An unusual, spiralling plume of gas and light was seen across the night sky in New Zealand. It was first seen in Nelson, a city at the tip of New Zealand’s southern island, from where it travelled about 750 km all the way south to Stewart Island by 7.30 pm (local time) on Sunday. It was then the sight was most prominent.

These were photographed by a friend in #Asheville last night. The spiral at the end was taken last night in New Zealand and sent to a friend of mine (next tweet.) Then what @VennieKocsis saw the night before last. So much activity right now! #ufotwitter pic.twitter.com/zJaibiDwVN
