Ufo Sightings In South Africa

Ufo Sightings In South Africa
This is a list of alleged sightings of unidentified flying objects or UFOs in South Africa.

1965 CRAFT LANDING


After midnight on 16 September, police constables Lockem and de Klerk observed a landed, copper-coloured craft on the Pretoria-Bronkhorstspruit freeway. It was 30 ft wide and left a 6 ft wide imprint on the asphalt after a rapid, fiery ascent. The incident was confirmed in a press release by Lt Colonel J.B. Brits, district commandant, Pretoria North.

1972 CRAFT LANDINGS1972 UFO sightings in the eastern CapeOn 27 June a landed craft was observed near Fort Beaufort in the eastern Cape, which attracted the attention of the military. On 12 November a school headmaster seems to have arrived at a still smouldering UFO landing site in the town of Rosmead.

1991 TO 2000


* On 7 April 1991, at 23:15 pm a hovering triangular craft with red central light, and white star-like lights on each extremity, was observed by a family at Baviaanspoort, Pretoria. A similar craft was sighted in the nearby Eersterust township on the evenings of 8 and 9 April, either stationary or moving.
* On 18 November 1993, at 10:15 pm, Messrs du Plessis and Venter, residents of Sasolburg, observed a craft arriving from the direction of Vereeniging. The craft departed in a flash in the direction of Parys, but returned some three minutes later. The craft, similar in appearance to a water droplet, was observed to change colour and shape. With time individual lights were distinguished, and the body was determined to be cigar-shaped. While contained in a yellowish to orange glow, it emitted a downward blue light, before once again departing in a flash, upwards. A nearby town resident claimed to have found imprints of a small craft's landing gear, some two months later.
* In September and October 1994 a farmer at Warrenton claimed to have made repeated observations of a noisy, nighttime craft travelling at great speeds, besides what he described as a 'mother ship'. The craft's noise was compared to the sound of a helicopter or Volkswagen Beetle engine. The farmer's general claims were supported by four independent observers.
* A UFO flap swept South Africa from late March to mid April 1995, which was widely reported in the media.
* At 4:00 am on 28 August 1996 a glowing disc was sighted by sergeant Becker near the Adriaan Vlok police station, Erasmuskloof, Pretoria. The pulsating light contained a red triangle and emitted bright green tentacles, while a radar operator at Johannesburg International confirmed its presence. A chase ensued involving some 200 policemen and a police helicopter. The helicopter chase was given up at 10,000 ft near Bronkhorstspruit, when the object made a vertical ascent. An object was sighted again during the early hours of 31 August and 1 September.
* Around the end of July 1997 a hovering, cylindrical light or shiny cloud, was filmed by Andreas Mathios in the sky above the town of Trichardt, in the current western Mpumalanga province. Besides Mathios, it was independently observed by three other persons around 6:50am. The light suddenly dropped and rose again before disappearing. Trichardt was also the scene of a 1985 sighting.
* On 27 December 1998 the Laubscher family videotaped a group of roundish triangular craft passing over the town of Graaff Reinet, at about 25,000 ft. These were changing colour and sometimes circled one another, before being overtaken by a much larger, shiny, gold-coloured craft. At this point all the objects departed to a cloud bank on the horizon.
* On 8 May 2000, at 3:24am, police inspector Kriel claimed to have observed an approaching UFO while travelling on the N3 freeway, 70 km north of Warden in the eastern Free State province. The orange, oval-shaped light was fitted with two cupolas, one above and another below, and was wide enough to cover four lanes of the freeway. After a close approach the craft receded again. A follow up report claimed that the vicinity is known for moving light apparitions.

21ST CENTURY


* In 2009 two formations of high-flying, orange-red objects, were seen by many witnesses, and video-recorded by some, as they traveled between the towns of Middelburg and Witbank, 25 kilometres (16 mi) apart. The first formation of 7 objects were seen at 21:51 on 27 February, as they flew westwards from Middelburg towards Witbank. Due to their altitude they eventually disappeared behind clouds. At 20:00 on 6 March, they were noted again high in the sky, but this time greater in number, 23, and traveling in the opposite direction.
* On the evenings of 21 and 22 July 2010, residents of Booysens, Pretoria, observed a triangle of bright lights which hung motionless in the sky for two hours. In each instance the object commenced a slow descent towards the horizon at 20:30. Binocular observation revealed nothing more than a blue and emerald light, with a white light which shone straight downwards.
* At 22:00 on 30 October 2011, a Mr van Greuning photographed two of the five silent fireballs which he observed traveling southwards in low cloud near the town of Harrismith.

