UFO spotted over eastern Australia (Video at Site)
ABC News ^ | 6/5/2010 | ABC News

Posted on 06/05/2010 12:52:20 PM PDT by Dallas59



An astronomer says a bright spiralling light spotted in the sky by people across eastern Australia was probably a satellite, space junk or a rocket.

The UFO was seen moving through the sky just before Saturday's sunrise in New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT.

ABC News Online has received dozens of emails, pictures and videos from those who claim to have witnessed the huge white light.

Some described it as a "lollipop-type swirl". Others say it hovered for a while before gradually moving in an eastern direction until it was out of sight. Those who saw the object say photos do not reflect how large it actually was.

which both turned out to be a Bulava missile which was being adjusted in its orbit," he said.

Adjusted...!? Wow...I must say that is a very Russian turn of phrase.

That's like bulldozing your house, but describing this as remodeling or pressure-washing.

The launch failed, and the errant rocket was detonated, IIRC.

They have good rockets, but for all the heady claims the Bulava has so far turned out to be something of a lemon.

Hmm. Coincidence that SpaceX launched the same day?

PICTURES: SpaceX Falcon 9 makes orbit on first attempt

SpaceX launched its first Falcon 9 booster from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 1445 EDT today, reporting that the vehicle successfully delivered its payload, a qualification version of the company's Dragon capsule, into low-Earth orbit.

Nobody will dispute that there have been drastically increased frequency of a number of things recently. Earthquakes, tornados, and now spiral lights in the sky.

The Bible tells us of a time when many things will all be occurring at the same point in time... synopsizing here: Men will be racing to and fro across the face of the planet at incredible speeds, the re-established Nation State of Israel will hang like a millstone around the neck of the world, there will be a push for a one-world currency and a one-world government, men will see strange and amazing things in the night sky, and right before the grand finale...

...an all out assault on Israel, either aided or ignored by the entire world... nobody will be left standing with Israel at this time.

Scripture goes into far greater detail, including many more descriptions of specific things that will occur in these days. T"Their armies will be women, and as women," "the ground itself will shake," "global disasters will be huge, and common," (the volcano stopping air traffic, the oil poisoning the ocean), etc.

It's more than a little coincidental that all these things are happening now, and never have before in all of recorded history. The kicker for me is the virtually un-challenged push for the elimination of Israel by the Satan People of Islam.

If I'm right, we'll know before too long.

Amen.

THX THX.

The comments by those viewing it best and longest do not match those of the naysayers . . .

Yea there something up with these swirl now being seen around the globe...

I could buy a one off anomaly like the first one in Norway last year as being some Russian rocket test gone bad....

But we now had to many of the same thing in different locations around the globe

Could be secret military test,

Could be some new or very rare natural phenomena (hey the sun spot cycle been out of whack also) ..

Could be the Greens are right and we done something really wacky to the earth environment

Could be alien are doing crop circle's in the sky to get us ready for the big first open visit

Could be the sign and wonder of the second coming (think star of Bethlehem

Could be anything...

But it sure looks to be something to start looking in to ... and not a one off fluke anomaly

It’s the Falcon 9 booster from the launch yesterday.

Ok fair enough... but question ...how long have we been launching in to space... since the late 50's (Sputnik 1, 4 October 1957) and people have never notice this swirl anomaly in association with a launch till the now?

I seen many of the high altitude ice crystal trails from Vandenberg launches, they meander they don't form spiral swirls....

If these spiral swirls sighting and locals all correlate known launches and locals, great...but what being seen the "spiral swirls" look to be a new in relation to (or if spiral swirls where known but just very rare, then in proportion to) launches...whats changed?

Do you offer this photo as same thing as reported?

This is a view from a launch site with a connect contrail from the ground to the missile...

What on this thread is on the other side the world from a known launch and is seen stand alone and disconnect from any trail

If someone want to say it, the Falcon X launch, the first thing is to see if Falcon X was over Australia at that time...

Would Falcon X launching from Florida need to be in orbit before it would be near Australia? ...if it path was even near Australia?

My guess is that the Falcon 9 booster went out of control (after it did its job) from what I've read. The swirl in Norway a few months ago was from an out of control Russian rocket. A factor may be that there are many more electronic and security cameras now than in previous years to record the events.

There was a large noctilucent cloud caused by the Shuttle last year. It was the first one I've seen and I've been watching launches for many years. That doesn't mean they are something new.

No, not the same thing, it was just a gag. Lighten up.

My suspicion about these spirals is that someone is testing ways to defeat missile defense.

As an aside, that contrail is from a missile launched at White Sands. The spiral is from a maneuver used to burn off excess fuel.

From the article......”A privately-owned rocket launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on its first test flight is believed to be responsible.”

Thereafter the criticcs, as generally happens, proceeded to say why that just couldn’t be.

50/50 as usual...and once again fog or whatever prevents a clear view.

No there hasn’t been more earthquakes nor tornados than any other years!.....we just hear about them faster and on an international scale because of computers and cell phone images bring them to us at rapid pace.
