Thumbs down I think i saw a supernova! (Obs topic)

Guys this time i want everyone to settle down and do i! I have alot of information to tell you all. The day i saw there was no smoke appeared in the atmosphere. It can be not something in the atmosphere at all!

Ok guys, i will send this information to our local observatory stations in NSW or QLD to figure out in the place i found out on star chart. I located in Mensa constellation is based on declination of -70 degrees to 85.5 degrees. Centre part named NGC 2070 LMC or Dorado (is seen in southern hemisphere) at 60 degrees or looking at Horologium section at 60 degrees and 249h. The object GF 1061 (Gliese-Jahreiss) at 44 degrees, 30 minutes and 46 degrees. The distance is only 11.9 light years away of in magnitude of 11.92. Also another possible object in same area called Iota Horologii which is 50 light years away as in declination of -50 degrees, 48 minutes and 12.3 degrees.

Wiki have information about this includes:
Mensa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensa_%28constellation%29 (on there, you can also see the chart where is south pole on the bottom of the map)

Next one is Dorado: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorado (next door to Mensa)

Horologium is another location, also next door to both neighbourhoods. It have stars in it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horologium
At this position, star Gliese have highest magnetude to provide higher explosion that can be seen from Earth. Gliese object: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GJ_1061
This is one of our local star but this one is quite small anyway.

Now any astronomers in here can comment about this? I have to send it to Canberra or Coonabarabran stations to have a look whats with those locations. This describes the location where i saw.
