Three Bright Orange Lights Over Northcliff Area In Johannesburg South Africa

Date:  August 24, 2012
Time:  Evening.

Dear Brian, I read the sighting of the bright orange light spotted over Fourways in Johannesburg on 23 April 2012. On Saturday evening my parents, my son and myself spotted three very bright orange lights over the Northcliff Area in Johannesburg.

They appeared one after the other and moved at a very rapid speed.  We heard no sounds like an aircraft approaching.

What is even more fascinating is the fact the both myself and my mother took photographs of these lights, but after checking the photos, no lights appeared and all the photos showed were black night sky.

Any ideas what this could be?

Glowing Red/Orange Colored Objects And Another Disc Shaped UFO Seen Over Northcliff Johannesburg South Africa

 

Date:  March 20, 2012

Time:  10:45 p.m.

 

Number of witnesses: 2

Number of Objects: 5-6

Shape of Objects: Disc and Orb.

 

Full Description of Event/Sighting: At 10:45 p.m. I walked outside our house to have a cigarette and looked up to see at least 5 or 6 objects in a staggered formation in the sky. They were all at various altitudes ranging from very low to horizon (from my vantage point) to very high altitude.

 

They were glowing red to orange and each one was a different intensity and colour. I noticed them as they were maneuvering around quite vigorously in the sky. I immediately ran indoors to call my housemate to come look at what was in the sky.

 

We both then went out and witnessed each of the craft move slowly up into the sky and at high altitude seemed to disappear. By 11:00 p.m. the last of the objects faded out and we then thought they were gone. I tried to get picture and video on my cellphone, but the camera could barely make them out.

 

I then noticed my housemate had a much better camera with a really big lens on it. He said he got a few snaps of them. Then suddenly I noticed one of the craft coming directly over our heads at height of about a 1000 meters. It was glowing white, but in a very faint fashion.

 

It was clearly a disc-shaped craft and moving as fast as a helicopter would, but in complete silence. As it passed over, it appeared to have a smaller glowing orb (spherical shaped) craft come out of the centre of the disc and drop down and move away in a westerly direction.

 

The main (or bigger) craft continued at the same height in an south westerly direction. Again we managed to get some pictures before the object disappeared behind the trees. The formation of the craft where originally to the north of our position (Northcliff looking north towards Midrand area).

 

The disc with the smaller orb like craft where heading in the direction of Soweto, the smaller craft after detaching and moving in the same direction, then veered westward toward Roodepoort. Entire sighting lasted roughly 20 minutes.

 

There was no wind, conditions where clear and mild with no clouds. Venus was clearly visible directly northwest of where we first saw the formation of craft and its a new moon here tonight so that rules out astronomical objects entirely.

Red Lights Seen Over Two Nights At Northcliff Johannesburg South Africa (Additional Information: Update !)

 

Date:  November 2, 2011 and November 7, 2011

Time:  7:43 p.m. and Between 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. for November 7, 2011.

Hi Brian, On the 2nd November 2011, I was sitting outside on my balcony, when I stood up and looked behind me to see a steady red light in the sky.

The time was 7:43 p.m. The light was not moving, very still. I did not know what to think or even make of it.

My fiancé is a pilot, so I intended to take a picture with my cell phone, so I could show him. Before I could take photo, the light went off for about 2 seconds, then on again, then very quickly moved to the right and vanished. This light was slightly bigger than the brightest star I could see at the time. 

Then last night 7th November 2011. My fiancé and I were sitting on the balcony. Time was between 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Something caught me eye and I looked up and in exactly the same spot was the red light. My fiancé stood up to look with me.

This time the red light was flying very fast, it flew towards us, but at a very odd way and as before no sound at all. Just as it past the trees I saw the light go off and then on and then vanish.

I was able to take 3 photo's and a video. Although it can not be seen in the video, and it comes out like a star in the photo's.

As my fiancé is a pilot, he said planes can not fly the way this object flew, and to fly at that speed, it would have to be doing Mach 200.

I must admit we both felt creepy afterwards. Can you or someone please explain what we saw.

Best wishes.

Additional Information: Update !

Thank you for your reply. Since my email to you, I saw the red light 2 more times. On Wednesday 8th, November and the 10th November. After having family members living near by see Wednesday’s sighting.

I started thinking this was just too obvious. I was in luck on the Thursday. At 7:00 p.m. I saw the red light on the horizon, my fiance and I ran into the street to get a clearer view.

Some passing cars also saw it and stopped to watch. It was travelling rather fast. All of us taking pictures, getting either scared or excited that it was so clear and coming straight for us.

Then the wind suddenly pick up and it came tumbling down, to crash land right in front of us.

We all laughed with big relief when we realised that it was a Chinese lantern. 

It all made sense. Someone in our area has been sending lanterns into the sky every day. Hence it was always coming from the same direction and flying very oddly.

Sorry to have wasted your time. At least I now know exactly what it is. Best wishes.

Lights Over Northcliff Johannesburg South Africa

 

Date:  January 12, 2011

Time:  Approx: 7:00 p.m.

 

I was in Northcliff and saw the same event, which I have no possible way of explaining, what is really making me question my sanity I am sitting here watching the eclipse from Lonehill and have just seen 2 similar lights.

 

Moving southwest from my position. One moved off very quickly and the other moved off at a steady pace. Again I cannot explain the event.

 

Additional Information:

 

The good news is that half of Johannesburg has their eyes on the sky tonight, I can't be the only one who saw the lights?
