A strange glowing orb was seen spiraling across the sky in various parts of the UK, including Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, Lancashire, Staffordshire, and others. The event occurred on Monday night (March 24) with multiple reports flooding social media platforms such as X and Facebook.
Eyewitnesses described the object as a bright circular light that appeared to be spinning, with some even claiming to have seen “small stars moving around it.” The orb was reportedly visible for approximately two minutes before fading away. Witnesses in different locations shared similar descriptions of the event, which has sparked widespread curiosity and speculation online.
According to experts, the most plausible explanation for the sighting is linked to the recent launch of a SpaceX US spy satellite. On Monday, a Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, coinciding with the reported orb sighting. The anomaly was similar to one observed in 2023, caused by excess fuel being released from a SpaceX rocket and freezing in sunlight.
