Did anyone see it?

Can't say I did.

 

Seems strange one is allowed to just jettison fuel like that. Can't be good for the environment, and a bad example to sea faring craft.  Maybe it all burns up on reentry.

I think the second stage Falcon uses a liquid oxygen and liquid methane fuel wich are not toxic to the environment. The first stage rocket uses liquid oxygen and kerosene as propellant but these are recovered, cleaned and checked before re-use. The rockets that were allowed to crash and burn or fall into the Oceans certainly were polluting Earth. Didn't see the spiral and would love to know what the "classified" mission is.

I didn't see it but I did notice a musky odour in the air.

'Spiral In The Sky Likely To Be From Spacex Launch'..

Could it be anything other than from a SpaceX rocket launch.. it was on the locsl TV news a' giant white swirly thing' in I guess the upper atmosphere, a marginally better headline than
'SpaceX rocket explodes, raining debris from sky for second time in a row' - but then if it's a classified mission we'll never know that the 'Likely' is 'Definitely' ;O)