ABDUCTION SCENARIOS1956 contacteeElizabeth KlarerA well-known photo series depicting a supposed UFO, was taken on 24 July near Rosetta in the Drakensberg region. The photographer, meteorologist Elizabeth Klarer, claimed detailed adventures with an alien race, besides having had an alien lover, Akon, who would have fathered her son Ayling.

1974 ABDUCTION EVENTTravellers Peter and Frances MacNorman claimed an abduction event on 31 May, which would have started near Fort Victoria in the current southern Zimbabwe, and which would have continued to the vicinity of Beitbridge on the South African border.

1979 MINDALORE INCIDENTOn January 3, 1979, a mother and her 12-year old son of Mindalore, Krugersdorp, both claimed an encounter with a group of human-like entities standing beside a craft. One of them would have encouraged her to depart with them permanently. After she refused, they would have entered the craft which shortly shot upwards and disappeared in 30 seconds.

PROBABLE HOAXES


1989 KALAHARI CRASHAccording to supposed leaked documents an alien craft was shot down by South African aircraft, some 80 miles (130 km) into Botswana, on 7 May. Two alien beings were claimed to have been captured on site. To date no primary witnesses have been traced, while the supporting documents, some obvious fakes, were all obtained from James van Greunen. Researcher Tony Dodd lent Van Greunen some credibility in Quest magazine, but other researchers were highly skeptical. The claims have nonetheless been widely circulated, either as fact or as a case deserving investigation.

1995 LESOTHO CRASHAccording to supposed leaked documents an alien craft crashed in Lesotho on 15 September. It was claimed that South African forces retrieved the craft and took three alien beings captive. The source of these documents is unknown, but is once again suspected to be James van Greunen. Failing to trace any key individuals or witnesses, researcher Michael Hesemann denounced it as 'a complete hoax'. Other researchers, though skeptical, held out hope to trace witnesses.

DINOSAURS! TODAY IN AFRICA?

In 1913, a German explorer reported stories of, what the natives called, "Mokele-mbembe," which he had heard while in the Congo. Hearing the reports, a few scientists noticed that the descriptions of the creatures made them sound much like sauropod dinosaurs. Sauropods were the giants of the dinosaurs world, averaging about 70 feet (21 meters) long and standing 12-15 feet (3.7 to 4.8 m) tall at the hips.

In 1932, a British scientist, exploring near the Likouala region where the creatures are said to live, came across some abnormally huge footprints. Later, when he went down one of the rivers in a canoe, he heard strange sounds, but did not see anything. Coincidentally, that same year the world famous zoologist and biologist, Ivan T. Sanderson, along with animal-trader Gerald Russel, were paddling up the Mainyu River in the heart of western Africa when, according to Sanderson's report:"The most terrifying sound I have ever heard, which sounded like an on-coming earthquake or an exploding, nearby robot, suddenly greeted us from a large underwater cave." While the water of the river was boiling and foaming directly in front of their canoe, a darkish, shining lizard-like head suddenly rose from the dark water. They described the head as nearly the size of the head of a fully grown hippo, which sat on a thick, swan-like neck. The enormous neck was turned towards the two men, and for just a few seconds, although it seemed like an eternity, the monster simply stared at Sanderson and Russel. Mr. Sanderson summed up his thoughts with these emphatic words: "I don't know what we saw, but the animal, the monster, burned itself into my retinas. It looked like something that ought to have been dead millions of years ago. As a scientist, I should have been happy, of course, but this encounter was so frightening, so nasty that I never want to see it again." A Brief Analysis of Dinosaurs sightings NAME: Mokele-mbembe is Lingala, and can mean a variety of things. The word is commonly defined as "One that stops the flow of rivers," but can also mean "one who eats the tops of palm trees, monstrous animal," or even "half-God, half-beast." Mokele-mbembe is also used as a generic term to refer to other animals like Emela-ntouka, Mbielu-mbielu-mbielu, and Nguma-monene.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Mokele-mbembe has been described as an animal with a long neck, a long tail, and rounded shape tracks with three claws. The closest known animal that has these characteristics is a sauropod dinosaur.

HABITAT: Mokele-mbembe lives in the pools and swamps adjacent to the rivers of the Likouala swamp region of The People's Republic of Congo on the continent of Africa. It is said to use the lakes as a crossing path to go from one river to another.

SIZE: The body size of each specimen is said to be somewhere between the size of a hippopotamus and an elephant. Its length is reportedly between 16 to 32 feet (5 to 10 meters). The length of the neck, according to various descriptions, is between 5 to 10 feet (1.6 to 3.3 meters). The length of the tail is somewhere between 5 to 10 feet as well, varying slightly.

