Uncanny Case No. 006: The Vela Incident

The Vela Incident, also known as the South Atlantic Flash, was a mysterious event that occurred on September 22, 1979. It involved the detection of an unidentified double flash of light in the South Atlantic Ocean, near the Prince Edward Islands, which are controlled by South Africa. This flash was detected by an American Vela Hotel satellite, which was designed to detect nuclear explosions as part of monitoring compliance with the 1963 Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
