SAUFOR - Freelance investigator, Night Stalker shares his research into UFO sightings in South Africa Home
The Night Stalker's Report on 11 August 2003
The following is a list of incidents that I have come across while
Researching South African UFO Experiences and discussing SAUFOR with
others during my travels. The people are real, the incidents are real, and
while the individuals concerned are not all that keen on having their
personal details splashed all over the internet in this context.
A few South African Incidents.
The stone in the sky.
Two brothers and some friends were lying on the lawn of their home in
Pretoria after having played a bit of ball in the back yard. As they were
lying on their backs looking at the sky, what looked like a huge rock flew
Overhead on a straight-line trajectory. As it approached, it flew directly
overhead and they saw that it was in fact not a rock, but a craft. The
Brown colour was in fact due to rust streaks on the outer hull. It
continued overhead and then passed on over the horizon. It was not
Aerodynamically shaped nor did it have any wings nor did it conform to any
Known form of craft. I have known these guys for a number of years now and
I would personally vouch for their credibility. I would have taken the
word of any one of them, but there were a number of eyewitnesses to this
event which makes it even more credible. I have asked them if they would
be willing to be interviewed and have said yes.
Long and cylindrical with portholes
I have a very good friend who used to live in Cape Town. He now works in
Joburg. He was witness to a long cylindrical object that floated slowly
overhead. Not recognizing it as any known type of aircraft, he climbed up
onto the roof of his house to watch the UFO. He attracted the attention of
his neighbour. Two of the neighbour's kids in turn called their friends from
across the road. Around 20 people witnessed the UFO. There are
photographs of this object, for which there is yet to be an explanation.
May 2001. Hartbeespoortdam.
In May 2001, at the time of the planetary alignment, a UFO was spotted
over Hartbeespoortdam. There was an article on it in the local newspaper.
A so called expert dismissed it as an optical illusion caused by the
Planetary alignment at that time. Funny thing is, there were several
independent witnesses, and this incident took place at around 4 in the
afternoon. There is no known way that the light of any planet could be
visible in broad daylight, let alone move across the sky. (It has been
known for Venus to be visible in the sky during daylight hours but that is
only under very specific conditions.) During the planetary alignment
however, if the sun and the planets were in a straight line, none of the
inner planets would be visible in the direct glare of the sun.
I too, have on three occasions seen these phenomena, here where I live
Hartbeespoortdam.
Once I was alone. I watched it, it was unusual, and moving slowly away, I
got in my car and headed off down the road after it. But it out
accelerated my vehicle, and disappeared into the mountains at a low
altitude.
Once, around 01h00, I heard the dogs barking and went outside to see what
the commotion was all about. I saw this craft (ball of light) motionless
in the air above the Pelindaba nuclear research facility. I watched it for
about ten minutes then went inside and woke up my mom, and asked her to
come outside and verify. She commented that it was brighter than the house
on the hill - On the farm next door (about a 0.5 KM away). After a while,
we went back inside to make some coffee, when we came back out again ...
it was gone. It was there for about an hour.
The most recent sighting by myself was about three months ago. Some
friends and I were stargazing. They have a telescope and some evenings we
sit on the veranda and have dinner while we point the telescope at
different planets and stars for their kids (and us) to look at. This
particular evening, there were 5 adults (myself included) and three
children (8-14) on the veranda having dinner. It was late dusk, and not
yet pitch black. We were all looking at the sky, searching for a new
target for the telescope, when to the north, we saw what we thought was a
shooting star. It was however really bright. and it burned for about 20
seconds, then went off. Twenty seconds later it went back on again, and
then twenty seconds later off again. This continued for about 10 - 12 on -
off cycles, as the light descended vertically through the atmosphere and
disappeared behind some mountains about 10 Km to the north of us. We were
all equally awestruck, and had no explanation as to what it could possibly
be. From my own personal perspective, It would be entirely consistent with
a craft firing a retro rocket to slow its descent through the atmosphere.
There is nothing else that I could think of that would follow that kind of
a trajectory or illumination pattern.
Pretoria.
A while back, I had a meeting with a very interesting individual. He has
asked me not to advertise his name in conjunction with this story but has
said that he would be quite happy to give a personal account to any
serious researcher.
In about the mid eighties he was travelling through the Karoo when he
noticed an unusual craft in the distance off to the side of the road. He
stopped and watched it disappears over the eastern horizon. It was one of
those ... 'yes-kool-but-who-would-believe-me-stories'
A few years went by and he overheard the discussion of a truck driver
mentioning something similar. The truck driver gave a more exact location
where he had seen a craft emerge from between two koppies. The Driver had
approached a T intersection where he had stopped to check for approaching
traffic. Directly ahead he had seen the craft emerge from between two
hills and hover over the veldt about a kilometre in front of him. There
were no other vehicles, so the driver pulled away and turned left towards
Beaufort West. The craft started moving, keeping pace with the truck but
following an intersecting vector. The driver continued along the road
until the craft was about 100 meters away. The driver then decided to stop
and take a better look at the craft. He also felt that if they both
continued on their current paths, the two would eventually meet.