APPENDAGES: Interestingly, there have been a few reports of a frill on the back of the head. The frill is said to be like the comb found on a male chicken (cock). There have also been reports of a small horn on its head.

COLOR: The color of the skin is predominately reddish-brown with a color range from gray to brown. There are no reports of hair on the animal. If there were, it would obviously contradict the reptilian dinosaur theory.

TRACKS: Tracks possess a significantly rounded shape between 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90 centimeters) in diameter with three claws. The distance between tracks is about 7 to 8 feet (2.1 to 2.4 meters).SOUND: The predominant belief is that Mokele-mbembe does not create any sounds, though there have been some conflicting reports. This is probably due to the fact that Mokele-mbembe is used generically for other animals and the sound is being confused with Emela-ntouka, a creature which makes a sound like a snort, howl, roar, rumble, or growl.

FOOD: The pygmies, natives of the Likouala Swamp region, report that the essential diet of Mokele-Mbembe consists primarily of the Malombo plant. Since it only eats plants, it is classified as an herbivore. The Malombo plant actually describes two plants: Landolphia mannii and Landolphia owariensis.

BEHAVIOR: Mokele-Mbembe lives underwater most of the time except when it eats or travels to other parts of the swamp. It has as been reported that it does not like hippopotamuses and will kill them on sight, though it does not eat them. According to the pygmies, Hippopotamuses cannot be found where Mokele-Mbembe lives. Here is some recently contributed information by David Woetzel (who has done expeditions in search of Mokele-mbembe):

1.) The older 20-45 ft long creatures live and mate in the Dja and maybe the Sangha rivers. These mature MM's (Mokele-mbembe) have very tough scales, like the back of a crocodile. Also like a croc, their underbelly is much softer. Their coloration is a dulled brownish gray.

2.) The younger creatures live in the Likouala swamp region. Their scales are softer and their colors are a more vivid reddish-brown. They're probably more skittish then their older counterparts.

3.) This sharp contrast in areas by age suggests a migration that only happens once in their lives (although the mother likely goes with its offspring to take them to the swamp).

4.) Their birth instincts are peculiar and vague. The native people say the MM gives birth to live young every 20 years. This is not a trait likely in reptiles, maybe the people their have it wrong because they are not able to find a nest site (some nests have been found) for how territorial these animals are they likely guard their nests very aggressively. They would likely kill anyone that gets close enough to see the eggs.

5.) No matter what, the mother's birth migration probably happens 1 of 2 ways. They either migrate to the swamp and lay eggs (or give birth) there, or they lay their eggs along the river and the mother and offspring go to the swamp together. I'm in favor of that idea because the nests are found along the rivers and the only time more than one MM ishttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif seen is when it is with its mother (according to the natives).

6.) The mother remains with her offspring for about a year (it may use this time to take the baby to the swamp and prepare it for life on its own)

7.) The adult male has a shorter neck but it also has a spiky back, and the female has a longer neck without the spikes.

8.) The young all have dermal ridges.


Engineered Nasa Microbes Could Build Bricks On Mars

Engineered Nasa Microbes Could Build Bricks On Mars
NASA is researching engineered microorganisms that may well aid in the design of structures on other worlds dearest Mars.

Dr. Lynn Rothschild (Credit: CarlLinnaeus / Wikimedia Eatery)

Dr. Lynn Rothschild kid about artificial biology at the BioDesign Seminar that took place on September 26 and 27 in Cambridge, UK. Rothschild, who is an evolutionary natural scientist and astrobiologist at NASA Ames Examine Headquarters, is involved in addition to NASA's new Pretend Biology Skill. TreeHugger.com reports that this force aims to organize microorganisms "that essence be able to feed on the material on the planet, such as the squander twisted by astronauts, and would join as a group the material on the planet's cessation indoors 'bricks.'"

"New Scientist" explains that the Pretend Biology Skill surround began in addition to a bacterium called Sporosarcina pasteurii "that breaks down urea - the persistence squander occupation in urine - and excretes ammonium." And this makes the aboriginal atmosphere "alkaline acceptable for calcium carbonate cements to form." By feeding off squander twisted by astronauts, the microorganisms would render bricks by cementing as a group uncleanness on a planet's cessation. The team's experiments show these microorganisms can render a house block as strong as workable in about two weeks.

"NewScientist" points out that, having the status of "microorganisms residue dear time, and would have up as soon as to no space on a spacecraft," they would deem a mixture of of the obstacles pronto faced taking into account bearing in mind apartment structures on alien worlds.

