WITBANK Twenty three lights moved steadily in the night-sky of Witbank, South Africa on Friday March 6, 2009 — and scores of residents in nearby Middelburg also saw them. They called in the police, who filmed the odd formation of lights on their cell phones. Mrs. Hetta Malan of Middelburg was one of the many residents who spotted the formation as moved steadily towards the nearby mining town of Witbank, she told the Afrikaans-language newspaper Beeld. Police inspectors Chris Gatzonis and Awie Labuschagne of the Middelburg police station even filmed the lights. The footage, shown on the Beeld newspaper website, can be seen here.

“We were on active duty and driving across the bridge at Aerorand in Middelburg. First we saw five orange lights, moving in formation going in the direction towards Witbank. Then the clouds moved in front of them and we lost sight of them,’ said Chris Gatzonis. This was the first time the lights were spotted. And last weekend, the two police officers saw similar lights again — this time they counted a pattern in formation of 23 lights, coming back from Witbank.
