Colourless and silent boomerang object flew over me while stargazing

Earlier this evening I was sitting on the balcony with my mother and I was looking up at the stars, facing west and gazing around the Orion constellation and mostly looking at Sirius (southern hemisphere sky). Suddenly coming from South and moving directly north was a silent object roughly the same size of my hand outstretched in the sky. It's dimension in the sky was very large, like an aircraft.

It was colourless and it blended in with the night sky, moving at a constant speed, like you would see with a satellite. It was fast and large but it was certainly closer than a satellite would be. It made no sound and had no lights and its shape stayed constant, it looked like a boomerang/crecent in shape. It was higher than cloud level and it seemed transparent

I'm very puzzled with what it could be.

Bright light changed to solid craft and then back to two orbs

Just after 6:20 am, while standing and looking out of my back door into the morning sky. I noticed a small light coming from the west at about 200 meters at a fast pace. As the light came closer it got bigger and just stopped midair. The light then moved to the right at a very slow rate. All of a sudden, a white round solid feature appeared with aerials sticking out from the side facing me. I stepped into the back yard to get a better look. A glowing bright light was still coming from the structure. After a few seconds, the structure moved slowly towards the south and now changed into two bright orbs which followed one behind the other, disappearing into the distance until I lost sight.

The angle and elevation started from about eye level and went to 90 degrees overhead. Then it back down from 90 degrees to 45 after it passed over me.
Bright Light - Changed to Solid White Structure - Changed to Two Orbs

Bright orange/white orb flying steadily across the horizon in a north-easterly direction until disappearing over the horizon

At approximately 4:15 AM, while standing outside with two friends, I saw an orange-white orb in the sky. My friends confirmed seeing the same object. As soon as I noticed it, I took out my phone and started recording, but I struggled to focus.

The orb moved at a consistent and fairly rapid speed, maintaining a steady north-easterly direction without changing course, accelerating, or slowing down. The night sky in the East Rand is quite polluted with light, making only the brightest stars and planets visible. However, the orb appeared significantly brighter than the surrounding stars.

We did not observe any red or green navigation lights or strobe lights typically seen on aircraft. While observing, my friend pointed out a slightly smaller object moving in a different direction, which we believed to be a satellite.

To the naked eye, the orb appeared orange-white, but in the video, it seems to have a slight green tint. It had no visible trail, such as those left by comets. On this day, first light was at 5:22 AM, and visibility was 23 km. We stayed outside until sunrise but did not see any other similar objects.


NUFORC Note:

The International Space Station (ISS) was visible from Boksburg, South Africa, on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at approximately 4:13 AM. The sighting lasted for about 5 minutes, reaching a maximum height of 58° above the horizon.

Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw multiple bright objects flying in different directions at different angles and different speed. Two evenings in a row.

On Friday the 7th of February after I went to bed I had left the curtains open as it was an extremely hot evening. At around 22:15 I saw the first bright object thinking it was a satellite, but it suddenly disappeared. I woke up my husband saying I think I saw a shooting star. Suddenly a bright light appeared again and I realised that it had to be something else. The light appeared to be coming in our direction and I then thought it might be a small aircraft that has to make an emergency landing. The light again disappeared. I waited to see if I can try and capture the traveling lights on my cellphone camera and was able to capture a video on Friday night. On Saturday evening I waited again to see if these objects will make another appearance and they appeared again. I took more videos. At times the objects seem to be flying past each other at different heights and directions and different distances from us as some lights appeared brighter than others. They also appeared and disappeared multiple times. I tried to get the attention of these objects with a spotlight and once I shone the light on two of these bright objects another light appeared and made a sudden movement towards earth disappearing again. These particular crafts were traveling close to earth. I kept an eye on the moving lights and was able to still see them in a different area around 00:40 am before I ultimately decided to go to bed. After telling some of the locals about my sighting they did not seem surprised at all as other people in the area has been witnessing these traveling lights for quite some time.

It was in a sphere shape, flicking white as it was moving to west. There were other two orbs in the distance but I couldn't capture them because of the poor quality of the image of my camera.

I was inside my room when I had this strong gut feeling to look outside and when I did…there they were

It was the day of a Lunar Eclipse. I don’t know if I should add this but I was having an argument with my girlfriend so I went out to make some food in the kitchen as I tend to be hungry around 10 pm to 12 am. I don’t remember the precise time I finished making food as that’s when I said good night to everyone to go to my room. My room is outside which is separate from the main house if it makes sense. I held the plate on my left hand with a water bottle inside my left arm and the door key on my right hand. My phone was in my pocket. As I was trying to unlock the door I saw a white owl by the corner of my right eye and I looked for a second then took a breather as around my area, owls are known for witch craft. As soon as I opened the door I went in my room and put the key down the table first, food and bottle next then my phone last. As I closed the door to my room I had this strong weird feeling in my gut that I should look out the window and I did, for a second there was nothing until I saw white large birds flying towards the right of my direction in a V formation. I noticed these birds when illuminating that’s when I rushed to open the door to have a clear view of what I was looking at, that’s when I noticed I was looking this large craft of some sort in a V formation moving smoothly through the nightsky. I felt air rushing out my body and I froze looking at this…I don’t know it’s weird or not but I was soooooo Beautiful! My mind just went from thinking about anything to literally nothing. I felt peace, sort of like an energy feeling calming me down. As I was looking at the craft I heard footsteps by the road and I looked and saw this other guy walking up the road facing the direction opposite the craft, I wanted to show him the craft I was so speechless I couldn’t think of say anything. As I looked back at the craft I started to get myself together and started to observe further at what I was looking at. I noticed the craft had lights which were kind of like dots and they were more than 9, roughly around 13 lights in a V formation. They made no noise they were passing low I would say around 700 meters I’m not good with distance. On the further left of the craft the second last light was moving kind of like a kid, it would speed up and slow down again and again which made me think this wasn’t 1 craft maybe a fleet of crafts. It changed my life. The sighting really changed my life.

