Phage,

Didn't you already establish that the times don't match up?

If it was another rocket, would it not be documented?

The parts would not have fallen in Cape Town. But it was not the North Korean rocket. The timing is wrong.
On the other hand the timing is perfect for the X-37B launch.

Phage, the mystery is solved. Very nice voice clip from a local radio station where a scientist from Sutherland, where our biggest telescopes are, explains it all.

It was an OTV 3, orbital test vehicle. The flares was seen because of reverse burning to get back into orbit.

Everything there, straight from the scientists mouth.

Sorry guys, no ufo here. It is indeed the x37.

I just tried to. Launch was at about 0100 UTC which would have been 0300 in Cape Town.
Still looks like a rocket though.


So 11 December 2012 at 20:30 and 22:30 was the capetown event, wasn't it? Or am I wrong? Were there any others of earthly origin launched at this time? Or did the N Koreans accidentally create a time machine?

You are right and it was not the North Korean rocket but the X-37B. (see above)

For the rocket brigade please tell me how they can hear this object all the way up in the atmosphere where a rocket would do a stage separation and how does a rocket stage tumble in a holding pattern?

Perhaps the witness actually heard wind.
What do you mean "tumble in a holding pattern"?

WTF, not convincing!?? Dude, its a clip from one of our biggest radio stations. It is confirmed that is indeed the X37b.

Case closed.

Here are some Witness Reports :

Cylinder shaped “cloud”. It had a light in the “cockpit”. It made a windy noise that is noticeable but no engine sounds. It moved in a straight line at about twice/three times the speed of a passenger plane in holding pattern. It was seen by two friends in Rondebosch, two family members in Brancenfell and a group of people in Paarl.


Smokey light with a “bubble” moving. Bright light.


Clear sky. Conical shape with bright forward light and bright star shaped light at rear in a cloud like mist. Heading from south over Camps Bay towards Table Mountain where dissipated. There were 8 of us watching and no one has seen anything like this in our skies before

We live out towards the Bottelary Hills area and this evening (11/12/2012) at around 20:40, saw a weird sight. It looked like a cloud moving and was lighted up. It turned and then suddenly stopped and started to vanish. There was an aircraft a couple of kilometers from this object and one could clearly see the aircraft and this object did not look like another aircraft. The skies were unusually clear this evening with no clouds or fog. Did anyone else see this? I am a pilot myself and know what aircraft look like

Yes the times do match up. Thank you. I didn't realize that another rocket was launched that day. Since my first thought was that it was the N Korea rocket until I noticed that the times didn't match.

Did you read the eye witness accounts if it was a rocket stage like you said and if it separated what I meant was how would a free falling rocket stage tumble in a holding pattern


Text It moved in a straight line at about twice/three times the speed of a passenger plane in holding pattern.

First, who said anything about tumbling? What is seen is exhaust gasses, not the vehicle.
Second, that quote makes no sense.
