Lephalale, AFRICA - Mystery still surrounds the UFO that reportedly crashed somewhere in the Lephalale (Ellisras) region on Monday.
On Tuesday, it was reported that Leonie Ras, the administrative manager of Lephalale saw a strange object fall to the ground at about 04:33 on her daughter's farm east of the town.
She was lying in bed checking her SMS messages when she heard a noise "like an Airbus aircraft firing up its motors".
There was no thunder or lightning and the noise grew louder, eventually sounding like a million turbines screaming in unison, said Ras.
She walked to the bedroom window and saw the clouds taking on a bright orange-red colour.
She described the object as a bright object that "plunged from the clouds to the earth, at a terrible speed, and hit the ground with an almighty bang."