Got called in to check a report of a fire on the hill. There was no fire, but 3 of us saw some lights

Got called in to attend a fire on a hill, when we got there we searched but found nothing, not even the smell of fire. Fire truck left, and my self & a friend spoke to the witness who was very embarrassed but was adamant that he saw a fire.

He described how he was a block further down, and saw a fire starting on the hill - he said it was big. He started running up toward it and said he could smell something like fire, but as he carried on up the smell went away. When he got to the foot of the hill there was no fire.

After the fire truck had come and gone, and we searched everywhere for any sign of a fire (we found none, and didn't smell anything), we were simply enjoying the night sky - now at approx 7:20pm - where saw three satellites (two following each other in a straight line from West to East) and another one afterward that came from the South and headed North. I pointed these out to the other two guys. Then I saw flashing lights (red and white) and said to the guys "Oh look - AND there's an aircraft". But they flashed strangely - if it was an aircraft the way the lights were moving would mean the aircraft would have been "jumping". What was also strange is that my eyes were weird - I actually thought there was a tree in the way, and that's why my vision of the aircraft was obscured. Instead the lights (flashing on and off as they moved from east to west) just instant vanished. If it was an aircraft, we would have seen it for quite a while as it vanished into the distance. It is also a clear night, so they did not vanish behind clouds. I am wondering if the witness never saw a fire at all, but instead saw an anomaly of some sort created by the UFO's who might have been closer to the hill at the time.

Closest Distance: Honestly no idea. But further than clouds
Estimated Speed: No idea. Super slow. A bit faster than a planet
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects

Not a satellite as i couldn't visibly see movement. I thought space junk but what flys past it super fast at the end? Very weird

Sitting in my garden having a smoke break. As I work from home. I often sky gaze (day and night) so I am very familiar of how satellites, planets, stars, meteors etc. look and move.

This was super odd. I thought it could be space junk, as it seemed to be sitting it in one spot. But I realized it was moving very slowly (far too slow to be a satellite).

You could only set it when the light would shine off it (i assume the suns reflection). What got me though was the light that speeds past it right at the end.

It was visible for around 10 minutes until the clouds covered it.

Please excuse my language in the video.

Green orb. Blinking in intervals of about 2-3 seconds. Moving rapidly in weird directions. Too fast for drone. Light vanished horison

A green orb suddenly appeared in the sky. It was cloudy but the orb shined brightly still. It blinked in intervals of about 2-3 seconds. It moved very fast and repidly and would sometimes go dark and then turn on again.(Lights) it was quite a strange sight since it left no trail as was way to fast and manuverable for any drone. The weird thing is that the South African National Space Agency was just below it. The object floated for about 15min before moving South to Hermanus and disappearing on the horison.

I was on my way in the car to a client on the freeway R59 from Johannesburg to Midvaal. Just few Kilometers before the exit to my client location, R 550. The sky was very clear, I noticed the object speeding to my left, then suddenly stopped and changed direction to the right. The stop of a fast object, changing direction, with no inertia nut sudden was what shocked me. I remember that was a day that the Pretoria air show was happening, but I was like 70 Km away from show. Amazing speed but the sudden stop and change of direction was the unbelievable part. I am fairly knowledgeable on aircrafts to know was not a jet, helicopter of similar planes. My only regret was that I was travelling on a Highway and could not stop for not even a picture, never mind a video. I only reported it today because I was reading about some new CIA documents made available to the public. I do not drink or take drugs and was like 9 am or so in the morning of a clear sky.

Strange flying objects moving in different directions

For the past 2 months or so, I have noticed strange flying objects in the skies above my house. At first I thought maybe it could be a satellite or drone however the more I observed these objects, the stranger it got.

There was 1 object at first, it had a bright orange/yellow colour and the shape seemed to be a triangle however the 'bottom' of the triangle was not straight and instead tilted inwards. Hard to explain however imagine a diamond with 4 corners, now reverse the bottom half of the diamond to its shaped inside instead of outside.

Suddenly now there is more objects howerving in the sky. One of them seemed to be bright blue and would travel up/down/left or right. While observing this object, it would suddenly disappear out of nowhere and reappear more higher up in the sky.

Reason why I am reporting this is cause now these objects seem to deploy some weird blue light that would travel closer to the ground as if they are coming to get me. When these unexplained blue lights travel closer to me, I get freaked out and would run back into the house. A few minutes later I would go outside again and they would seem to be traveling back into the skies.

I have noticed how these lights can travel from the clouds to maybe 500 meters above the ground and quickly travel back into the skies. These lights seemed to follow the objects which are hovering above the skies.

I understand if I may seem insane however I strongly believe there's something up there that can't be explained and it's movements don't make sense for such a small object to be so high up in the clouds and move the way they do.

Today December 21 at around 10pm to December 22 at around 12:30am, the skies were full of these unexplained objects which seemed to flash red/blue at times. One of the lights that followed these objects traveled closer and closer to the ground, the moment I tried to identify the shape, the light would then disappear out of nowhere as if it was invisible

I hope someone can give me an explanation for all of this cause the internet doesn't seem to have the answers i'm looking for.