The craft approached to within about 50 meters, it illuminated the truck
with an intense light , circled it and streaked away vertically into the
night sky. The truck driver could not relate the craft to any known form
of aircraft.
This friend of mine then decided to investigate the incident for himself.
He took his video camera, got in his bakkie and headed of for the Karoo.
He spent two weeks camping out at the place described by the trucker. I
watched the videotape. He hiked through the koppies and hills and took
panoramic shots of the area. It is about the most inhospitable desert
mountain terrain that I have ever seen. There is but nothing there. No
Farmhouses or settlements. Just gorges and cliffs and very very rocky
terrain. (From my own personal point of view ... I have seen many types of
terrain, but this was very extreme, in the harshness of the terrain.)
He found a dirt track, which led up into the mountains. He hiked back to
his bakkie and the next day he followed this track to see where it went.
There were no signs and no gates. Eventually the track stopped between the
mountains. There was no destination, nothing there. The track just
stopped. He decided to camp there that night.
It was after dusk when he saw the craft. He picked up his camera and
started filming. The craft approached. In the video footage you see the
approaching light. It is dark, and basically you are looking at a light in
the night sky. It is a shaky image. One could dismiss it as maybe footage
of an oncoming cars headlights. Then, it did something I have never seen
before. The light divided, three other lights detached from it, and
streaked away into the distance. And, I cannot relate to any flying craft
that has ever done that.
He says that at that point, he started getting a bit worried, so he
stopped filming and ran back to his pickup. He started it and headed back
down the track. The craft pursued him, keeping track with him. He tried to
tape it. The videotape becomes a bit chaotic at this point. There is the
sound of the pickup racing down a dirt road, you can hear the motor and
the clatter of stones and occasional flashes of light. He says he left the
camera running on the seat next to him, but he was scared out of his wits
and was more interested in getting the hell out of there and not driving
of the edge of a mountain than in taking footage of what it was that was
chasing him.
Like I said, I watched the tape with him several times, and I tried to
decide for myself if this was a hoax or not. He was in the area as
described. The road does exist, there were unusual lights in the sky
around him, and he did drive down that road with a speed. He is adamant
that it did happen. I sat in his home, his wife and kids were there. And,
the way he tells it, with his wife sitting there, I had a tendency to
believe him.
I listened to his story. I asked him who he thought they were. He said
that they were an alien race that occupied subterranean bases around the
planet.
It was the only logical conclusion he could make. He had hiked that area
for two weeks and there was definitely nothing on the surface. That craft
that split up and chased him down the mountain had to come from somewhere
... The only logical conclusion was that it had to be from an underground
base.
He showed me piles of material that he had researched on beings that could
possibly fit that description. What they looked like ... he could only
guess from the reports of others. He had seen enough to definitively
satisfy his own personal curiosity for once and for all. He felt that he
had been warned off, and he was not going back there again ... ever.
And here's the rub, from the way he narrated his experiences ... I wasn't
so sure if I wanted to go and check out that road in the mountain at night
... at least not alone anyway.
These are stories of a personal nature, and I can guarantee you that, from
my own perspective, they are absolutely truthful. As far as my friends are
concerned, I can vouch for them, but you are most welcome to come and chat
to them yourself and make up your own mind, and all have assured me that
their accounts (myself included) will stand up to a polygraph.
I am going to re-interview the above individuals and add more details as
time goes by. I think, that from a consistency point of view, I will re
interview these people after a year. If they are bona fide then the story
shouldn't change over the course of a year.
Cheers for now
Keep looking at the sky

Following is another report from our friend about interesting research
relating 2 the planet Mars, that we have been delving in2 over the last 2
years or so... see the website that i had 2 put up anonymously due 2 the
"sensitivity" of the info ---> http://www.geocities.com/anomaly502/
Here a follow up on the Mars Pix
The Mystery of Anomaly 502.
by Nights talker.
Greetings fellow surfers. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the
Night Stalker. I am a surfer, programmer, self-confessed hacker (white hat
of course) and I like to explore. I am also a freelance investigator for
SAUFOR and like to research unusual things. And for now, that is all you
are going to know about me.
Rather, let me get on with the subject of this article.
It was about two years ago that an acquaintance of mine and I were chatting
online. It was in the context of trying to resolve whether or not we are
alone in the universe. Could we definitively resolve the question? We
chatted about this and that and then the discussion turned to the red
plane, Mars! What was the buzz on the face of Mars, what about the
pyramid. Were they natural or were they created by some artificial entity.
Well, as we chatted online, he made a fantastic claim. There was not just
the face, there was other far more compelling evidence of another
civilisation that had been on Mars. Whether it was a Martian species or an
outpost of some other entity that had visited Mars could not be determined
at that time but, there was evidence of something that had not been
created by nature. There was a structure of a complexity that could not
possibly be created by natural forces as we understand them.
Not only was there this group of structures, but also there was detailed
photographic evidence of its existence. Yeah, right. Send it to me, and
I'll take a look for myself. So, he did just that. The sequence of images
showed pix of something that was not created by Mother Nature, because she
don't work in straight lines..
