Red Ball Of Flame Over Blouberg Beach Cape Town South Africa

Date: March 19, 2011

Time: 8:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Round and then box like.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Brian, I was lying on the couch when he said quickly, look at that outside. We both got up and stood on the balcony. About 2km in line with Robben Island we saw a ball of flame which at first seemed like a flare. The shape then changed to a lantern (box) like object which was very clear to see and you could almost see through it.

The object then moved very quickly in a northerly direction, towards Melkbos and the light remained red and very clear to see. It then disappeared from sight. This whole event was very clear and we had time to see what it looked like especially when it was lantern (box) like.

Throughout the whole time, no sound whatsoever came from the flying object which was very strange. We still cannot work out what it was, but looked it up on the internet and found your site.

Glowing Orange Ball Over Blouberg Beach Table View Cape Town South Africa

Date: March 5, 2011
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

Good Day Mr. Vike, my boyfriend and I were having a late night stroll on Blouberg Beach, Table View, Cape Town in South Africa at +-10pm on Saturday, 5 March 2011. The night was clear, cloudless and there was no moon present. We were taking advantage of admiring the stars as we seldom have a windless, clear evening during Cape Town’s wind-blown summers.

I noticed a round, glowing orange ball over the houses close to the beach. It was located low on the horizon, as if just above the roof-tops. I pointed it out to my boyfriend and asked him what he thought this was. I thought it was perhaps a helicopter or low-flying plane which we have over the Table View area from time to time due to an airbase being located +-10km away.

The orange ball then moved towards us and over our heads, there was no sound emitted by this object? Surely a plane or helicopter would make considerable noise. We watched it move directly across the sky in a westerly direction out to sea towards Robben Island. I received a call on my cellphone and lost track of the object. My boyfriend however reports that the object ascended and then promptly “blinked out” and disappeared.

My boyfriend reports that there were “lights” radiating out from the centre of the object and he is convinced it is a UFO. I am unsure as I cannot rationally explain the object we saw and it cannot be likened to anything such as a plane or helicopter.

I would like to know whether any other individuals residing in Table View, Cape Town have experienced this phenomenon and especially whether others observed this sighting on the night in question.

Can you please help?? It will be much appreciated.

Kind Regards.