To clarify, I am reporting the triangle flying objects and the small blue lights that seem to follow them at a lower distance than them. The objects seem to be high up in the clouds, moving slowly in different directions and the lights seem to be closer to the ground also moving strangely in different directions

The objects are always surrounded by similar looking objects and at times they would all move together in a formation

Anyway I hope someone understands what I'm trying to explain cause to be honest, I can't. I don't know what they are but I am certain it's not a satellite or drone hovering above my house

My father was checking on his surveillance cameras and saw this object captured from the night before.

In the footage, there seems to be a glowing orb flying high above the town of East London. As it moves closer to the camera, it is seen to project a beam of light onto the city/bushes, almost as if it was scanning or searching the area. Eventually, the beam moves over the factory and hits the camera which causes its alarm to go off. By the way, the orb was not emitting any sound at all. The orb then slowly flies off into the distance and out of veiw. My dad and everyone he works with are complete sceptics and do not believe in any sort of UFO. He sent me this video because he knows i’m a believer.

It could possibly be a helicopter but it made absolutely no sound. Please get back to me and let me know if i’ve captured a UFO or not.

UFO

Son-in-law standing outside smoking a cigarette noticed an object sort of round but changed shape with different colours. He called all of us to come and look. My daughter/his wife took a video of it and afterwards went inside as she was unnerved by it. My two sons another daughter and myself and husband stood outside and watched for a period of time. It moved back and forth with lightning speed. I then noticed a couple tiny white objects back and forth, sideways as well moving up and down towards the bigger object. This object moved two fast for a helicopter or anything else and there was no sounds from it. We also had a blackout the same time which we all found was odd. The area it came from was not far from where we are Cintsa and that is where the power station is. We are still very very puzzled by all of this and if it was not for the fact that all of us saw it we would think we imagined it.

Characteristics: Lights on object

They occur frequently at night, flashing while standing still and would then dissapear or change location

The sighting has occurred for months now since the one came over our house with an enormous bright light, it appeared southwest moving east with a bright flash, and stayed that way up until it couldn't be seen anymore. Flashes have been occurring more frequently of still standing objects that cant be identified with the naked eye as they are too far up. Some travel at satellite height or even much lower at hyper speed and some change direction suddenly. these don't occur much but the flashes are almost every night. either from the northern parts, eastern parts, and southern parts of the sky as the bird flies. At first, we thought they were planes, but realized planes have noise and don't standstill. Then we thought it was a helicopter, but again, a helicopter has noise and they aren't that high. we have tried flashing them back with a tactical laser 200km distance beam.....they seem to disappear/ stop flashing after that. There was a case where one kept on flashing after it was flashed back in morse code. They usually appear in more or less the same place at night. The latest one that was sighted moved low, cloud height, to the south coming from the north. They are shiny seems like they are illuminated in some way or have bright lights surrounding them. They are never alone, feint ones can be spotted if you look very very carefully, your eyes play tricks on you sometimes if you lose focus. But looking away and regaining your focus helps to see them again for a moment. It is too dark to take any videos or images via phone, I have tried, but the bright ones appear as a small star, and that wouldn't be valid. They seem to be getting closer at some stages.

Location details: I observed the object from Hartenbos. It appeared in the direction of George.

Shape: Other


A sttange object with three wings took flight from ground level and disappeared into a northern direction upwards.

I saw an object take off from ground level, quite far from me. At first I thought it was a passenger jet, since it was taking off from the vicinity of George airport, as seen from my point of view. I kept looking, as I was intrigued by the sharp angle upwards of the flight path.

We were watching the sunset from our balcony while I witnessed the aircraft gaining height. After a few moments, the flight path seemed totally strange and I pointed it out to my parents and my wife.

My father fetched his binoculars. The object changed his direction from flying westwards towards Hartenbos, to flying in a northern direction.

We all got a chance to have a look at the object through the binoculars. It had three wings around its main body, comparable to a rocket with three wings evenly around it. The whole aircraft was unmistakably rotating while it was flying further upwards. All four persons present saw the constant rotation of the object. The craft was yellow and shining in the light of the sunset. It kept getting smaller and smaller as it gained height in a northern direction until it was too small to observe. The whole sighting was more than ten minutes long. There was no sound audible.

We went outside after there was a huge storm. Lightning must have struck some electricity poles as there was no electricity. We went outside to light a fire. The sky started to clear after the storm. Suddenly this cigar shaped object appeared. It moved from North to South. Slowly. It was incredibly bright. It looked like it had a brighter part on one side. It was cigar shaped. It look huge and was completely silent. We could see it was metal. It moved along the mountain. My son got his cell phone and took some pictures. The pictures dont justify what we saw. We could see something radiated a very bright light from the inside, out. 2 of us were pilots. 5 of us saw it. It had openings on the side facing us with the light coming outwards. Very bright. It moved slowly and disappeared to the South out of our view. There are very few houses in this rural area. The nearest town is about 25 km away.

UAP over Rhino Sanctuary.

Good day,

I have some very wierd footage for you from South Africa, captured at 04:00 this morning by my son on a high security Rhino farm with state of the art security systems, including radar (which was how the object was detected in the first place) and night sight cameras. They could not identify the object on camera, and as its a no fly zone, they dispatched a team of rangers, but no lights and no sound was heard by the team, so they could not locate anything as it was still dark. The object was not traveling in a straight line, and it changed course as well. Im sending you the video of the very wierd looking object, and there are two still images of the diffrent directions it was traveling (in yellow dotted line in the first, and white dotted line in the second), there are no routes there. Hard to determine the height of it, as it looked high at some stage, and very low at other stages. This is definately not a drone of some kind, and the shape seem to move on the top of the object as if scanning or something.

