Bloemfontein Sighting

Well my mates and I were on a hill at our military base in Tempe Bloemfontein. I looked to my west an saw this bright glowing object rising it was very very high up and it apeard as if the object was just glowing a bright orange. It went over head and went down in the East. Then a few seconds later it roase up in the West again and and it roase up untill it was right up above our heads and just stayed there for a few second the started to decend then stopped leveled off the it just shot of untill there was a long streak of light and then it was gone out of sight. My mates and I talked about it for days afterwards.

NUFORC Note:

Anonymous report. We do not understand how an object can disappear in the east, and then rise up again in the west. However, such an event might be explained by the presence of two objects. PD
