Wait for the extreme perfection of the patterns to be explained as, even in chaos-there is order.
Yes, some of the other failed launches made some of the same motions, but not even close to what happened.
Another item to be placed in the save files.
Nothing to see here, just walk away.

The pattern formed is because of an open camera shutter, it will smooth everything out. Hence, perfect spiral rings.

Missiles fired over water, debris will be lost.

I am reasonably confident that it was a missile or something, it just makes sense.
I'd like to believe it alien or other worldly too, but its not, just a spinning missile with smoke belching out the side.

Anyway, I was thinking about this and recall a message from our old friend, Dark Kn1ght. I am beginning to wonder if these sightings are the holographic projects that he said would be coming. What do you guys think?

And all separate sources (there would have to around 15ish by now) had an open shutter?
Most of the pictures taken were not open shuttered, not as expansive and 'perfect' looking.

Forgive my ignorance, but was it over water?
A poster did mention that Russian tests are fired over water.

like I said, possible...but so improbable it would almost seem impossible to even occur on such a mass scale. The more you think about it, the more preposterous it seems.
Preposterous that it's a missile, or UFO or supernatural event?
I'll keep waiting for something that cannot be explained.
Thank you.
It was a clear, brightly starlit night, on 24 July 1981, in southwest and northwest China as well as a large area of southern and south central China. The Milky Way slanted across the night sky and there was no moon. Suddenly at 2238 hours, a strange star-shaped bright spot was sighted by a large number of people in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces when it appeared in the sky to the north. The glimmer became brighter, began to oscillate and then a cloud-like band of light formed around the circumference of the bright spot. The huge spiral shaped UFO with its bright silver color lighting up the cloudless night sky was an especially striking, magnificent and grand sight in contrast with the star-studded sky. In the brief six or seven minutes from its appearance to its disappearance, some 10,000,000 people simultaneously witnessed this extraordinary sight in thenight sky.
During the inquiry into these matters, three main viewpoints have been formed: "the meteor theory", "the aircraft theory", and "the flying saucer theory".
METEOR THEORY DIFFICULT TO SUPPORT... SPY SATELLITE IS DOUBTFUL... WAS IT A FLYING SAUCER?
With regard to the strange phenomena in these reports, although they cannot be categorically denounced as psychological illusions, in view of the above, it could easily be inferred that they had an alien source, but the proof is apparently lacking. At present, besides a few blurred photos which were taken of the 24 July 1981 UFO there is neither any other physical evidence nor any good record of a signal. Also, researchers abroad still have obtained nothing relative to this kind of UFO or aliens. Nor do they include in their large collection of photos of flying saucers any such type of craft with a very distinct spiral trail.