Just very very wierd.

Craft approached me with 1 very strong but not blinding centre light parking above me from ca.25 metres

As I was about to switch on our garden lights I noticed three very strong lights approaching me from a northerly direction. Two of those lights turned 90 degrees from my right and the third light came directly towards me. I was of course very scared as we have a small airport nearby. The craft stopped exactly above my head in fifteen to twenty metres in height. It remained stationary for approximately ten minutes. As I walked away to have another angle I could see into the craft through the raised glass dome. I could unfortunately not detect any life or movement. There were no fumes or any sound whatsoever. The craft was absolutely stationary. As I looked up again the craft disappeared in total silence like the speed of a bullet into the sky. As I said before I was very scared that I would be attacked.

PS I originally reported this sighting to Mr. Matthias Bieder of Die Bild in Germany.

I was looking up at the sky because I have insomnia and noticed a star-like object moving through the sky in a sort of zig zagged direction. It kept going dim and then suddenly shining brighter than the other stars, as if it was bouncing from one area to the next. It was moving very close to the other stars as if it was exploring them. It would go near a star (and look less than a mm away from the star from where I'm standing) and then suddenly dart to another star.

The balls of lights flew in different directions if they were satellites they would not do this.

I witnessed 3 balls of lights flying in different directions, I have witnessed many shooting stars and I know the difference. They are at a very high altitude and look exactly like stars to the untrained eye.

Many UFO'S [possibly between 7 and 11] - looked like stars, but were performing fairly high speed formations in broad daylight

Looked like stars but very bright in the daylight blue sky.

Ground conditions all around Cape Town were extremely windy. The area where we are situated has very little wind and no cloud formation while this was taking place. So visual was very clear.

But these star like objects were moving around like in formations of some sort… I did recognise one formation which looked very similar to Orion’s Belt, then another formation took the form of the Southern Cross and I also recognised one or two or star like formations.

Very odd - there were 2 or 3 that just hovered on the outskirts of the others that were doing the formations.

The colours varied one was quite a red colour - there were 2 that had a blue green look and the rest of them were silver and others a yellow/gold colour.

They performed for a good 15 - 20 minutes then moved upward and they disappeared in stages while the remainder of the group seemed to slowly move up and then eventually out of sight.

I managed to get one or two visuals on my phone - I should have done video instead but I didn’t want to take my eyes off them.

Reflection of strange object in the water

https://youtu.be/nqG1-kRT0Is

I live near Mookgophong in the Limpopo province. On 16 April, 2017, just after sundown, I filmed the reflection of a strange object in the mirror smooth surface of a farmdam.

Because it was a totally windless afternoon the clouds reflected perfectly in the water and I decided to film a small island in the dam to create the effect that it float in the sky. (first part of the video).

Then, I decided to try and film the reflection of my drone in the water. I had to gain height not to desturb the waters surface with the prop wash. I then recorded the image of the drone in the water. During this period I didn't notice anything strange. The three people with me also did not see or hear anything.

It was only the following morning when I played back the recording that I saw the strange object.

I am including the YouTube link to the video.




NUFORC Note:

The witness provides high-quality video, which shows the reflected image of a strange object, passing across the field of view of the quadcopter camera. We are unable to identify the object. PD

Small white very fast moving object over Cape Town

It was 18:40 South African time and I was looking up at the sky and saw an object travelling very fast in an exact straight line almost like it was on a fixed track.

I mentioned it to someone and they said it could have been a drone but i doubt it, it was too fast and no "publicly available" drone as far as I know travels in a perfectly straight line.

It could have been a shooting star but it was an unusually long duration and it brightness never changed which is the norm (again as far as i know).

There could well be some rational explanation but all I know if I've never seen anything like that.

While driving, we stopped to see constellation. As watched toward North, there were two bright stars shining in lower sky and we were wondering what stars they are. one of us who had a tracking stars app on his cellphone tried to focus on them to find out what they are.
It was around one minutes struggling to focus by cellphone, and suddenly they disappeared. I searched on internet and found the shape similar to what we saw.

V Shaped formation of 20 - 30 fast moving copper / orange objects

Place of sighting: - Kyalami, Midrand (Johannesburg South Africa)
Time and date: - 21:29 CAT (JHB); 27 March 2016
Initial sighting direction: - West West South (towards Krugersdorp)

Event details: Just before going to bed, I went outside onto the patio leading from our bedroom. Being a clear cool autumn night, I went outside to look at the constellation of Orion (Westerly direction at around 30 Degrees elevation at the time) to see how clear it would be. I noticed a small commercial aircraft making its way towards Lanseria airport (North Westerly direction from our house).

I then looked more to the South to look in the direction of where a neighbour's dog was barking, and noticed a string of faint coppery orange orbs in the West. These were moving in a boomerang/"loose string of pearls" formation towards Pretoria (to the North West). I estimated they would have been directly overhead for the residents of Krugersdorp. At the beginning of the sighting I estimated the length of the edge of this formation was about the same as holding a 4-inch long object out at an arm's length. The easterly edge of the boomerang immediately reminded me of the so-called "Phoenix Lights" --this was the first thing which went through my head when I saw them - this because the "string" looked straight and level relative to the horizon and looked like a picture I had once seen of that phenomena (note: these objects in this sighting were much closer to one another and there were many more). This was the closest the formation was to me, thereafter it became smaller as it moved north easterly towards Pretoria.

