People In Australia Saw The Chandrayaan-2 And Thought It Was A UFO

On July 23, at 2:43 PM, India successfully launched the Chandrayaan-2. At that time in Australia, it was around 7:30 PM. And what Australians saw was a ‘strange’ light in the sky, particularly in Queensland and the Northern Territory, which left them in awe.

At 7:30 PM Monday, Shauna Royes noticed the light in the sky at the Julia Creek caravan park that is located in the far north-west of Queensland. After that, she reached out to the Facebook page of the ABC North West to figure out what the light actually was.

McKinlay Shire Councillor said about how people witnessed the light:

In addition, Jacob Blunt, another person to notice the light, captured the ‘strange bright light’ in a video. You can also hear him say “Look at it, it is an alien or UFO” in the video.

The ABC North West later posted Blunt’s statement on its Facebook page that he thought it was an unidentified flying object (UFO), so he tried to shoot it using a NERF gun.

But they might be disappointed by the truth, as what they saw was not alien or even related to alien. It was India flying to the Moon.

Here’s the explanation, the time difference between Sydney and India is five hours. So the launch time of the Chandrayaan-2 equals the night in Australia, and the entire launch lasted 16 minutes before the rocket left the Earth’s orbit.

In the chart below is the trajectory of the Chandrayaan-2, you can see that it went from the South – Sri Lanka’s boundaries in the far left corner of the chart. As a result, possibly when the Chandrayaan-2 flew over the Southern Hemisphere, it also passed Australia’s sky.

So, in conclusion, Australians didn’t see any alien, they saw India’s Chandrayaan-2.
