Recent reports – or more precisely, the lack of information from U.S. officials about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) – prove that many mysteries remain in the night sky, despite mankind’s advances in astronomy. It’s really rather satisfying when the curious phenomenon of << Enter the Exotic Sky Show ‘was cracked by science. A similar unspoken phenomenon was observed in the skies of New Caledonia and Vanuatu in the southwestern Pacific Ocean around 18 pm on June 18. Several eyewitnesses here have seen a beautiful sight, but in front of their eyes the sky seems to have sparkled in a dazzling spiral. In an updated Facebook post about the report, the Association Calédonienne d’Astronomie (ACA) said:
“Several witnesses in Yaté, Theo, La Tontouta and Vanuatu saw this strange phenomenon. We have no explanation, but we are far from being experts on this type of phenomenon. Based on our preliminary research, the only similar but more dramatic event is the 2009 Norwegian Spiral. The 2009 Norwegian spiral was also observed at the northern tip of the country for about a minute. While such a scene could easily send many into the tailspin of existence, no great show has been seen as the result of a Russian missile launch that went wrong.
A report by New Scientist states that the Russian government has confirmed as the source of the spiral that the Bulava missile is thought to have crashed due to a reference to the damaged science. This causes the missile to revolve with the plumb and catch fire which creates a lot of spiral display. So, does our Pacific Rotation have a similar down-to-earth explanation? According to the ACA, yes, “Jonathan McDowell, the American astronomer who listed all the motions and orbital launches on the planet, confirmed that it was the second phase of a Chinese Long March 2C rocket that took off from the launch center at UTC on June 18 at 06:25. With 4 satellites on board,” ACA wrote in their updated Facebook post.Amaury Bailey, who contacted him, explained: “After completing the mission, the phase would exclude its fuel (UDMH and nitrogen peroxide) to passivate, meaning it would say [or prevent it from exploding] due to the remaining pressure.” You’ve seen this happen in the tank.”
