Mysterious light with spiral tail seen in Aussie sky

I have to say, I have been thinking the same thing, zbeliever. This is the third recent "spiral" and I have seen explainations and hypotheses that run the gamut...from UFOs, to failed rockets/missles, to signs from God.

Nobody, however, has brought up the possibility of holograms. We have all heard rumors of the existance of technologies that can deliver a realistic and believable image in the sky.

Think about it...if this technology is real, why would you "jump the shark", so to speak and throw holograms of UFO's or Deities in the sky? A large portion of people simply would not buy a giant bearded man appearing in the clouds or a fleet of saucers. However, if you threw something uber-mysterious up there, like a simple shape that is clearly out of the ordinary yet not Hollywood like in nature...the ruse all of a sudden becomes believable, especially if doled out over an extended period of time. A spiral for instance is really diabolically perfect for this scenario.

Well the Rocket was Launched 18:45 GMT and sydney time is GMT + 10:00 hours which will be 4:45 am sydney timings Now we all know the escape velocity of the rocket is 11.2 Km/s and the distance btween florida and sydney is around 15080 km + 253 km at angle 34 degrees leaves me with conclusion of it being the falcon 9 of course I am open to arguments as i want to learn the truth

Did this spiral just disappear? Why do they always seem to last only a few minutes (coincidentally the "burn time" of objects reentering our atmosphere)?

I'd dearly love to see a 10-minute video of one of these "spirals", but I've got a feeling we won't ever get one...

The course you've plotted is consistent with a launch from the Woomera Range.

Any recent activity there?

Besides this?

I just heard on a local radio station (South Coast) that scientists believe its a missile test???

All I can say is that they must be shooting them off all over Aussie

I think this has all started from the sightings in Kadina, nw of Adelaide....

heres a link to the video footage...

Space junk ?? Rocket?? FFS come on. These spiral events occurred across the east coast of Australia, almost simultaneously. Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria. The entire east coast. That is a massive amount of area. Queensland alone is vast. This pathetic dribble about meteors, missiles and space junk just doesn't cut it with me. The most peculiar factor about this whole occurrence is the timing and place. All appearing over major cities/ areas. Cloudless sky.

I'd love to have the experience of seeing this phenomenon for myself.

i dont know what you guys are talking about, that is clearly a failed russian missle. come on people.

*dripping heavily of sarcasm*

What do you mean "these spiral events"? There was more than one?

Obviously if an object is high enough it can be seen by the whole country, especially on a cloudless sky.

to me this image could be anything....but im leaning to some sort of rocket or missile test...



actually looking at it a bit more closer it looks like some sort of light source taken behind a vehicles glass....

More information on stage 1 of the Falcon rocket.

>>>> SpaceX had hoped to recover the first stage of the rocket, which fell into the Atlantic Ocean after launch and was expected to be buoyed by parachutes on its descent. But the rocket segment broke apart as it fell to Earth.

"We are recovering parts of the first stage," Musk said. SpaceX had hoped to be able to reuse the Falcon 9 rocket's first stage, but the company's business plan does not hinge on reusability, he added.

My question is if it is the Falcon rocket then why haven't we seen videos like this before (these spiral videos). We've been launching rockets up in to space for decades. Now it seems every time we launch something up we're going to get a flurry of "UFO" and spiral sightings. It doesn't track with me.

The direction that I indicated on the map was entirely general and was simply meant to represent the approximate west to east direction that the anomaly was reported by witnesses as taking during the observation period.
At this stage, just take it as a very rough estimation of travel direction until I can fine tune it if/when additional evidence becomes available.

These 'spirals' seem to be turning up a lot of places, initially no one knows what they are and then suddenly people like Russia who said they knew nothing of it turn around and say it's a missile test.

Isn't it surprising that six billion people on planet Earth don't have a clue about what the heck's going on? Ok, leave out morons like me, there are thousands of highly qualified scientists who don't know a fig about what these are. Why?

How about their air forces? Russia, Australia, Canada. Why couldn't they scramble their aircraft to intercept these anomalies and take closeup images? Or do they have the usual explanations like rockets malfunctioning, weather anomalies and so on that are not worth the effort?

Is there something more than meets the eye here? I don't contend that these are so called UFOs, 'inter dimensional portals', 'time tunnels' and so on. But surely our worthy scientists who waste no time in ludicrous pursuits like why the hair in your ears attracts mosquitoes are not studying these anomalies more closely to arrive at logical explanations?

And that's the reason why the 'believers' go overboard with their 'elucidations' and misplaced beliefs that these are 'time portals' 'dimensional tunnels' and other bizarre explanations.

It was heading east, towards the imminent sunrise...


It did not disappear...it flew until out of sight over the horizon....


The hologram crossed my mind too, simply because it struck me as 2D , not 3D..
This thought came about when i felt it eventually "morphed" from one plane to the other ie. initially it was a circular spiral ala a lollipop type pattern, but then it changed into the thin oval shape...i wondered wether we firstly saw the "face", and then it turned to show the side...its difficult to type exactly, but maybe using ones hand again, spread all 5 fingers out like a star...thats the face of the spiral, with spirals visible. Now turn your hand till you see your side elevation or thumb side...see the flatness created from the big star shape you made previously??Thats how it felt to me...the thing turned thru 90 degrees....sorry for whaffling away, but am keen to get all thoughts down publicly before they are gone..!!

Perhaps it could be one of those model rockets.....that we can mail order and shoot up into the sky...going haywire...perhaps..

for example.. the image below is the spiral trail of a rocket

and there are model/hobby rockets large enough to be detected by radars..

I totally agree

Hi Guys as I have stated in other posts what has been witnessed is the roll from the rocket as it reaches the horizon..

In this shorten video watch towards the end it is clearly visible.

and the time that the spiral was seen here as Ashcool007 stated

Well the Rocket was Launched 18:45 GMT and sydney time is GMT + 10:00 hours which will be 4:45 am sydney timings Now we all know the escape velocity of the rocket is 11.2 Km/s and the distance btween florida and sydney is around 15080 km + 253 km at angle 34 degrees leaves me with conclusion of it being the falcon 9 of course I am open to arguments as i want to learn the truth

makes this the only probable answer to date.



Thanks
