March 6th 2004

Original Sighting Report:

Name: Marek

Location: Riviera Pretoria Gauteng RSA

Date: 03/06/04 11:44pm GMT +2 (local time)

Approach Direction: South

Departure Direction: East

Witness Direction: North

Description: Friend and I were sitting chatting in our lounge - looking outside northwards - and I pointed out what I thought was a flare - it grew brighter but remained motionless, without the usual flare's downward path. It was yellow / white colour.

It then rapidly faded - and moved off to the east in a perfectly straight line - we lost sight of it as it moved behind the mountains.

Color/Shape: Like a flare - bright white then yellow. Round. Brightness faded too quickly for a flare.

Height & Speed: Motionless when noticed - then moved off maybe 1200Km/h by distance estimate

Follow-up by Brian Vike:

Hello there Brian,

Sorry for the late reply - a very busy day!

ok - as folllows:

One other witness - Sonica S****** - I mailed her your reply! I'm sure she will mail you - but she doesn't check mail too often - so patience.

As mentioned - it first looked like a flare - but just kept getting brighter. This was nothing like a plane or even search light from a opter - which we often see from our house up on a hill.

It was not moving -that's the first pointer to it being an oddity. perspective change was not there - it was still. When it started fading - it too was still - no change in position.

There was no sound - no motor or rotor noise! We would've heard it if it were a plane or copter.

This lasted for maybe two minutes? Not sure - we only caught on to it being out of the ordinary when it started moving. It didn;t appear to accelerate at all - just moved away at a uniform pace and dissapeared behind a hill.

no trail whatsoever!
It was low - no more than about 100m - judged by using the hills as reference.
It was over cast - low clouds.

I couldn;t get a number for air traffic control - so I don;t know - but this is in the middle of Pretoria - central - !
Not aware of any others witnessing this.

That's about it!

If I learn more - I will inform you.
Please let me know if you learn anything?

The Unidentified & Creatures of the Outer Edge - Jerome Clark & Loren Coleman Back in print for the first time in decades! The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge, the classic early works of Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman, now in a special double edition with a new introduction by the authors. The Unidentified finds the links that connect supernatural folklore, religious visions, cryptozoology, and modern-day UFO stories. It documents episodes from the fringes of human experience and exposes what they may tell us about ourselves and the strange world we live in, where things – whether fairies, ghosts, divine apparitions, or ostensible extraterrestrials – may be even more mysterious than they seem. Creatures of the Outer Edge surveys the cryptozoologically bountiful decade of the 1970s (and more) with accounts of Mothman, Owlmen, Thunderbirds, Phantom Panthers, Devil Dogs, Texas Big Birds, and, yes, of course, Bigfoot. Some of the individually 'named' local Bigfoot creatures first appeared in this book, including Momo (Missouri Monster), Lake Worth Monster, Murphysboro Mud Monster, the Enfield Thing, El Reno Chicken Man, Noxie Monster, Navajo's Skinwalkers, and Yukon's Bushman. The book also introduced the now-iconic Dover Demon for the first time to the general public. In Association with Amazon.com
