Was very high up, couldn't hear anything and was moving at an incredible speed considering the height it appeared to be at?? Started out as a smaller dot with a halo, then became larger as it moved across the sky and the swirl was far more obvious around it.

Yes don’t worry it Batman he has come to save us
It’s a fuel dump from the space station. I wondered what it was myself
Something to do with space x falcon 9 according to another post I’ve just seen
Aliens!! Aliens from England! Runn!! Take’a’cover!!!
Comments in another post say it’s a rocket launch, such as space x, at a high altitude.
How bizarre!
Its a SpaceX rocket i believe
Second stage of a SpaceX rocket venting oxygen
Whenever I’ve seen images before it’d always been some sort of missile test. Can’t imagine it’d be that in Powys though.
It’s just been over Liverpool too (check out r/Liverpool there seem to be some knowledgeable guesses on there, something to do with spaceX/ falcon booster)
It’s a space X rockets jettisoned its fuel so you can see it falling back into the atmosphere.

Reddit being silly can’t view comments.
Its all over the world, it’s do to with a rocketships thrusters – nothing to be worried about!
Looks cool whatever it is
Very strange but cool too, only thing i could suggest is a “moon dog”
How strange. I’ve seen an incredibly similar thing on the page of a group of photographers by RAF Conningsby
Typically you see these types of trails after a rocket launch. I wouldn’t expect to see one over Powys though.
Not sure where all the comments have gone. It’s says there’s 20 comments.
In case this wasn’t answered, this was from a space x launch earlier today in Florida, which flew over UK and Europe.
It’s a fuel dump from the second stage of the spacex launch from earlier this evening.
Just saw this over on r/mildlyinteresting

Its the batphone from gotham, come and save us from trump and musk!!
A recent reddit post on seemingly same phenomenon says it’s a “Fuel dump from a falcon 9 upper stage before it deorbits”. [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1jj0y6o/saw_this_in_warsaw_poland_25_minutes_ago/?share_id=-934YDLSAxTGFtHkygmnv&utm_name=androidcss)
From another thread…
Rocket launch from Florida https://www.spacelaunchschedule.com/launch/falcon-9-block-5-nrol-69/
Here you can see the trajectory and time it went over the UK and Europe https://flightclub.io/result/3d?llId=c985cc7c-25ce-4bff-81ba-3b07334dae42
It first passed over at 18.10, and would have made this spiral from the exhaust plumes on it’s second turn around the Earth, 90 minutes or so later.
Google image search “falcon 9 spiral” will show similar images.
Very cool, I wish I had known I would have popped outside to see it
Lewis Hamilton doing a wheely in the air in his lear jet after his China race points were cancelled due to the wrong piece of wood under his car? 😂
Damn I just stepped out to try and see that but it’s foggy as fuck
It’s the moon stuck in a whirlpool, obviously!
