Why Have Four Nations Launched Rockets Within Five Days?
Less than two weeks after the New York Times published an exposé on a covert, ‘black money’ Pentagon UFO study, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch led thousands to call in reports of a UFO sighting.
SpaceX founder and CEO, Elon Musk, took to Twitter to tease unwitting observers, posting a video of the launch with the caption, “nuclear alien UFO from North Korea.”
While news of the launch eventually spread, easing the fears and confusion of onlookers, over the next five days, three of the world’s biggest space programs would launch satellites of their own to observe something in Earth’s orbit.
Roughly one minute before the Falcon 9 launch, Japan launched its H-2A rocket from the Tanegashima Space Center, carrying two research satellites into low earth orbit to study weather patterns and test ion engine technology. This marked the shortest succession of successful rocket launches between two nations in history.
The Falcon 9 carried a payload of 10 miniature communications satellites as part of the Iridium Next Constellation, a series of eight launches that will release 75 satellites into orbit.
Almost a week later, China launched its own rocket to deploy remote sensing satellites as part of the Yaogan-30 project, ostensibly conducting electromagnetic experiments for environmental purposes.
But it doesn’t end there. On the same day as the Chinese launch, Russia launched two of its own rockets containing satellites, of which only one was successful. Rocosmos lost contact with its first rocket, due to an embarrassing programming error. It was carrying research satellites from a number of countries around the world.
Meanwhile, a second launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile, intended to overcome missile defense systems, was successfully launched from the Kapustin Yar test site in the Astrakhan region of southern Russia.
This series of launches among four of the world’s major space programs has raised some eyebrows, especially in the wake of the disclosure of the Pentagon’s UFO program. These five launches occurred within five days of each other, four of which contained satellites.
All of the satellites deployed from these rockets were ostensibly launched to study weather or expand communications systems. But is this all just a coincidence or is there something that has led some of the most powerful countries in the world to take seemingly prompt action in these consecutive launches?

Mysterious Object Falls from Sky, Drains 100-Year-Old Pond
A woman living in a rural Tennessee town claims she saw something fall from the sky into a pond in her backyard, finding the pond was suddenly drained of its water. That resident, Patsy Wright, dismissed the idea that the drainage might be due to a sinkhole, as she says she saw something coming from the sky into the water, creating large waves, before the pond disappeared entirely.
Wright reported the story to her local Nashville NBC affiliate, which ran a report that included drone footage of the depleted pond she says had been there for over a century.
“When I seen them waves go up like it did (sic) and then they come back down. And I heard the splash. I mean it was a big splash,” Wright said. “I walked down here with my dog and sure as the world, no water. It was gone.”
According to reports, it was difficult to tell what the object was, due to the depth of the hole. It’s also unclear what happened to the water, though it’s assumed it was absorbed into the water table below, after the pond was struck.
“I know something hit it, because I heard it. I thought, I’m not imagining nothing. It’s there.”
Some online were quick to connect the drainage of Wright’s pond with a similar account from the CIA-employed remote viewer Ingo Swann, who in his autobiography recounts being taken to see a triangular UFO, which subsequently drained a lake of its water.
His account describes being flown to an undisclosed location in the north (possibly Alaska or northern Canada) where he says, “That was my last sight of the triangular thing, but in that last moment I could see the water of the lake surging upward – like a waterfall going upward, as if being sucked in to the “machine!”
This might seem farfetched, however there have been other bizarre accounts of lakes, ponds, and other small bodies of water experiencing sudden drainage unable to be explained by geologists or other professionals. An instance like this occurred on a farm in Utah in 2014, where a bizarre crater appeared in a reservoir.
When interviewed about the strange cavity the farmer described it by saying, “My heck, I guess that’s Martian art!”
Experts from the Utah Geological Survey were unable to explain the phenomenon.
Often unexpected holes like these are attributed to sinkholes – a sudden collapse of the ground caused by the erosion of underlying rock layers typically consisting of limestone. It’s unclear whether a sinkhole could have been the culprit in the latest incident, but if Wright actually witnessed and heard something fall from the sky, a sinkhole could be easily ruled out.
