NUFORC UFO Sighting 106535
Occurred: 2014-01-21 20:15 LocalReported: 2014-01-21 10:59 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1
Location: Richards Bay (KwaZulu-Natal)(South Africa), YT, South Africa
Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby
Orb appears from cloud, disapears in plain sight and is "hunted" by helicopter.
A bright orb appeared from over a dense cloud and proceeded to move from SSW to NWW. I followed the "light" for about 20 seconds then ran into to house to get my flash light to signal it and see whether there would be any response.
When I went outside I could still see the orb very clearly and proceeded to flash the object with my flash light. I continued to flash the object for about 20 seconds then the orb's intensity decreased significantly for about 5-10 seconds and then vanished completely in plain sight. About 1 minute later I could hear a helicopter and to my astonishment the helicopter was following the same path/direction the orb did and continued on this path to exactly where the orb disappeared and did a u-turn and followed the same path back until it was out of view.
About 5 minutes later the helicopter returned and it flew around the area seemingly looking for something. This continued for about 10 minutes until it flew away again in the same but opposite direction where the orb appeared from originally.
