1 – Why did the fuel leave concentric rings if this rocket was moving forward?

2 – Why did the big centre light dissolve into 6 or 7 smaller rotating lights?

3 – Why did the rings always only start spreading some distance from the centre, and never from the actual centre?

4 – Why jettison fuel that can contaminate the satellite?

5 – Why carry so much fuel?

6 – What is the environmental impact after dumping so much fuel?

7 – Why did the rocket not leave a trail, as ANY object leaving debris would?

8 – What exactly was the chemical make-up of the fuel that was dumped?

9 – How many people are willing to sign a petition for a FULL investigation?

Thank you all concerned! Many witnesses to this event are NOT ENTIRELY satisfied with the official story.. Thank you for sending in YOUR questions as well.. Cristo

The two links below explain all the evidence we have found to the sighting on Sunday evening. All things considered, this event is now an IFO (Identified Flying Object), however I would add that this does not exclude the possibility that something else was going on at the same time. Keep your eyes peeled on the skies and do not hesitate to report future sightings. XCiTiNG TiMeS!!! Cristo Louw, Founder of South Africa’s UFO Resource (SAUFOR)

The evidence has come in that the cause of the spectacular sighting in South Africa’s skies on Sunday night the 18th of October 2009, was indeed a rocket dumping fuel after the launch of a satellite in lower Earth orbit more than 800kms above the planet. I am putting together the information with photographs and will post it here later. BIG disappointment for us who saw it, nonetheless, it was still the MOST beautiful sighting i’ve ever had. Also, i want to add that this was a GREAT example to show that there are SOOO MANY South Africans who were watching the skies and hopefully more and more people will do so for when other real UFO sightings occur.

PRESS RELEASE – SAUFOR – 20091019

Last night, 18 October 2009, a strange and beautiful phenomenon was seen in the skies over South Africa. What is interesting to note is that witnesses from areas as wide apart as Cape Town and Johannesburg and many other areas, reported it around the same time, which was between 20:45 and 21:00.

As Founder of South Africa’s UFO Resource (SAUFOR) I have been researching UFO sightings since 1997, and was fortunate to have witnessed this sighting myself with 5 friends. Our location was at Scarborough, Cape Town and we had an excellent view of this phenomenon from when it was first seen rising over the horizon in the South. We observed it for about 10 minutes and had an exceptionally clear view, as there were no Moon and no clouds. At first we thought that it was the Pleiades star cluster, but then we noticed that there was definitely movement inside this “cloud”.. This movement included what appeared to be spiral-like arms moving outwards from the centre. As this phenomenon moved across the sky basically over our heads, we saw that there was a very bright white light in the centre, which dissolved into 6 or 7 smaller rotating lights, which then dissolved into what looked like rings or ripples, as if when throwing a stone into a pond.. This pattern repeated itself every 30-45 seconds with the concentric rings constantly expanding..

We were absolutely in awe of what we saw. I have never seen anything like this before. Judging by the physical distance between all the witnesses, this phenomenon had to be very high and very big to be seen simultaneously from so many varied areas. In fact, it is possible that whatever this was, may have been outside of Earth’s atmosphere.

It moved in a perfectly straight trajectory and at a constant speed, which makes me think that it was going all around our planet. Numerous witnesses, including myself, attempted to take photographs and video footage, but thus far none were successful.

The Johannesburg planetarium has been inundated with people reporting what they saw and their best explanation is that it was probably a satellite that exploded. I do not agree. We are collecting reports from as many individuals as possible and consider this one of the most significant UFO sightings in South Africa’s history. Thank you for keeping your eyes on the sky.

Namaste

Phenomenon observed in the night sky in Cape Town, South Africa by 5 friends and myself (Cristo Louw, Founder of South Africa’s UFO Resource – SAUFOR) at 20:50 last night (20091018) for about 10 minutes. Bright white light split into 6 or 7 rotating lights which dissolved into expanding rings or ripples.. Then bright light appeared in center and whole sequence repeated.. It had a satellite-like trajectory, from South to North, so im thinking it went all around Earth.. Investigation under way.. For any other witnesses to this phenomenon, please email me at cristo@saufor.com with your reports. Other witnesses in South Africa in the Northern Cape and Bloemfontein also reported thus far..
