A breaking news
A group of people has witnessed a rare phenomenon - a fireball for
more than 15 minutes across the sky near the Tuas Second Link on
Sunday. The time was around 7pm to 7. 30pm, 12 August 2001.
The fireball was so clear and it lasted for substantially long
period of time enough to be noticed by many. People were
shocked with such a sight in the sky as they were returning from
Johor Bahru.
SPI Abductboy who used to live in Hill Brook Condominium managed
to capture down this rare phenomenon with his digital camera.
On the following evening, TV stations TCS5 and TCS8 both reported
about this fireball mystery with a video clip taken by one of the
witnesses who happened to encounter the fireball on her way home.

Breaking news on the
Fireball UFO was reported on the following evening.
Was it a comet or an unidentified
flying object (UFO)? Perhaps the exclusive photos by SPI
Abductboy may help you find an answer. As you can see in
the three consecutive photos below, the Fireball UFO went slowly
down for about 15 minutes and eventually disappeared behind hill.
According to Abductboy, he originally thought that was the
crescent moon that was tainted orange in colour. It appeared
like an arch to the naked eye, though on film it appeared as a
orange dot.
When Abductboy first saw it, it was up in the middle of the sky,
and it must be at least 15 minutes before he realized that: "HEY!
it has almost gone down to the hill.. too fast to be the moon."
It was then that he realised he was onto something, and he took
out my binoculars and saw: "OH MY GOD!!! it was something with
great flames bellowing behind!!!" There came the following
three pictures before it vanished.
For the rest of the nights Abductboy was monitoring the site in
case it would come out again; but it didn't. It first
happened to appear from nowhere in the sky, showing its burning
flames (that was why we called it Fireball UFO). It didn't
move away or towards our direction, but it was descending at a
speed faster the dusk over the horizon.
From its movement, it seemed to be like an object entered to the
earth atmosphere and suddenly caught fire. This is why it
suddenly lit up and became visible half way in the sky. And
it was streaking across the sky at a tremendous speed.
However, there seemed to be various explanations for this.
The truth is out there...

An exclusive Fireball UFO footage
by Abductboy.
On the following morning, Abductboy, from the same direction and
location where he captured the fireball UFO, also has photographed
something unknown. He thought it was a black bird moving
fast in mid-air, as many people would have thought so. Look
closer into it.. it seemed to have substance, and the light and
dark part matches with the sunlight on the roof of the houses...
Anybody have any comments on what it is?

Possible explanations on the Fireball UFO
The official analysis by some TCS 5 Expert said it was only a
reflection of sunlight. However, we just couldn't bring
ourselves to agree with that like many others. The following
are the possibilities examined by us and others.
One possibility by a SPI fan - Wor Yuan Long is the "Aircraft
dumping fuel":

Conditions like
altitude, atmospheric pressure, visibility and sunset ray do
provide that sort of spectacular sighting. Remember that Jet
fuel are very volatile. It's pretty difficult to give hard
evidence on that unless you would like to check through the
flight databases on all airlines or military leaving on that
particular airspace. And why and when if they did dump their
fuel. Many reasons for that alone.
However, I have never come across an aircraft dumping fuel
for a longer period than that of recorded.
Else we have had to hold on to our own imagination.

Another possibility based on the fact from
spacewatcher.com is that the fireball may be a falling Russian
Molniya-M rocket that launched a military communications satellite
on July 20th 2001. See the
report.
Note that the Molniya rocket body was large enough that some
debris likely made it to the ground. Had this occurred over
land in Canada, it could have been problematic in terms of damage,
though the amount reaching the ground might have been relatively
small. Interestingly, though lots of rocket body re-entries
have occurred very few have ever had recovered debris, so the
amount making it to the ground for a given booster is largely
unknown. According to information I have the final decay
occurred 12 August, 03:38 UTC +/- 07 minutes (36.9°N, 302.9°E) as
the object moved South over the Atlantic."
The above seemed to be a more likely explanation for the fireball
strange phenomenal. However by inspection of the flight path
of the rocket body, it shows direction of flight path that might
contradict the sightings location of the FIREBALL in Singapore as
shown in the following two photos.
 
This is the flight path
of the Molniya rocket body that descended to Earth and finally had
been seen by in Canada similar FIREBALL that Singapore had seen on 12
August 2001.
Here is another follow-up from Wor
Yuan Long which may be quite close to the truth:
My final conclusion, not a
guess after a night of mental replot on the re-entry flight
path of the entire 12 Aug "fireball" Scenario.
Note that we would be seeing the rocket falling over the
Atlantic Ocean as planned and it should be visually on WEST
of Singapore, Not East.
By 1100 UTC (your sighting at Singapore time 1900H GMT+8),
the rocket should be very near to the mid Atlantic based
upon the astronomers reports that it was seen overhead in
Canada.
Check the attached picture. I hope I'm right this
time.

So what exactly it is? Here are our few speculations:
1. There is Russian Military Molniya rocket body degraded and fall
into earth
2. There are TWO separate Debris from the Molniya rocket
3. The sunlight reflection of a plane (very unlikely)
4. There are life forms landed with the rock and it's being
covered up?
5. UFO had visited us under our noses and landed in military
grounds of Singapore and had since be covered up? To avoid panic,
the media had been silence of a possible chaos if the real UFO
identity had been revealed?
6. It's a FAILED Missile test
7. It's a Failed secret aircraft build by the military?
8. The Time Machine had Warped here and burned up then Warped to
Canada?
9. It's a mass illusion created by David Copperfield?
10. It's a meteorite (unlikely)
