Evidently something violent and explosive had transpired in the ocean off the southern tip of Africa. Half a year later, researchers in western Australia detected increased amounts of radiation in the area. The signal appeared to come from a 3,000 mile area that included the South Atlantic, Indian Ocean, tip of Africa, and part of Antarctica. A presidential panel concluded in May 1980 that the signal was more likely an artifact of a meteoroid hitting the satellite and sunlight reflecting off particles ejected as a result of the collision. Much of the information about the event is still classified.</blockquote>
