0:01 / 4:08 Broken Shield "They are Here" Sci-Fi Drama

An eerie shape formed in the night sky over Hawaii that looked like something straight out of a sci-fi film. Astronomers at a Hawaii observatory spotted the whirlpool-shaped blue light with the Subaru Telescope in Maunakea on Jan. 18 and shared the curious time-lapse on YouTube and Twitter. “A ‘Mysterious’ Flying Spiral was seen over Maunakea… Really unusual view!” the YouTube caption reads. The astronomers then asked if anyone had any idea what it could be.
