No of observers: 1

Location: Pretoria (South Africa), , South Africa

Shape: Light

The light was dimming and brightening for about four times and then disappeared.

On Wednesday 27 July, 2011, at 17H40 while driving home from work I saw a bright light, at first I thought that it was the sunlight reflecting from an airplane. Then I noticed that the light was slowly dimming and brightening,

I asked the passenger to look at the object and tell me what it was. Her reply was that it did not look or moves like any conventional aircraft.

We both watched the light dimming and brightening another three times and then it just disappeared. This area also has a high concentration of conventional and commercial aircraft activity, but what we saw was not any of these.

It was difficult to estimate the distance and height as I was driving down a steep downhill road.
