> what happened on Bouvet Island? will we ever know?

For those unaware:

> The Vela incident was an unidentified double flash of light detected by an American Vela Hotel satellite on 22 September 1979 near the South African territory of Prince Edward Islands in the Indian Ocean, roughly midway between Africa and Antarctica. Today, most independent researchers believe that the flash was caused by a nuclear explosion[1][2][3]—an undeclared joint nuclear test carried out by South Africa and Israel.[4][5]

> The cause of the flash remains officially unknown, and some information about the event remains classified by the US government.[5] While it has been suggested that the signal could have been caused by a meteoroid hitting the satellite, the previous 41 double flashes detected by the Vela satellites were caused by nuclear weapons tests.[6][7][8]

No one will ever confirm or deny what happened.

I encoded secret messages in rave flyers I designed in the mid-late 1990's, in Los Angeles. I couldn't tell you what the messages said now, I just remember that I did it. The messages were encoded in a border design, much like the subject of this article. I may still have an example somewhere, but finding it in my digital hoard is going to be a problem.
