What was the blue ‘UFO like' spiral seen over West Midlands skies?
A PECULIAR blue spiral was spotted in the skies above the West Midlands last night - but fear not as it was not a UFO. The explanation is a lot simpler - it wasn't aliens but a fuel dump from a SpaceX rocket that launched over in the USA. Taking to X, the Met Office said: "We've received many reports of an illuminated swirl in the sky this evening. A beautiful picture of the spiral captured from Bromsgrove (Image: Stephen Johnson)"This is likely to be caused by the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, launched earlier today. "The rocket's frozen exhaust plume appears to be spinning in the atmosphere and reflecting the sunlight, causing it to appear as a spiral in the sky." Many eagle-eyed people across the Dudley borough and the wider West Midlands spotted the spectacle. Elon Musk's Space X Falcon 9 returned to Florida after having lifted off at around 1.50pm local time (5.50pm GMT) yesterday (March 24). For everyone asking about the strange spiral shape in the sky earlier - it was associaed with this launch — Brian Cox (@ProfBrianCox) March 24, 2025 After launching into space, the rocket releases what is called its payload - whatever it is carrying, such as a satellite, to complete its mission - which continues its journey into space. When it returns to Earth, it ejects any leftover fuel, which freezes instantly due to the altitude in a spiral pattern caused by the rocket's movement.

Minister Alistair Carns praises Hull course that helps veterans
A training programme that helps veterans return to civilian life has been praised by a government veterans career transition programme is run by the University of Hull and aims to support veterans in new careers after they have left the Armed Carns, Minister for Veterans and People, issued certificates to those who had completed the scheme on 10-week course was designed with help from the charity Hull 4 Heroes, and the minister said it was "fantastic". Veteran Stephen Johnson, 69, who left the Navy in 1988, said he managed to get a job soon after, but felt "a little bit lost"."I felt I was very good at what I used to do, but I wasn't specifically well placed for what I was currently doing," he said."So my confidence was a bit low."Mr Johnson said the strength, weakness and opportunity module of the training was the highlight for him."I began to see and feel my confidence growing, and I saw it happen all around the room. I saw the confidence grow in every single individual," he Johnson said he had done the course because he would like to be a trainer himself so he could "give something back". Sgt CJ Adams went on the course for her own personal development and said what she learned will help her when she leaves the forces at some point in the future."In terms of CV writing, interview skills, writing just a cover note for a job application, these things that people don't necessarily know about," she who visited the Hull 4 Heroes veteran's hub at Princes Quay in Hull, said: "The enthusiasm, determination and drive of the staff, and the support from the local MP and council has been absolutely superb. It's fantastic."Emma Hardy, MP for Hull West and Haltemprice who also attended the visit, said she was proud of the programme and hoped the course could be used elsewhere in the country."It's designed to take the skills that [veterans] already have and look at how they can be slightly adapted or changed in some way, and suitable for life in the normal workforce."Paul Matson, from Hull 4 Heroes, said there were four additional courses coming up and they hoped to provide more in the programme is funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, and is designed to help veterans and their families transition to careers in the Hull and East Yorkshire to highlights from Hull and East Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, watch the latest episode of Look North or tell us about a story you think we should be covering here.
