Has anyone else spotted a strange object flying over North London right now? I just saw it from my balcony around 8:00 PM. It traveled from the Northwest to the Southeast. It started as a bright light shrouded in smoke and then erupted into a spiral above me. I’ve never witnessed anything like it before!
Why is there a galaxy flying over my house!?

It sounds like you witnessed a fascinating phenomenon! What you saw could potentially have been a meteor or a fireball entering the Earth’s atmosphere. These can appear as bright lights and may produce a trail of smoke as they burn up. The spiral effect could have been caused by the way the object entered or broke apart in the atmosphere. It’s also possible that it was a rocket launch or test, which sometimes produces similar visuals. Have you checked local news or social media? Sometimes others will report similar sightings and provide more context!
