UFO 'crashes' into KZN sea

Port Shepstone - The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is monitoring a mysterious situation on the KZN south coast.

"Numerous" eye-witnesses reported an unidentified flying object crashing into the sea on Saturday.

NSRI Shelley Beach station commander, Eddie Noyons, said eye-witnesses had reported an unidentified object - possibly an aircraft - crashing into the sea behind the breaker line off-shore of the Port Shepstone High School.

Police, rescue craft and a fixed wing aircraft were alerted to the scene to investigate.

Noyons said: "Following a full-scale search of the area covering 12 square nautical miles nothing has been found.

"There are no reports of activity in the area that may be related to this incident and there are no aircraft reported overdue or missing."

He said numerous eye-witnesses - including teachers and pupils attending a sports event at the high school, by-standers and local fishermen - were convinced they had seen an aircraft go into the water.

They said they saw smoke and described "water exploding".

Some also reported seeing flames.

Noyons said: "Some reported seeing something, an unidentified object, splash into the sea causing a ripple effect of waves."

Noyons said it was being presumed that weather activity in the area at the time might have given the impression of something falling into the sea.

" We will continue to monitor the situation, which remains a mystery," he said.

Hmm, what will be the cover story this time I wonder?

There are so many UFO reports, I just find them hard to believe.

 

[warpus]

UFO = unidentified falling object

doesn't imply aliens, just means we don't know what it was.

 

[Birdjaguar]

It was an Iranian nuclear test.

 

[MobBoss]

Hmmm, I wonder if the Iranians test fired any missiles lately.

@birdj: BAH!

 

[Birdjaguar]

Boy I'm glad my post was first.

 

[tomsnowman123]

It was an Iranian nuclear test.

It was a failed US invasion of South Africa.

Bush did worse than Carter. At least Jimmy's troops found land.

 

[Bluemofia]

It was a failed US invasion of South Africa.

Yes. And their reasoning is that they suspect that South Africa harbors Terrorists, and WMDs.

Completely foolproof reasoning in my book (read with loads of sarcasm).

Did it look like this?

 

[tombeef]

I swear on top of the UFO I saw Elvis!

People just want attention.

 

[pboily]

that's an awful lot of people to coordinate just for attention (if the original report is true...)

 

[silver 2039]

Which game is that?

 

[Captain Carnage]

UFO Enemy Unknown / X-Com

 

[bhsup]

Which game is that?

X-COM: Terror From The Deep

It was the sequal to X-COM: UFO Defense (UFO: Enemy Unknown in Europe), and would have been the greatest game of all time if Sid had never made Civ.

Next thing you know, animals will be going wild, an evil golden Oscar statue will be uncovered, a cult will begin painting everything blue, and a fat kid will have more money and political power than the President. Beware the alien invasion!

...well, I think it'd be neat if this turned into a first contact situation, but it's very unlikely. Probably some manmade object. Or possibly a small meteor or something.

Man, this game rocked!!
