Breaking: UFO or 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann

Personally, I do not think it is a "space rock". Witnesses state that it floated and bobbed about for a period of time. I cannot say I have ever seen a rock float, although I would guess volcanic rock may do so.

I can never get the "ATS Search" to work properly...

Anyway - The search have been called off for now, due to bad weather.

The search for an unidentified object which crashed into the sea at Port Shepstone on Saturday has been put on hold because of rough weather conditions, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said on Monday.

"The search was called off on Sunday and will only resume once the sea is calm. At the moment the sea is not conducive to diving," said NSRI Shelley Beach Station Commander Eddie Noyons.

They will find a way. I have no doubt about that.

Even if NASA finds something, do you think they will reveal it to the public? they will probably just say it was a weather ballon

NASA isn't looking for anything. It's the NSRI (National Sea Rescue Institute) that's looking. The rest of your post may still be valid though... Although the NSRI has nothing to do with the government. Still.

Sorry, my mistake. The governmnet will somehow get involve and you know...everything is going to go like usual; there going to say that they didn't find anything although they really did...


-Jimmy-

Just to keep you guys updated on whats happening...today FEMA is starting tsunami rescue training..how skecth is that folks?

what color is the comet

The so called search being called off is total crap,more than enough activity,there are eyes everywhere

People reckon it "could" be a fragment of a meteor ,which i am not denying,what i say is everyone who saw this object entering or crashing in the water says it was not small a size of a 8 seater was the smallest guess (meteor that size would have created quite a new view for the South Coasters),Port Shepstone High ,where alot of witnesses saw this is atleast 1.5km (bout 1 mile) from the beach.

This story will be written off & so handed over to more "experienced" people ,pics gotta hit surface ,people have learned from their mistakes..this is not a small issue in S.Africa ,in my 34+ years in S.Africa this country's media has never been glued to a "ufo" story as this one ,and trust me we have had quite a few ,and they have never been mentioned,this one was seen by way too many people..

The best to come from this will be a "Space Rock" ..nothing else (Space Rock Size of a tennis ball ,ridiculous excuses on the way)

maybe red ,brown or gold..if you believe the stories about the Annunaki.

A new story just came out that states that an eye witness claims that it is all just a tornado. Yes, this man says that your theories suck and that what he says is what happened. Let the debunking begin!!!

In My opinion it probably is a USO which are known to cause the whirlpool effect. The UFO activates a water sprout that helps it going in or out of the water.


I bet this is a USO, but you know what? We will NEVER know, because like so many other crashes, there is a lot of time waisting and BS going on. The US secret opps are probably all done with the recovery mission. And we have to wait till next weekend to start a search. What a joke!


See story here

Van Rensburg is an idiot ..typical Afrikaans (well i am afrikaans,not close minded) ,but you get "the" Afrikaners who always have an answer for everything and NEVER openminded.

As i said in my earlier post (page 1) +-500 people saw "something",people on the beach,people fishing, not one said it was a tornado/sprout,even the cop shop is gonna debunk this ,if it was a tornado it would have been filmed as a tornado/watersprout would have been there long enough for people to capture on vid or cam (1 HUGE REASON IS THAT TORNADOES ARE NOT COMMON IN S.AFRICA SO IT WILL BE AMAZING TO CAPTURE ONE ON FILM) ,Unless there was a WOTW trick going on and they are studying the "transporter tornado" first

Quote from NEWS24 (Marcel Roux = WHAT!!??) ..Three similar tornados were spotted at Ballito on Saturday.]Wow!! Close relatives of mine lives in Ballito ,my parents in the middle of Ballito & the "crash site..not one of my family has seen a tornado ..nevermind 3!!


Story already being turned & twisted ..please

Probably a grey color, as it's composed mainly of frozen gasses and water.

Actually small tornadoes have been quite common in South Africa recently, around 50 die per year in townships. I lived on the vaal river when i was in SA and saw two. My one friend had one destroy his garage and his pet cat named kite ran away or went flying, i can't remember if it ever returned. The day before that event he flipped off the heavens and said some things(he was upset about something) and well i thought it was funny what happened, almost as if it was a result of that behaviour.

I've lived in SA all my life - 26 years, and I'm yet to see a tornado. Yes tornados are not unknown, but I would say one a year would be freak occurrence. And when they do occur it's in the summer. It's now more or less winter here.

I doubt if anyone will be as stupid as to mistake a "tornado" for an aircraft.

Today's Beeld (local afrikaans newspaper) headline reads "So lyk KZN VVV" which basically translates to "this is what the Kwa-Zulu-Natal UFO looks like". I'm yet to get my hands on a newspaper. Couldn't find anything at www.beeld.com - their homepage.

Edit: Apologies to NinjaCodeMonkey for my lack of information. According to some weather experts "tornados" over the ocean is common in the winter. Thus my comment above may not be as accurate as I thought. Fact remains that I still need to see a tornado in South Africa - they are not that common.

Also my guess is that the article in the Beeld is a screenshot from the video.

Your logic there really just cracks me up. You're saying that they must not be common place since you've never seen one. Well, I've never seen one here in Michigan, but does that change the fact that we get about 16 a year? Nope!

Though if you find a link to the video, I'd really like to see it. I've seen enough videos of big chunks of rock entering the atmosphere that I can say fairly surely if it looks like that or not.

I think it would be pretty cool if some aliens finally showed their face in this world. Maybe Africa is the best place since they say humans started from there
