Delta Junction (Alaska). Toad Salat roams in the areas of the North Pole. His job is to take pictures of the Northern Lights. One day while roaming around in the frozen region of America i.e. Alaska, he saw the night sky changing. The dark sky slowly started turning bright green. The whole night turned green. It was Aurora.
Even that was fine. To their surprise, they suddenly saw a strange light over the city of Delta Junction. Spinning like a wheel. This blue spiral of light came rapidly from the north over a sky of every color. While coming closer, it kept getting bigger. After this, going towards the south, it disappeared in a blur.
Todd Salat made a 1.28 minute timelapse video of the incident. In which this figure is seen coming and going. Salat told that he had never seen such a beautiful thing before. He uploaded this video on Vimeo.

p style=”text-align:justify”>The reason behind this curved light is that just a few hours before its appearance, SpaceX launched its Falcon-9 rocket. The launch took place from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. This rocket was carrying dozens of satellites. It was named the Transporter-7 mission. A few minutes after launch, the first stage of the rocket was back on Earth. But Falcon-9’s upper stage was floating above the atmosphere.
When the upper stage released the fuel above the upper atmosphere, they collided with the atmosphere and turned into small icy particles. When the light fell on them, they started shining. Sometimes their shape changes. But usually they look like rotating lights like this. They are formed even during the day but are not visible in the sunlight.
Sometimes these lights look like jellyfish. This incident has been happening for many years. These cycles are formed directly after the rocket launch. Usually when the upper stage of a rocket releases its fuel above the upper atmosphere. These upper stages return to the earth after many years, in such a situation, if the fuel is not released, then there is a danger of a big explosion or damage while returning.
