A report out of Pretoria, South Africa states that a UFO was sighted at Lephalale and a witness said it crashed.
Leonie Ras, administrative manager of Lephalale (Ellisras) was at her daughter’s farm on Saturday morning lying in bed reading when she heard a noise like “an Airbus aircraft firing up its motors. It was raining but there was no thunder or lightning. The noise grew louder and eventually it sounded like a million turbines screaming in unison."
Ras said the looked out the bedroom window and saw the clouds turning a bright orange-red color.
"Suddenly, a bright object plunged from the clouds to the earth at a terrible speed and hit the ground with an almighty bang. It looked like Haley's comet, round in the front and with an orange-red tail following behind."
When the object hit the ground, the low-lying clouds turned orange.
"It was so exceptional that I started crying. I wished my children and grandchildren could have seen it. I had not been drinking and I was in full control of my faculties," she said.
Ras calculated that the object must have hit the ground near Beauty, between the Tambotie and Palele rivers. Her son-in-law, Cobus Nel, her son-in-law was asleep at the time, but woke up from the commotion.
"I woke up to a terrible rumbling, followed by a sound like an explosion. I woke my wife up, so that she could also listen, because the rumbling lasted more than a minute, becoming louder. Then we heard the bang," Nel said.
Apparently, no local fire service, police or disaster control centers raced to the scene and Ras is concerned about that.
"I want someone to go and have a look. The farms here are big and it could have fallen somewhere where the farmer doesn't even know about it," she said.
