Booysens Sighting 2010. Pretoria - An unidentified flying
object (UFO), which apparently consisted of three bright lights, astounded
residents from Booysens in Pretoria for two consecutive nights for several
hours.
Engela van der Spuy, 67, who lived in Attie Street in
Booysens, contacted Beeld after she watched the strange set of lights on
Thursday night for the second consecutive night.
"I'm not saying it's green little space men," said
Van der Spuy. "We just really want to know what it is."
Van der Spuy for the first time saw the UFO on Wednesday
night shortly after sunset in the western sky.
"I couldn't make out the shape of the object because
the three lights were too bright, but it almost had a heart shape because there
were two lights on top, a blue light on the left and an emerald green light
directly next to it, on the right side, with a big bright white light
underneath it which shone straight down," she said.
According to her, the UFO hung in the air for two hours
without moving and then, at about 20:30, slowly started moving down, diagonally
to the left and still down, disappearing behind the horizon.
On Thursday night, the UFO again appeared shortly after
sunset and at 20:30 again started moving down before disappearing.
"I called all the neighbours and we looked at it
together, but no one could figure out what it could be. All we knew, was that
it definitely was not a star or a normal plane."
Henrico Swart, 19, Van der Spuy's neighbour, who looked at
the UFO through binoculars, was dumbfounded.
"It has to have a very strange shape, because even
through the binoculars I couldn't make out the shape," said Swart.
"All you could see, were three bright lights."
On enquiry, spokespeople from the Hercules police station,
the Johannesburg Planetarium and the South African Air Force had no knowledge
of the incident and were unable to explain the phenomenon.