The "string" on the Westerly side moved erratically, many simultaneously moving rapidly and overtaking one another, then dropping back. The same movement happened on the easterly side of the formation but not to the same extent. The shape remained a "v" regardless of the movements of the individual objects. The formation was moving between the constellation of Orion and Sirius.

The closest comparable motion I can think of is a flock of birds flying in a v-formation in very turbulent weather and then the speed of their movements speeded up considerably. The changing of relative positions was almost "playful," but always kept the same distance between the individual objects.

As they moved over, the v-shape became more pronounced and less "flat" - I could not count them properly but I estimate there were over 20 individual objects, those on the easterly side being marginally brighter than those in the west). These were individual objects and not part of a single larger object.

The colour was slightly darker than the orange hue of the star Betelgeuse, and luminosity around 20% of that star, on the night I called my wife to see the formation, but by the time she was outside, the formation was much fainter than when I had first seen it and was just about to disappear behind the tops of the trees in the north west and she did not see the formation. At this time the easterly side of the formation went straight again but the westerly side continued to move erratically. She witnessed a shooting star off to the side of where the formation was.

During this time - of only around 10 to 15 seconds at most - I only took my eyes off the formation once when I tried to see if my wife was looking in the right direction.

In relation to the airplane mentioned earlier, the formation was moving much faster and seemed much higher in the sky. To put the speed in perspective, the sighting covered about 3/4 of the sky and was over in the time mentioned earlier. This reminded me of the speed of a low flying fighter jet. There was no sound from the formation, and I did not hear engine noise from the airplane either. By the end of the sighting the airplane had disappeared but admittedly was not the focus of my attention.

I expect the only reason why the objects were even visible was because of the position and luminosity of the rising moon - reflecting off the lower surfaces of the objects - much as the sun does off satellites in the early evening. They did not seem to emit any light themselves - ruling out the typical Chinese Lantern misidentification. I immediately sketched the sky and the path / formation on my smartphone (attached).

I am familiar with aircraft (as we have multiple airports in the vicinity) and have been interested in airplanes and associated technology since an early age. These objects and their speed, proximity to one another and movements do not fit any aircraft I am aware of. Their movements would have been extremely risky - if impossible - for any formation of aircraft to attempt without colliding. The acceleration and deceleration of the objects also did not seem physically possible for a object with any weight.

Please note this sighting was reported to MUFON (case: 75463) on the morning of 28th March.

UFO sighting in South Africa on 21 December 2015.

Early yesterday, Monday morning. I was driving towards my farm in a westerly direction, when I noticed an hot air balloon that was about to land right next to the road. I stopped and took a photo with my cell phone before I continued.

About 4 hours later I looked at the photo again and it was then that I noticed a very white object in the background of the photo. With the limited enlargement capacity of the instrument I noticed a craft.

I immediately realized that this was no object of known origin. It looks like it was moving at an angle of about 35 degrees with a radiation towards the front and the back. It also seems that the craft was emitting a strange glow.

I am sure that if this photo could be enhanced more secrets might be known!

Characteristics: Possible abduction

Abduction event by Greys in Johannesburg South Africa.

Revelation:...

Last night, or rather this morning, at around 2am, my partner experienced an abduction, in Johannesburg, South Africa.

She was asleep, and found herself searching, for something unknown.

Then, she 'knew' that there was something, that came from the earth, that resembled a square mist, that had copper strands inside it.

She remembered that this thing became visible, and she was devastated, because she would then not be able to reach the perfect stuff. She got upset and tried to awaken me, I just lay still.

Then, she accompanied her 'young Grey', and recalls floating above flowers and grass, a small patch, and then came face to face with an older, very large Grey. She called him Wisdom.

He then, telepathically spoke. She told him what's she saw and what happened with the mist thing..

He told her: " We, (referring to himself and the others behind him, and to me ((name deleted)),) can NEVER become tainted. Never ever." She felt intense overwhelming feeling of love, and he took her hand, opened it, and put in a necklace with an infinity sign, which shone brightly and was covered in darkness. He then said, "You may go now." She then, accompanied by her younger Grey, left to go back to bed. She then woke up.

This was a full recollection of the abduction of this morning, and a message from the Greys.

Awoke and saw a horizontal pillar of light ending in garden. couldn't see how high it went. First thought it was a reflection from neighbours lights. But it couldn't be as it was totally upright. First I thought I was just mistaken.

Then my husband woke and without me saying anything he mentioned the light. We could only presume it came from a satellite. There are so many around.

It was weird and I am so sorry I didn't investigate further or take a photo.

Report of 50+ balls of light and 2-3 massive ships appearing in South Africa, above Johannesburg.

Hi there,

On the 26th of July, 2015, I was sitting on my front porch, looking directly into the sun. I was wearing sunglasses and my eyes were just shielded from the sun's direct gaze.

I then noticed many many many small, round objects start to appear from directly in line with the sun. It was almost like they were "warping in" and moving passed in an easterly direction. The were pretty much balls of light, some moving slower than others, some zipping around lower in the sky.

I started counting the smaller balls of light and lost count after 50+. I also noticed 2-3 larger ships in the sky. I say ships because I could make out tail fins. They were exceptionally high up, but I could measure them to be roughly 10mm in the sky with regular eye sight.

They seemed to be "arriving." The event lasted the entire afternoon, petering off around 16:00. Today, the 27th, there are still some of the round balls of light slowly moving across the sky from behind the sun.

I did panic a bit, and I only managed to grab exceptionally poor footage of the balls of light. I was too flustered to try and capture the larger ships, and didn't have the right tools to do so nicely.

There are at least 8 people now that have seen the balls of light, and the count seems to be growing.

