Science deciphers the phenomenon of glowing UFOs, plunging into the sky in Alaska

Around 5 a.m. on March 29 local time, many witnesses observed a blue glowing ball that was spinning and slowly flying across the sky of Alaska (USA). 

The image of this strange object was also captured by an automated camera of a couple in the city of Fairbanks.

Although the light from the sphere has been changed through the lens, an object much larger than the full moon can be clearly seen, moving and rotating slowly from the northeast to the east. southwest.

The camera took a total of 6 pictures of the sphere, which suggests that it may have been in the sky for at least 4 and a half minutes.

Immediately, those who believed in the existence of aliens believed that this was a real UFO (unidentified flying object). However, scientists think this is likely just an optical phenomenon, appearing as a consequence after the rocket is launched into orbit.

A strange orb appeared in the sky, causing a wave of support for the existence of aliens.

Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Massachusetts, said the sphere corresponds to the flight path of a Chinese rocket that is putting two satellites into orbit, which was launched from Taiwan on Friday. /3.

McDowell reasoned that the rocket likely released leftover fuel into space, where the excess froze and spread into a large sphere, which was then illuminated by sunlight. "This cloud can stretch for hundreds of miles; that's why it looks so big," he adds. 

Other scientists also agree with McDowell's explanation. Mark Conde, a physicist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, thinks this is an image of a gas cloud glowing in the sun.

"The spheres appear to be spinning because as the rockets inject fuel, they enter a controlled turbulence to maintain the rocket's trajectory," McDowell explained. "Imagine it like a garden hose."

This is not the first time this has happened. In October 2017, an even larger blue sphere was seen in the sky above Siberia. The strange phenomenon was later proven to be just frozen fuel, left over by Russia's military missile tests in the area.
