A man in the United States captured a strange image: In the pitch-black sky, suddenly a bright opening appeared, resembling the legendary “Gateway to Heaven.” What could this be about?
Mr. Tavaras Brinson, 38, from Bradenton, Florida, recently photographed a very unusual scene: In the pitch-black sky (because it was nighttime), a radiant area suddenly emerged, resembling a gate, with white beams of light shining down.
This situation indeed resembles ancient legends about mysterious, sacred occurrences.
Mr. Brinson’s photo, when posted on social media, garnered over 1.2 million views. Many believe this to be a spiritual experience.
Mr. Brinson, a construction worker, shared: “It was as if the Gate of Heaven had opened. The sky was dark, but suddenly a bright ‘hole’ appeared. I have never seen anything like it. It was clearly not a star or a meteor.”

The space exploration company SpaceX (founded by billionaire Elon Musk) later confirmed that they launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center (Florida) about 9 minutes before Brinson noticed the bright opening, even though Brinson was over 240 km away from the launch site.
Some netizens suggested that the rocket launch might have created the image that Brinson saw, but Brinson asserted: “I don’t think that was due to SpaceX launching the rocket. I have seen rocket launches several times and it doesn’t look like that at all.” Other netizens agreed with Brinson and believed this was a miraculous signal.
Currently, there is no other explanation for the phenomenon that Mr. Brinson observed. The rocket launch that day by SpaceX carried 52 satellites into orbit as part of the company’s Starlink project, aimed at providing internet coverage worldwide.