Hopefully, you take me seriously.

Advanced spheres with changing lights & morphing abiltys. Seen 4 different types sphere, cigar, morphing & a dark circular disc (orbs)

Every night in Port Elizabeth, I see & spot plenty of ufo's. Some sparkle & reflect all the colors in the spectrum. They break formation regroup, some also morph there crafts & disguiz them selfs as the stand passenger plane. Some make no sound at all & dart up & down & in a zigzag like pattern. I can see the in the tree as small dots. I have been experiencing this for just over a year now. They present themselves as almost like a cartoon "grey alien's." I also figured out that they have masterd control light energy and dark energy/matter.

They have amazing tech. & seem to use some sort of fusion energy & magnetized there craft which as no wings & no tail/rudder.

I have amazing footage and hours of recording them. I just want to put this out there because it seems people don't notice or care. I think some miltary establishments know all of this & can't seem to catch up when jets are despatched.

Also, keeping this out of public channels because of global panic. I say the people of earth have a right to know.

I would like to share my footage it is unbelievable! Can't leave my details but I'm sure I can contact someone to investigate these frequent sightings. They must be at lest a few thousand years ahead in terms of there tech & abilities.

Captured via camera, bright yellow glowing orb

Early hours of Tuesday Morning 03/02/2015, two of us went out to an open piece of ground to take photos of the most spectacular electrical storm happening some distance away (We could not hear the rumble of the thunder from where we were).

We were out from about 12.30am to approx 2.30 am and finally packed up cameras due the cold.

We had not noticed anything unusual at the time. No lights, no sound, no glowing disc.

Once the photos had been downloaded and we were going through them looking for good lightening shots within the storm, I noticed on several of the photos, a brightly (yellow) glowing orb.

Dismissing the first few as potential lens flare, I began skimming through the photos.

I noticed the yellow disc had moved position in the photographs, although I had not moved camera position.

I took a few of the photos, and inverted the colour, and the shape of the object became far more clear this way.

Who do I contact to study the photos and assess what it is we have captured in the photos?

Ufo/moving stars/flashing strange colours/moving in formation

I went outside and looked up at the stars to marvel at them as I always do & noticed a star, on further inspection I noticed it was burning different colours. It looked small and then another one joined it. They were locked in some sort of dance breaking formation and re-organizing. I noticed that they seemed to move around in different patterns.

I also noticed that they get brighter and then faded slightly and started moving away into the distance. This amazed me and I was sure its military.. After going inside to wait for some time to pass.

I came back out and this time there were more spread out and in a strange formation, I notice strange waves of light and I could feel that I was been watched it felt like I was been toyed with as I tried to take photos and a video but there was nothing on my screen just darkness.

They then broke formation and started to fade, as if it were all in my imagination and that they had become camouflaged with the normal stars & sky behind them.

This was def. military or an actual UFO because I have noticed that these same things have been reported all over the world.. They flash red, green, blue and white lights and move in a jelly fish like type of way.. (Bizarre)

I cant believe what a nut I sound like writing this.

A still unmoving saucer shaped craft was seen in mid air above a valley on the highway with flashing yellow lights

I was driving into town on the highway and suddenly saw a saucer like craft completely frozen in the air above a valley. I initially thought it was an airplane but when I examined closer I saw yellow lights flashing all around the middle of it. It did not hover or move, it was completely still in mid air.

I was driving in my car alone, and don't know if anyone else saw it. I looked around on the highway and nobody else seemed alarmed by it or to notice.

I am a 26 year old cartoonist and live approximately 40 minutes out of the area I had the sighting.

I am mostly a homebody but being Saturday evening I was on the way to visit a few friends.

Light moving and changing like i have never seen before.. and I look a lot..

We both noticed a light moving across the sky, its was moving just under the Orion Stars, moving very slowly but moving..

Then the light increased in size, the light got brighter, to the point of astonishment. Maybe 10% of the moon size, it was big like that for just a second then became smaller again and started moving away what seemed like through the Orion constellation and moved at crazy speed till it vanish into the infinite distance.

Half Moon object, that camouflaged itself to the night sky.

This sighting happened in South Africa, Northriding, on the 15th of April at 19:00.

My friend and I was watching the Orion stars and we both noticed this object moving across the sky at a rapid speed. The object’s shape was a half moon and was huge. Its wing span was from the top star of Orion’s belt to the bottom star. It was approximately 30000ft altitude.

We are situated in between two airports and constantly see planes flying over the night sky and this object was unlike any we have seen. We have a full view of the night sky and this object moved from one end of the sky to the other in a matter of 20 seconds.

The object was not an orb or shiny or had any lights on, this is why it was not a plane. The object seemed to camouflage itself to the night sky. It was like you could see through it but had some sort of structure to it because we could see the shape of a half moon.

It looked like a cloud but there was no clouds at the time and it was to solid but clouds break up when they move and this object was really moving fast and clouds do not keep their structure like that when moving. It was weird, like seeing something from a Star Trek movie were they have a cloaking device on the plane.

No sound was coming from the object and some planes past over the same position later that evening and you could hear the planes. You could fit 10, 747 planes in this object.

I know what I saw and it was not a plane, swamp gas, clouds some natural phenomena or a drone (drones are not that huge). This object flew across the night sky and made a turn at the end of the other horizon. Nothing man made can move from one end of the sky to the other so quick.

Shape: Cross


UFO in Cape Town SA from west to east sharp edges cross shaped orange,

3 Family members were outside. I looked up and saw this weird orange cross shape and said what the hell that is? The rest looked up and saw it as well.

