The sky of the United States witnessed a rare phenomenon that caused confusion and surprise to the heaven, where a bright and distinctive white line appeared that penetrated the sky in the colors of the pink pink twilight and purple. This mysterious line, which was monitored by the residents of states such as Colorado, and New Mexico and Canas, was not a natural phenomenon, but rather a human activity in space, specifically the passage of the upper stage of a Chinese missile.

According to the Space website, the missile that caused the appearance of this white line is the Zhuque-2E, which was launched by the Chinese Landscpe company from the Jichiwan Center for the launch of satellites in China. The missile was launched early in May 16, carrying six satellites, including a spacecraft equipped with a radar and a scientific load. After completing the launch process and the load reached orbit, the upper stage of the missile began to empty fuel at an altitude of approximately 250 km above the surface of the earth, which caused bright white light emission.
Photographers like Mike Lewinsky in Colorado, Derik Wilson in New Mexico and Tyler Shellet in Kansas, managed to document this white line in the sky, describing the scene as a missile light that flows through the horizon, and is completely different from the rare air phenomenon that sometimes appears with the polar twilight.
Astronomers, including Jonathan McDowell, stressed that this phenomenon was the result of the passage of the upper stage of the Zhuque-2E missile, as the discharge of fuel caused the issuance of a bright light that can be seen from the ground, especially in light of the presence of the geomic storm that made the polar twilight visible that night.
