Full Description & Details

I was living in South Africa then. Me, my brother, and his two kids 6 and 15 years old were sitting on the tarrace of our house in the holiday resort when we were spending vacation. The terrace was overlooking Indian Ocean and we were watching amazing atmospheric phenomena, it was very spectacular thunderstorm of enormous proportions. The whole horizon over Indian Ocean in front of us was being iluminated from left to the right by thunder lightings that seemed to jump from one side to the other. We were fascinated by this spectacle and were talking about it with my bro, speculating on how far from us it had been happening. I should add, that we were not sitting in the middle of this storm, we were actually watching it on the horizon and the skies over us were clear and full of stars, and it was so far, that we could not hear any sound of these thunders. The only sound we could hear was coming from the beach, and was made by big brakers. That's why it was so amazing.

And then my brother shouted - hey, look here, what is it? And I saw it in the very same instance - big, silvery, greish machine flying from South to North along the beach. In two, maybe three seconds she was above us. It was as big as Jumbo jet flying one, maybe two hundred meters above your head. We could see it very clearly, it looked like triangular wing, with oval dimmed lights along the edges. I saw something like strange construction features on its body and I knew immediately it was not an airplane. It did not make even slightiest sound, it moved fairly quickly to the North and disapeared behind the hiill. The whole event last for 10 sec at the most, she made very short arc and disappeared as quickly as she came. Judging from the perceived size of the object and the length of the arc she made ,i would say she could fly at the speed of say 200km/hour, like the landing craft. We were talking about this all the time, but this was not the end of the spectacle. After the strange craft disapeared, we kept on looking into the sky, and after 1 -1.5 hours we spotted three lights in a triangle formation high in the sky. They were moving pretty fast, quickier then most satelites do. then all the lights together took a sharp turn, made like half loop, rapidly accelerated, got together, and disappeared. It was like watching SF movies, and space ships going into hyperspace! I know it sounds unbelievable, but it all happened to me on this strange night on the Indian Ocean.

I stil have my diary in which I made a note about this event, and even made a sketch of it. If someone is interested, I can send a scan. I was living in South Africa for almost 14 years, skies are beautifull in this country, clear and stars are bright. As a hobbist I have a great interst in astronomy and related subjects and I watched the stars frequently. During that time I have encountered three sightings of UFO, out of which the one I described above was the most spectacular. I used to be sceptical about EL, but not anymore, I know my truth. And the only thing that may change my believe is, if in next ten years or so, we all find out about kind of new propulsion system which is completely noiseless and was in prototype phase from early nineties. I n other words, I will have to see what I saw then, to be convinced that what I saw, was not what I think it was.