Unable to judge the distance but it moved very fast from West to east and disappeared.

There was no sound at all. It had a definite orange glow with sharp triangular point and 2 triangular “wings”. I personally did not notice a tail of sorts – other witnesses said it had a short back “tail” The inside was not as orange.

No explanation never ever saw this before – don’t even believe in UFO. We all very puzzled.

Willing to draw and e mail should you be interested.

Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Richards Bay (KwaZulu-Natal)(South Africa), YT, South Africa

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

Orb appears from cloud, disapears in plain sight and is "hunted" by helicopter.

A bright orb appeared from over a dense cloud and proceeded to move from SSW to NWW. I followed the "light" for about 20 seconds then ran into to house to get my flash light to signal it and see whether there would be any response.

When I went outside I could still see the orb very clearly and proceeded to flash the object with my flash light. I continued to flash the object for about 20 seconds then the orb's intensity decreased significantly for about 5-10 seconds and then vanished completely in plain sight. About 1 minute later I could hear a helicopter and to my astonishment the helicopter was following the same path/direction the orb did and continued on this path to exactly where the orb disappeared and did a u-turn and followed the same path back until it was out of view.

About 5 minutes later the helicopter returned and it flew around the area seemingly looking for something. This continued for about 10 minutes until it flew away again in the same but opposite direction where the orb appeared from originally.

5 bright orange lights spotted moving rapidly accross the nightsky

At first we thought it was a flair but then it rapidly moved across the sky and disappeared on the horizon followed by 4 more. We managed to capture the last 2 on video. 3 disappeared in the same direction however 2 of them split away and seemed to be going in another direction. They moved accross the night sky in complete silence.

On 1 January we experienced an "alien-like" encounter upon returning home after new years celebration. We could not see anything but heard the most unsettling "hover-like" sound for an hour. (Like thunder rumbling/speeding train/aircraft hovering in sky) after 20 minutes, I went inside the house and layed on the bed with my 2 kids, my husband stayed outside.

Altough I could hear it, I "felt" the sound move through me as well.

Location: Ladismith (South Africa), , South Africa

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Left a trail

Lighting-like UFO seen in small town pass.

I saw it as we were driving through a pass preceding Ladismith.

It's a little hard to explain, but essentially it looked like a beam shaped like an arrow head but with longer points, which almost reached the tail.

When I first saw it, I thought it was a firecracker, because it was still January, and some of the locals often popped them long after New Year. But then it kinda 'zoomed' away. It just became smaller, like it was flying off. It literally happened in seconds, and it shot off so fast I thought it had disappeared. Only when I thought about it did I realize it had 'stretched' (leaving a trail) in a different direction before disappearing.

Its coloring was like lighting. Pure white in the center and edged with a very striking blue light. When it took off it got a very long tail of the same coloring.

I didn't see it for long, but I was kind of surprised by it, honestly.

Strange rumbling/hovering sounds (not only heard, but "felt") eventhough no lights/aircrafts/UFO's where seen

My husband, myself and our 2 kids spent new years eve 2013 celebrating with my parents. We returned home at about 00h30, put the kids to bed and went outside to toast one last drink to 2013.

Immediately we heard an overwhelming rumbling sound, too soft to be thunder, we live too far away from the railway for it to be a speeding train and although it sounded like an aircraft hovering we saw no signs of lights in the sky.

My husband called a couple of his nearby friends who claimed not to have heard it, I made a post on facebook asking the ppl in my area if they're experiencing the same thing (which later on a couple of them confirmed) and eventually my husband and our next door neighbor walked down the street to investigate.

At this point I went inside, climbed into bed with my 2 kids and felt anxious and somewhat afraid, as if an impending doom is upon us. Apart from hearing this awful sound I also "felt" it move through my body as I laid in bed.

This experience lasted for an hour.

Orange-red light in sky, Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Christmas eve 23:15 in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Walking to my car with my father and his wife when I noticed a bright orange-red light due south at about a 40 degree angle to the horizon. I mentioned it to the others and my father suggested it is a planet. I said it is not in the right place for a planet and it is too bright and deeply coloured. It seemed to pulsate but not in a predictable pattern.

After some time it smoothly moved further away still going south and the light became dimmer until it eventually disappeared. We couldn’t explain what it could be.

I remember seeing a similar light also on a Christmas eve about 25 years ago.

Shape: Sphere


Large spherical fireball moving faster than Boeing towards sea.

Saw very large spherical fireball, more orange than red, with very prominent dark outline (darker than night sky), descending from the sky in a diagonal line to the southwest. Much faster than a Boeing.

Lost sight of it as it descended past the roof of neighbour's house. Looked like it was moving towards the sea.

Our house is approximately 1.2 kilometres from coastline. No sound emanated from sphere and it looked like the phenomenon moved with purpose on a set course, not like random phenomena of nature.

Constant speed, not accelerating. Definitely not a weather balloon and not a meteorite, much too large to be the latter.

Wondering whether the excessive speed of the phenomenon perhaps causes friction with the air molecules, hence the fireball appearance?

Definitely an unidentified flying object.

I first thought this might have been a airplane, but when it started dropping I knew it wasn't unless it was on fire(it left no trail of smoke) and was about to fall into the sea. As we live 5 km's from the sea.

I have ruled out a comet, for I read there will only be two occurrences in 2014. And I've ruled out a meteor, because I have a slight idea what that could look like.

The entire event lasted about 25 seconds I'd say. Was just next to the only star I could see this evening, did not have my mobile phone nearby to capture any picture unfortunately.