But Rothschild says it essence be decades past astronauts are loot microorganisms in addition to them on manned missions to Mars or everyplace else.

Human Response

Human Response
I've been reading an excellent book on the subject of extraterrestrial First Contact. "After Contact: The Human Response to Extraterrestrial Life" is written by Dr. Albert Harrison, a psychology professor from California. He has worked with the Contact organization for many years and taken part in the Cultures of the Imagination Conference at NASA Ames Research Center.

Dr. Harrison examines the extraterrestrial intelligence topic from a wide range of angles in the 1997 book. Most of his ideas address SETI based scenarios, which is logical since interception or reception of an electronic communication by active scientific search is the most likely form of First Contact. As a psychologist Harrison delves into human and societal reaction to First Contact in a way that most writers merely gloss over. He makes it clear that First Contact could have a profound impact on our civilization. But he also notes that the type of contact, and if that contact develops into an actual relationship through communication, will decide to what degree the discovery of ETI (extraterrestrial intelligence) has an impact here on Earth.

The human response, as related by Harrison, will have much to do with hardwired reactions, psychological programming and cultural conditioning. In determining what "they" are like we will use our own frame of reference, utilizing anthropomorphism to try and understand our visitors. I appreciate the emphasis Harrison places on first impressions. An unfavorable first impression would lead us to respond defensively. Harrison states that the media and in particular the news media would have a huge role in how the revelation of ETI is received by the public. This is especially true with a SETI based discovery.

But what of the extraterrestrials themselves? Harrison explores how they might approach humans. They could be cautious, either out of safety or some scientific reasoning. Under this scenario they would observe first and contact once they feel ready, if at all. They could of course use deceit. This is something I have called "Dirty Scenarios". The tough part of deciphering deceit with an extraterrestrial is that they will, in all likelihood, be very different from us. Deceit is something that is hard to predict even among people of the same culture here on Earth. How are we supposed to determine possible deceit with an alien being? Harrison seems to come down on the welcoming-caution side of the fence. Welcome our new neighbors openly, but be prepared in the background to respond to any threat. It would be foolish to trust any visiting civilization completely, especially in the first days and months after First Contact.

Human response will be determined by a number of psychological factors. Harrison says that threat, as a perception of danger, and stress as the demands place on the emotions and body, will be two immediate concerns. Coping is the reaction to these responses. The assembling of information, leading to problem solving and the preservation of freedom of action, will be essential for humans to cope with First Contact.

Threat, stress and coping would be factors in reaction to a SETI based discovery. They would be much greater factors in the response to a Direct First Contact event, such as the one I propose. The reason for this is immediacy. Direct First Contact brings with it an immediate threat. SETI based communication contact does not necessarily have that immediate nature.

Harrison examines news media coverage to discuss how the portrayal of aliens will play a major role in how they are received. This is important in SETI contact scenarios and perhaps more so for Direct First Contact. An extraterrestrial researcher would want to plan a Direct First Contact event very carefully to prevent a "fight or flight" reaction by humans. Harrison points to research by Carolyn Aldwin. She looked at human response to natural disasters, providing five characteristics which make them unique situations for research: there is little to no warning, a short time-line, involvement of many people, an extreme threat, and no control over the situation by an individual. These would certainly apply to a Direct First Contact event. Aldwin reports that people react in several ways. The first would be disbelief and expressions of the unreality of the situation. The second is to be dazed and confused. Even first responder (police and fire) judgment and reaction can be impaired. The next step is cooperation between people involved in the event. The final is disillusionment over the lack of government response to the disaster. This can certainly be seen after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

The key for me is the cooperative reaction phase. It would be important, in a First Contact situation, to move the public through reactions of unreality and confusion quickly. It is in the cooperative phase that a consensus could be built. First Contact must be planned is such a way that allows people join together in response to the revelation of ETI. People need to have an outlet and feel like they are taking charge of the situation. The best way to do this is to actively encourage the public to contact governmental leaders and ask them to support efforts to strengthen the United Nations and a strong science-based response. People will want to respond to this new challenge and human civilization will desperately need the help in putting together a unified, organized voice of welcome.

