In the ongoing search for answers to Lismore’s mystery explosion and bright light on Tuesday night (October 5), more enigmatic clues keep appearing. Read more: North Lismore's 'explosion' mystery reveals aliens, fireballs and starlinks


One Lismore App reader said he heard on the ABC news this week that a number of people had sighted something in the night sky that was believed to be a Chinese rocket.


Unfortunately, no link to the news story could be found online.




Chinese rocket launch?


However, there was mention in various online news sites of a September 28 launch of the China Long March 3B rocket – which was then seen over Sydney - and sparked a number of UFO sighting claims.


On Tuesday night, at least two Lismore residents spotted a bright light moving east to west in the sky, but they did not hear the explosion, or experience the electricity outage.


Could the bright light in the sky have been another Chinese rocket launch?


China has been periodically launching rockets to construct a new space station.


In May this year, fragments of a rocket launched as part of the space station floated in orbit for more than a week before crash-landing back to Earth.



Power lines


Another Lismore resident told the Lismore App that as a ‘delinquent’ child he would make powerlines touch each other and that would trigger an explosive sound and bright light.


Could the gathered group of young people in North Lismore on Tuesday night have done a similar thing?


The Lismore App visited Terania Street in North Lismore to investigate - near the Bakers Corner and Liberty service stations – as well as the railway bridge.


In places, the power lines could potentially have been close enough to be forced to touch.


But questions arise like: How does the person making the powerlines touch avoid being electrocuted? And why didn’t Essential Energy notice it?


In an ongoing search for answers, the mystery continues.


The truth is out there.
