South Korea's unannounced rocket launch causes a 'UFO Scare' | Oneindia News *International
A brief public scare of a suspected UFO appearance or a North Korean missile launch was triggered in South Korea on Friday.
Post the scare, the South Korean military confirmed that it was not a UFO or a missile launched by North Korea but a solid-fueled rocket which it test-fired.
In a major blunder during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, South Korean athletes were mistakenly introduced as North Korean delegates. The mistake was highlighted by both French and English announcers, although the subtitles correctly identified them. This gaffe comes at a time of heightened tensions between the two Koreas. South Korea's sports ministry has lodged a formal complaint, and the International Olympic Committee has issued an apology. Watch the full story and see the reactions from both South Korea and the Olympic organisers.
