Italian
Bright spectacle in the skies of northern Italy last night, which has sparked wonder but also many questions
The bright spiral that many people noticed in the skies of northern Italy yesterday evening, Monday 24th of March, reminded of science fiction shows, maybe those of the famous TV series X-Files.
All Elon Musk’s fault
So far there has been no official explanation but apparently, reading the posts of the “well-informed”, it would be a trail generated by the release of fuel expelled from the second stage of a rocket from the SpaceX mission. Elon Musk’s, to be clear.
During its passage over Italy, the fuel created a luminous trail, giving life to an extraordinary visual effect. The fuel, expelled by the rockets into space, can freeze and reflect sunlight, forming spectacular figures in the night sky.
In particular, the luminous phenomenon would have been produced by the second stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched at 6:48 p.m. from Cape Canaveral in Florida to put a military satellite into orbit
Another demonstration of how technology and nature can interact to create fascinating and mysterious visions.
