Hello, I just read the December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2012 posts from Australia, the UK, and Fourways Johannesburg. What a pleasure to have confirmation from others of the sightings of multiple bright orange lights that my wife and I saw last night between 8:40 p.m. December 31, 2011 and 12:45 am January 1, 2012 in Camps Bay, a suburb of Cape Town where we live.
We have seen these bright orange lights several times before over the past few years, but this is the first time I've visited your site to seek confirmation that we are not alone in seeing these UFOs. We were at a restaurant last night, December 31, 2011 located near the Camps Bay beach when at 8:45 p.m. my wife and I saw a bright orange light slowly passing above the beach at maybe 1,000 feet.
Then it quickly moved in a northerly direction up the coast and disappeared. It wasn't a flare, and fireworks hadn't yet started. No one else in the restaurant seemed interested. When my wife and I returned home, our house is located high up the hill in Camps Bay with sweeping views of the sea north and south, we sat on our veranda to watch the fireworks, and hopefully see the orange lights again appear.
We weren't disappointed. At 12:01, January 1, 2012 we saw another bright orange object to the north of us, just to the left of the top of Signal Hill in the direction of Cape Town's northern suburbs, which are probably 20 miles up the coast from Camps Bay.
The bright orange reddish object appeared out of nowhere and then became very bright and headed south towards Camps Bay. It was at an altitude of 3,000 to 5,000 feet. The sky was clear and filled with stars and there was perfect viewing.
I had my binoculars with me and got a clear view of this object high in the sky, and it was emitting bright orange reddish flames (similar to the flames you would see from the tail of a rocket blasting off from Cape Canaveral in Florida) and seemed to have a jelly fish halo like glow around it.
It soon turned and quickly headed north again at great speed until we could not see it anymore. Then about 45 minutes later, at 12:45 am on January 1, 2012, three more of these bright orange lights appeared in the sky just to the south of Camps Bay, and maybe two miles from the coast over the sea (there were ships passing way out on the horizon with their lights on which gave us perspective as to how close the orange object were to the coast) each one stacked above the other, with considerable distance in between them.
With my binoculars, I looked at each of these objects and all three had the same signature of the one I described earlier, bright orange reddish flames with a jelly fish (man of war) halo like glow around them. They hovered in the sky for about a minute and then quickly headed south east towards the horizon, and soon looked liked tiny far away stars until they disappeared. What a beautiful experience, and a great way to start the New Year.
On April 9th 2011 about 9:20 pm my wife, my mother- in - law and I were driving north from Camps Bay on High Level Road towards Fresnaye, and just as we rounded the corner by Ellerman House, above us to our right, and just to the left of Signal Hill, at about 700 feet altitude, my wife, who was next to me in the front seat, and I saw a very big bright orange object that was shaped like a giant coke can maybe 70 yards long, moving slowly in the sky above us. It was incredible.
We stopped the car and opened the back car door for my mother-in-law to get out and all three of us watched this bright orange object pick up pace and then at super quick speed race off into the sky above us, where it soon became a tiny dot in the sky and disappeared. Several cars passed us headed in the opposite direction towards Camps Bay and we pointed towards this incredible sight in the sky but no one bothered to stop.
Also, about three years ago in February, 2009, my wife and I were sitting on our veranda in Camps Bay and about sunset (7:00 p.m.), when the first stars show up in the sky, we saw the same bright orange light described in our sightings of December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2012, moving at fast speed from the distant horizon on the sea directly towards Camps Bay at less than 2,000 feet altitude.
As it approached Camps Bay beach, maybe a mile away, it then started to gain altitude and quickly darted north at fast speed, and remained very bright and visible, and then a second bright orange object appeared on the horizon and it followed the same path as the first towards Camps Bay beach and also a mile out darted off north to follow the first bright orange object, and then incredibly a third bright orange object followed in the same direction towards Camps Bay beach and then darted north in the same flight path as the first two.
All three of the bright orange objects could be seen heading north, one behind the other, until they disappeared. Wow!
