but noone reported verballyspiral ufo,s or described the spiral effects of the rocket launch they saw , verbally either.....

These comments are the reason that such "artificial pseudo-UFOs" really ARE worthy of closer study by serious ufologists -- they provide unbiased calibration of the reliability of descriptions by eyewitnesses of unusual sky apparitions. If you know what the original stimulus actually WAS (and the connection with the Falcon-9 is no longer a 'possibility', it now seems a certainty based on timing and local illumination and a catalog of similar precursors), then you know what the visual stimulus would have been -- and you compare with what observers SAID they REMEMBER seeing, and -- voila! -- you see the mismatches that are characteristic of eyewitness perception of lights in the sky. It is a humbling and cautionary exercise, which may be why I see so few UFO buffs eager to perform it.

thanks for the map...which shows it flying over Australia...not the ocean...over populated areas like Sydney....wether in "the atmosphere" or not !!
And no...It didnt look over the ocean when I saw it....
it also appeared stationary before then travelling east....would a rocket stop mid- orbit ???
Can a rocket stop mid- orbit??
You see, its little things like this that prevent me from accepting the MSM tale...you have chosen too...good for you!!
Exactly!! And here are two other eye witness testimonies that say in part:
"It was like a yellowish, greenish light with a light spiral around it," he said.
"It sort of moved around, bobbed up and down and then it went behind a cloud.
"I'm just amazed. I want to know what it was."
AND
Peter, from Balmoral, says he saw the light while he was on a ferry terminal on the Brisbane River.
"It certainly had that lollipop-type swirl ... but it was travelling low and fairly fast, and as it went past me and I looked up, it looked like a row of lights, maybe four lights," he said

I too find it strange that all of the sudden rockets that go "wrong" start doing the spiraling thing.
Why havent rockets done this before? why all of the sudden spiraling moves?
Not buying the rocket theory either, this phenomenon is whether natural, or artificial, but not by a rocket.

The cloud was sunlit. At orbital altitudes, this only is possible within an hour of observer sunrise (or sunset). And by now it's gone -- although the stage itself is still in orbit and will be visible to ground observers around the world.

And may I correct you on a minor detail (that won't happen often.. so I better enjoy it..)
At orbital altitudes, this only is possible within an hour of observer sunrise (or sunset).
The length of that period depends on your latitude. The closer to the poles, the longer that period during which satellites remain visible before dawn/ after sunset. I can state this from firsthand experience - I've just moved about 20 degrees closer to the equator and now I'm finding it quite frustrating - the time I get to satellite watch is notably reduced!
(Which makes my comment about Africa even dumber... Ah well..)

The pictures of the orbital track that people keep posting in this thread are a fiction. They are invented, made up, unofficial - so do not believe it is real until it is confirmed. The company has not released that information to the public.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see the similarity here?

It's not a Russian rocket. It's the American Falcon 9. And, no, it's not particularly interesting.
We've had a handful of these spirals now, and all have been easily explained. Hopefully, we can now file them as 'identified phenomena' and move on to more interesting things.

I think it was attacked by an alien Giant wasp just before lift off causing it to spiral over Australia.
