A large “flying whirlpool” was seen on the night of Wednesday January 18, 2023 from the island of Hawaii in the United States. This is an amazing and fascinating phenomenon that would be associated with a satellite launch.
Heaven is full of treasures. Especially at night when the light pollution is not too high. On the night of Wednesday, January 18, a “mysterious” flying spiral was observed in the skies of the island of Hawaii in the United States by the Subaru telescope. The first images taken showed a small bright spot moving across the starry sky at around 4:20 a.m.
On January 18, 2023 (HST), the Subaru-Asahi Star Camera captured a mysterious flying spiral over Maunakea, Hawaii. The spiral appears to be related to the launch of a new satellite by the SpaceX company.

As we progressed, the small task gradually turned into a hurricane. This phenomenon was photographed, filmed and posted on the telescope’s YouTube page. If the images are impressive and almost unreal, the explanation of this flying spiral is very concrete.
According to scientists working for the telescope, this is most likely related to the launch of a SpaceX satellite, which would have happened earlier in the day. In fact, the same day the space company owned by Elon Musk launched a mission from the east coast of Florida, not far from the island of Hawaii.
Similar vortices have been spotted several times after SpaceX’s launch in other locations around the world, such as New Zealand, according to Space.com. According to some observers, this particular shape would be a consequence of the evacuation of unnecessary fuel.
