UFO over Maritzburg

(September 21, 2010) news24.com reported today that an unidentified flying object was sighted over Pietermaritzburg in South Africa. The UFO, described as having a "reddish tinge" and "5,000 times brighter than a star", has been seen for the past four weeks or so.

The UFO was also characterized as moving slowly across the sky. Witnesses and astronomers speculate that it might be a satellite or perhaps the planet Jupiter which will be at its closest proximity to the Earth today.
