenon in the sky? As expected, there were a lot of, shall we say, inventive guesses.
“It’s a rip in the space time continuum. Duh,” commented one viewer. Another wrote: “It’s obviously the Enterprise from Star Trek: First Contact.”
It turns out, the actual cause of this mysterious blue swirl in the sky is the same cause a lot of other unusual goings on these days: Elon Musk.
The Japanese space agency noted that the strange appearance in the sky seemed to be connected to SpaceX’s latest satellite launch. Space successfully launched their Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on January 18.
