No link,or even proof its not a Photoshop, you should know better than that Jim. If anyone else had posted that it would be binned,as it should be.

You know me, always claiming "It's just another rocket".

Here's a ground view from Khartoum.

There are reports that a "highly classified U.S. Spy Sateliite was lost after it failed to reach orbit" from Space X rocket.

Is it common for Sudan to launch rockets?
Or is there another country’s agency in the area?

Comments from that Facebook link full of “experts” who “know what they’re talking about”...
Which is strange because there is no consensus among them, instead just a wide variety of theories.

Truth be told they have no idea what they’re talking about...
Being Facebook, that is no surprise really.



Quick question, if I may;
Why the Aliens & UFO Forum, Jim?
I see no connection.

Because it is unidentified so far

If these are just regular rockets, why haven't these spirals been seen all over the place until recently?

"Space spirals' are a major genre in UFO reports [see Norway December 2009], they are at the very least a calibrating phenomenon for UFO witnesses, and are widely seen by intelligent and serious observers as the results of anomalous stimuli -- and could in some cases be exactly that. I'm not trying to mislead or make fun of anybody, understanding what causes these reports helps understand the UFO puzzle. No hoaxing or faking involved.

Yet it’s not flying, nor an object...

So my question remains.

That is true, thanks.

I did not intend any accusatory tone that may have been perceived from my post.
I was just genuinely curious.

It's not a certainty that the mission is a failure, according to comments in the link, the release of fuel on re-entry can be normal for safety reasons.

My first thought too. Any videos of how these spirals look in motion? Some unique new propellant must have been invented. Looks like bug spray.

Excellent question.

My answer is, they have been, but evade the existing internet search engines because they are so far beyond the range of common human experiences.

I'm sure there's video of the Norway spiral being formed ..... think it's in the thread relating to it here .

Jim, does that not look like a rocket launch to you?? Maybe one gone wrong???

Thanks for the links. I can kind of see how the extra propellant and water when vented can form these over time due to the rotation of the rocket. Pretty cool. Space clouds.

And I learned a new word today, "cosmosol".

Space X and/or Elon Musk have not confirmed Zuma lost yet. But it's looking that way.

a reply to: thepixelpusher

I would say, from what we know regarding other spirals, it's more likely a launch failure.

But ...... over Sudan?

I wonder who?

a reply to: JimOberg

Haha Jim, I like your sense of humor, you know this is from the space-x launch, but at least you play along!
