Spirialing 'UFO' Over Australia Was Likely Falcon 9 Rocket

Logical explanations take all the fun out of UFO's. After the Falcon 9 rocket launched successfully, later, over on the other side of the world, people in Australia saw a spiraling object in their early morning skies, about 6 am local time. Geoffrey Wyatt, from the Sydney Observatory, said it appeared to have been the Falcon 9 rocket, which launched about an hour earlier.

If you recall, there was another spiraling rocket that

created a visual sensation over Norway

in December of 2009.
