What Was the Vela Incident?
WorldAtlas ^ | World Atlas

Posted on 09/22/2022 11:45:17 AM PDT by DallasBiff

A US Vela Hotel satellite captured the Vela Incident, also known as the South Atlantic Flash on September 22, 1979. The incident was a double flash of light that beamed off Antarctica near the Prince Edward Islands. To date, there is no official account of what caused the double flash leading to several hypotheses being advanced on the probable cause. Some sources claim that the incident was characteristic of a nuclear test while others believe that the flash was as a result of an aging satellite generating electrical signals. Other sources also claim that the lights were as a result of a meteor hitting a Vela satellite. Although investigations remain classified, investigators ruled out an explosion.

Never did trust penguins! How can you can’t trust something that calls itself a bird yet can’t FLY!

Wikipedia has a much better article about it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vela_incident

From my limited reading of the incident, I’m inclined to believe that it was a joint Israeli-South African effort. Given the enemies that surrounded both nations, they had good reasons to keep testing nukes.

Probably the same thing that illuminated all of Mt Jupiter in Washington State, in the Olympics mountains, on the Hood Canal side for over 15 minutes one night in 1985.

Basically I cut up the cheap fake Velveeta and let it start melting

Medium heat or less - slowly

As it’s getting melted a few pats of butter and 1/2 cup whole vitamin D milk

Then two cans of Rotel

Hope you enjoy

Sorry it was a one off personal observation - just me and an old guy now long gone. Were we lived there were only a few people - it was pretty isolated - no power, no running city water, no paved roads, no phone
