Residents in various regions across China were stunned as they witnessed a peculiar spectacle in the night sky.

Video filmed on September 13 shows two beams of light illuminating the high-altitude heavens,

These luminous beams, akin to searchlights, emanated from ascending objects that gradually became increasingly indistinct before ultimately fading into obscurity.

Come the morning of September 14th, experts from a domestic astronomical observatory observed the videos with great interest. They promptly shared this intriguing phenomenon with their peers, who unanimously concluded that what had been witnessed was, in fact, a rocket cloud formation generated after the launch of a certain spacecraft – a remarkable man-made spectacle.

"In the video, you can clearly see it spinning at high speed," one expert remarked. When a spacecraft is launched from the ground, its tail produces high temperatures, coupled with strong airflow, resulting in this peculiar phenomenon reminiscent of searchlights. This mesmerizing sight can be observed both during the day and at night.

The three video clips were captured sequentially in the locations of Zhengzhou City in Henan Province, Ordos in Inner Mongolia and Langfang City in Hebei Province.

The video was provided by local media with permission.