All I saw was an orange bright light, bigger than the biggest star I have seen, slowly dropping, becoming less bright till it eventually disappeared.

I'm reporting this event, out of sheer curiosity of what it could have been that I just saw, and if anyone else could have seen it.

Bright orb-like object moving near ground - seen in residential area , Boksburg , South Africa

I was lying on my bed watching a movie on my phone when I saw a bright white light (almost star-like colour) but asumed it was someone using a torch as it was very close to my window. I continued watching my movie when I saw the same 'moving light' - it went up and then down but like at an angl (side way to the sky and then back to the ground) I then realy freaked out a bit and then went to my mom. Before I said anything she asked did you also see that? I said yes there was like moving light and then joked about it being an 'orb'. She said she had seen bright light against the wall outside and also thought it had been a torch perhaps but there was nobody outside, everyone was in the tv room. I went back to my room looking outside but saw nothing. After about an hour I saw the same thing again but havnt seen anything else so far - it is night time and there isn't really anything around my house that I could think can explain what I saw… Does anyone think I'! m just "seeing" things???

Triangular and a Disc shaped craft - SOUTH AFRICA

Good Day.

UFO SIGHTING OVER SOUTH AFRICA,JOHANNESBUR, RANDBUG – DATE 5 November 2002.

I was outside and it was around 9 o’clock in the evening, I was observing the night sky with a pair of binoculars, a storm started to approach from the East and was very electrical. As soon as the clouds had covered half my view of the night sky I saw a UFO moving very slowly from west to east and hovered above me about 10 000 feet as though it was observing the electrical storm. I had a good look at it with my binoculars and noticed it was triangular shaped and had light of a orange colour emanating from what looked like widows of a rectangular shape. I later(5 years later)had a look at a picture of the TR-3B ( U.S.A experimental UFO) and I am sure that is what I saw.

UFO SIGHTING 2 OVER SOUTH AFRICA, JOHANNESBURG, RANDBURG – DATE 1st and 5th OF JANUARY 2013.

It was New Year’s eve ( TIME 12:22am ) there were a lot of fireworks been let off and I was watching the display, I then noticed what appeared at first to be a flare as it was an orange/ red orb, but as I watched it, i noticed it was moving in a straight line towards me at the speed and height of a commercial airliner, I noticed it was flying from north to west and then disappeared behind some clouds. The strange thing was: On the 5 of January 2013 I was watching TV and through my living room window I saw the same UFO coming from the NORTH, this time it was closer but on the same course and exactly the same time 12:22 am, I then had a better view with the binoculars and noticed that it wasn’t one ball of orange and red light but a disc shaped craft with four lights equally spaced under the craft( orange/red orbs) without the binoculars it looked like one big orb of light.

I saw a red star like thing moving slow it moved straight to me and then turned and disappears.

It was so strange, I know it can't be a satellite because I have seen 1 before. And it can't be a plain because there was 1 flying over head the same time. I first heard the plain and start to search the sky for it.

That is when I saw the light. It was moving very slow. I first thought it was my mind fooling me but then it got closer and started to turn. As I followed it, it started to flicker and dim and then just disappeared.

Bright orange object that turned pitch black moving at a constant speed in a Northern direction (South Africa)

On the night we were outside having a BBQ when I saw an object in the sky just beneath the clouds that appeared to be emitting an orange light (bright, but not blinding). It seemed to move in a northly direction at a constant speed.

In a moment it I thought it was gone, but it was my friend that noticed that it was still there moving at the same speed, but it had turned pitch black in the blink of an eye. We only saw it because the moon was almost full and you could follow the dark object under the moonlit clouds.

This could not be a plane as it didn't have any other identity lights that flashed. It was pure orange, then pure black.

I am a refractory supervisor in a BHPB aluminium plant and my friend and his wife work at the local Bank.

Location: Johannesburg (South Africa), , South Africa

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

Large red/orange light moving fast over Johannesburg. Not an aircraft!

First off, I have been working in the aviation industry for the past 12 years, so I know what an aircraft looks like. What we saw, was not an aircraft! Further more, I have a keen interest in astronomy and often spend time star gazing, this was not a meteor fireball either!

I was standing outside having my evening cigarette, when I noticed a large (street light sized) light moving fairly fast (about 6-8 seconds to cover an arc stretching 20 deg off the horizon from the West to 30deg on the eastern horizon, 45 deg inclination) overhead. I immediately called my wife and she then had a couple of seconds to observe the object as well. We both agreed this is not something normal.

The light was closer to red than orange, flashing slightly in intensity but never disappearing. No sound accompanied the object. The sky was mostly overcast, I would say 7/8 coverage with broken patches at various heights. It seemed like the light was higher than the lower cloud base which I would estimate at 1000' AGL (5'500 AMSL) but still shone through.

Given the size of this fireball object, if it was an aircraft or helicopter, your would definitely have heard its engines. This thing w absolutely quiet.

Whilst watching the light pass, a commercial airliner passed overhead and we had a brief moment where we could directly compare the light to the aircraft. The crew in that aircraft must have seen it too! The lack of sound from the light was in complete contrast to the sound of the aircraft passing. You could clearly make out the shape of the aircraft as well with the various navigation lights.

The light moved from the East towards a Western direction in an arching line, then out of sight behind tree cover.

I swear, I've never seen anything like this before! Yes, logically the red port light of an aircraft would fit the angle we were seeing this object, but it does not account for the size of it nor the manner in which it shone.

The best way to describe it, is like a ever so lightly flashing meteor fireball on a clear sky without the distinctive tail and accompanying bits breaking off from ablation.