I forwarded these images to my friend CRiSTo who runs SAUFOR and asked him
to post the images on his site. I also asked him to ask around and see if
he could pick up any info on this entity that had been named ANOMALY 502.
CRiSTo, myself and others carried out extensive web searches to see if we
could find any reference to this entity and, apart from some dead ends
ending up in some obscure URL's, there was nothing. I have looked at those
images from time to time and have wondered what to make of them.
It is some two years that have passed and then, last month, I was chatting
to a friend and the subject once again turned to the issue of life on
Mars. Once again I looked over the images, and once again, I set off in
search of an answer. If it did exist in cyberspace, then, I would find it.
And, lo and behold, this time, I found something very curious. So, for you
conspiracy buffs, here is something that I am going to propose, not as
truth, not as fact, but as a conspiracy with a number of very interesting
aspects.
Have a read, and when you are finished, you decide for yourself.
In about May 2001, a sequence of images surfaced depicting a structure on
the surface of Mars. Exact location undisclosed. The images were marked
with certain text, depicting the sequence and date. It also referred to an
entity called IEC and a date marker in the document/project reference
referring to the year 1998.
Logically this would date the images as circa 1998. Well logic says that if
a satellite took a photo of an anomaly on Mars in 1998, well then it
stands to reason that it must have been launched in about 1997. I didn't
expect to find anything, but to my total surprise, I discovered that there
was a 'qualification' launch of an Arianne rocket designated as --- wait
for it --- A 502.
In fact A 502 was launched in July 1997. And, as I researched the A 502
launch, more and more curious aspects surrounding this launch vehicle came
to light. Allow me to tell you about them.
The launch payload was put together by ESTEC, an Informatics division of
ESA. Could the ESTEC project have been designated as IEC ?
It was put together in a record time of just seven months, under great
pressure.
The A 502 launch vehicle carried three payloads. One was the ESTEC
project, MAQSAT and one was a dummy.
No charges were levied for the launch.
Now, I like to read between the lines, and some may accuse me of reading
too much between the lines but, if this is just a simple little student
launch being sponsored by some benevolent 'big brother', for an
experimental earth orbit satellite; Why then does the front page of the
official website of this mission feature a picture of Earth and Mars?
Check it out for yourself at http://www.estec.esa.nl/teamsat/
So, a launcher, put together in record time, with no charge to anyone,
with a whole lot of parts donated by other agencies, that uses technicians
and scientists called back out of retirement, with the ability to achieve
escape velocity, is launched in October of 1997 on a launcher designated
as A 502. It is carrying an impressive array of imaging systems, ia.
Autonomous Vision System (AVS) , Visual Telemetry System (VTS), and Flux
Probe Experiment (FIPEX) - And while FIPEX may be used to measure the
density of hydrogen atoms in outer space - YEAH RIGHT! - in my
understanding, Flux sensors are primarily used to sense Energy field
strengths, and, as I said before, the official website features a pix of
Earth, the 'Satellite' and Mars.
And - oh yes of course - a payload designated as a 'dummy' unit. Why
launch a dummy satellite when there are so many fledgling agencies who
would love to put a live payload on an experimental launch.
Then, A year later, an impressive sequence of images comes back. Pictures
of structure on the surface of Mars, with a group of structures that must
have been created by some kind of intelligence. A sequence of images
designated as Anomaly 502 - Is it too great a leap of imagination to think
that the designation 502 refers to the launcher, and not to the possibility
that there are 501 other anomalies on Mars.
(Must admit the 502 had me going for a while, I was trying to figure out
the significance of the 502, because it was definitely relevant.)
Three years later these images 'leak' out. As I said before, we searched
the net extensively two years ago when these images came our way for any
combination of MARS ANOMALY 502 IEC etc, etc, etc and we found nothing -
nada - zilch! Now, year's later, little hints are starting to leak out here
and there. You, go ahead, start doing your own web search - and see what
you come up with.
So, boys and girls, let me lay it out for you in plain English.
Do you remember about five years ago when everyone was all in wonder at
the discovery of the face on the surface of Mars. Well, they found more,
much more and A502 was a rush mission to Mars to get a better set of
images using every possible type of imaging system possible.
Methinks that dummy, whose actual owners paid for the launch, went
straight on to Mars, took a whole lot of enhanced images of an entity
designated Anomaly 502, sent them back home, then landed there - then took
some more images - and sent them home too. Why do I say that ? Because my
friends, I was told so by my acquaintance, and he sent me some pix to prove
it.
Ever heard of plausible deniability? According to the public stuff, every
significant space agency contributed to this baby in one-way or another,
Nasa - Nothing. The most important aspect of the mission, The Visual
Telemetry System, was supplied by the Brits. So, how come the British
(who have never launched a rocket of their own) contribute the key
component of the mission. Wonder who told them how to put it together ?
Nasa ? No never.
Now, I am not going to claim this as fact, it is just a theory, but, you
sit up and look around and decide for yourself how much substance there is
in this little conspiracy theory of mine. You go and read all about the A
502 mission, and look at the facts in the context that I have outlined
above.
Cheers for now
Your friend
The Night stalker
