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.

The UK Sun reports, “THIS is the amazing image which could show the fabled sunken city of Atlantis.” It shows a perfect rectangle the size of Wales lying on the bed of the Atlantic Ocean nearly 3½ miles down. A host of criss-crossing lines, looking like a map of a vast metropolis, are enclosed by the boundary.

They seem too vast and organized to be caused naturally. And last night the possibility of an extraordinary discovery had oceanographers and geophysicists captivated. The site lies 620 miles off the west coast of Africa near the Canary Islands — a location for Atlantis seemingly suggested by the ancient philosopher Plato.
He believed it was an island civilization sunk by an earthquake and floods around 9,700BC — nearly 12,000 years ago. The “grid” showed up on Google Ocean, a Google Earth extension that uses a combination of satellite images and marine surveys.
Last night Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical archaeology at New York State University — and one of the world’s leading authorities on Atlantis — called it “fascinating”. He said: “The site is one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis, as described by Plato. Even if it turns out to be geographical, this definitely deserves a closer look.”
The legend of Atlantis has captured the imagination of scholars for centuries.
And in the 1970s it spawned a hit TV series, Man From Atlantis, in which Patrick Duffy played a webbed hero who could live underwater. Thanks to Virginia Wheeler and Rhodri Phillips
