This object bears some resembleance to a spiral galaxy, although it is many millions of lightyears closer to earth.
Galaxy Messier 74, the Phantom Galaxy:

It may have an eerie, UFO-like appearance, but this mysterious blue spiral in the sky has a far more mundane explanation.
Citizen scientist and satellite tracker Scott Tilley replied, saying the spiral's positioning was a near-perfect match for where the second stage of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket would likely be minutes after launch.
The first stage, meanwhile, returned to Earth on a drone ship at sea.
'Fuel vent from the F9 2nd stage from the NAVSTAR 82 (USA 343) [55268, 2023-009A] launch,' Tilley wrote.
'The payload orbital elements propagated back reveal a very close match around 2023-01-18T14:40 UTC.'
SpaceX launched the GPS satellite from Cape Canaveral in Florida on Wednesday at 07:24 ET (12:24 GMT).

Is that real? It looks fake, photoshopped.

HL2:EP2 is awesome. It is the best part of the series.
I didn't enjoy episode 1 all that much.