Soaring Over Titan Extraterrestrial Land Of Lakes

Soaring Over Titan Extraterrestrial Land Of Lakes
This colorized movie from NASA's Cassini mission takes viewers over the largest seas and lakes on Saturn's moon Titan. The movie is made from radar data received during multiple flyovers of Titan from 2004 to 2013. More:This colorized movie from NASA's Cassini mission shows the most complete view yet of Titan's northern land of lakes and seas. Saturn's moon Titan is the only world in our solar system other than Earth that has stable liquid on its surface. The liquid in Titan's lakes and seas is mostly methane and data were obtained by Cassini's radar instrument from 2004 to 2013. In this projection, the north pole is at the center. The view extends down to 50 degrees north latitude. In this color scheme, liquids appear blue and black depending on the way the radar bounced off the surface. Land areas appear yellow to white. A haze was added to simulate the Titan Mare, Titan's largest sea, is the body in black and blue that sprawls from just below and to the right of the north pole down to the bottom right. Ligeia Mare, Titan's second largest sea, is a nearly heart-shaped body to the left and above the north pole. Punga Mare is just below the north area above and to the left of the north pole is dotted with smaller lakes. Lakes in this area are about 30 miles (50 kilometers) across or of the bodies of liquid on Titan occur in the northern hemisphere. In fact nearly all the lakes and seas on Titan fall into a box covering about 600 by 1,100 miles (900 by 1,800 kilometers). Only 3 percent of the liquid at Titan falls outside of this are trying to identify the geologic processes that are creating large depressions capable of holding major seas in this limited area. A prime suspect is regional extension of the crust, which on Earth leads to the formation of faults creating alternating basins and roughly parallel mountain ranges. This process has shaped the Basin and Range province of the western United States, and during the period of cooler climate 13,000 years ago much of the present state of Nevada was flooded with Lake Lahontan, which (though smaller) bears a strong resemblance to the region of closely packed seas on Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.

Monumental Extraterrestrial Memes In Search Of Another Earth Is Disclosure Imminent

Monumental Extraterrestrial Memes In Search Of Another Earth Is Disclosure Imminent
MAY 10, 2013 - UNITED STATES - The recent discovery of three potentially life-supporting alien planets has caught the eye of Congress, which held a hearing about exoplanet discoveries on May 9 on Capitol Hill.

The space and research subcommittees of the U.S. House of Representatives' Science, Space and Technology Committee met at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) Thursday for a joint hearing titled "Exoplanet Discoveries: Have We Found Other Earths?"

The artist's concept depicts Kepler-62f, a super-Earth planet in the habitable zone of a star smaller and cooler than the sun, located about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. Image released April 18, 2013.

The proceedings was webcast live; you can follow the House exoplanet hearing here on SPACE.com.

The hearing's charter states that its main purpose was to review the April discovery of Kepler-62e, Kepler-62f and Kepler-69c, three "super-Earth" exoplanets that may be capable of supporting life as we know it. As their names suggest, all three were spotted by NASA's prolific Kepler space telescope.

The Rhoades Flying Saucer Photos

The Rhoades Flying Saucer Photos
We've dealt plus the William Rhoades UFO photo from July 7th, 1947 at this blog and inattentive nearer.

Anthony Bragalia has provided interpretation on the photo.

Hayden Hewes also evaluated the photos (two) in a "UFO Ascertain" article [October 1978, Layer 40 ff.], from which the image leader comes.

Impart are undeniable elements in the Rhoades story that action...

Primary submit is the date of the photos -- July 7th, 1947 -- the time approach of the Roswell incident. Rhoades took his photo(s) in Phoenix, Arizona anywhere he lived.

Men in Black, seemingly, visited Mr. Rhoades and apparently warned him about discussing the photos -- that "would be considered and act of espionage" they told him.

Air Ghost store guarantee that the military took the small business seriously, as AF store show [Show aggression 40, July 7, 1947, 1600 hours, Phoenix, Ariz] Mr. Hewes reports.

An hardship by John A. Clinton, for the Air Ghost, adjudicated the photos were faked.

But William Spaulding of Ring Saucer Watch disagreed, message that the Rhoades photos were bona fide, transmission a huge object (30/35 feet in diameter), about 4000 feet from Rhoade's [box] camera. The object had a light novelist, not a split in the center as at all saw it, and appeared pretend, plus venting holes on the spinal column side.

Kenneth Arnold reportedly believed, "On June 24th with I ready my observe of the nine flying disks, the close one from the bottom looked in words of one syllable rectify require the piture that [a Boss Davidson] drew [for Arnold of the Rhoades craft].

The photos were unavailable from him by two members of the intelligence communal Rhoades believed, and they were never returned or found, Rhoades attempting a legal action to recover them, which was never brought to fruition.

The Rhoades story and photos enchant at all ballet company and contributors offer, and I can see why; The date of the camera work, the men in black, the detrimental evaluations of truthfulness, the Arnold imply, and Rhoades credibility among other elements in this old subdivision.

Greater to come?
