Mysterious spiral formation appears among stars above Hawaii

A mysterious spiral formation was spotted in the night sky above Hawaii earlier this month, sparking curiosity among observers.

The spectacle, initially spotted by an observatory in Mauna Kea on Jan. 18, first looked like a traveling bright star before it morphed shapes.

It grew into a larger blob before it transformed into a dot with a spinning spiral around it, footage from the Subaru-Asahi STAR Camera shows.

The night sky whirlpool, however, is not a UFO or spaceship — but reportedly the work of billionaire Elon Musk. Another video https://files.catbox.moe/bid46v.mp4

Anyone that calls this 'mysterious' is pushing clickbait bullshit. Clearly a rocket launch seen from the posterior end

Looks just like Kerbal

I see a distinct lack of explosions.

It was Elon Musks rocket taking off.

The real illegal aliens heard the border was wide open

Crazy amount of satellites whizzing by.

The telescope was built there because visibility is dramatically better than most places. The normal night sky would look like that if it weren't for light pollution and clouds. I believe even a clear sky at lower elevations obscures some of what you can see there.

Those aren’t satellites, but random meteors and junk falling to earth. Satellites are visible, but move much slower.

The star field was moving as the earth turned. The footage was sped up quite a bit. I think most of the streaks were satellites.

There were some meteors streaking by, but I'm talking about satellites that were moving much slower and not streaking.

Look at the second link in the post. That one has timestamps and you can clearly see it was sped up. It even says partway through that it's being shown at 48x realtime.
