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

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.

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.

Location: Hartenbos/George (South Africa), Western Cape, South Africa
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.

Characteristics: Lights on object

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.

The slow-moving extraplanetary object stopped and then proceeded to a racetrack pattern for a few revolutions. The object then darted off, first slowly(eased in) and then with a dramatic increase in speed until it vanished out of sight. I had various other shooting-stars before that to use a reference for the movements of the object to be considered as abnormal. Unable to find a relation to the movements from celestial events with current knowledge
