   6% yes, 4% kinda, 90% no.
   Interestingly when I ran this on Tumblr, they were 12% yes, 5% kinda, 82% no.

     The quick explanation: the Vela Hotel Incident (or Vela Incident) was a 1979 event where a single satellite detected the double-flash of a nuclear explosion in the Indian ocean.
     No country officially took credit, but the current consensus is that it was a joint South African-Israeli test.

     @violator mainly just me trying to recalibrate my understand of what "most people know". I have a problem where I keep thinking everyone knows about what turns out to be obscure events, like the 1947 Star Dust "STENDEC" crash.
