Incident date:

Location:

Баллито

South Africa

My wife and I were sitting on the beach around 21:00. I saw a quick flash near the constellation of Orion. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

Then another flash, and my wife saw it, too. This one was closer to the constellation of the bull. Then another quick flash, this time near the Scorpion. All frequent single flashes. Like an alarm system. Very strange, but very exciting.

This will make me a permanent star watcher. I'm sorry I don't have a video recording. It was too fast.

Summary: Me and my wife was sitting on the beach at around 21:00 hours. I saw a quick flash close to the constellation of Orion. I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me. Then another flash and my wife saw it too. This one was closer to the bull constellation. Then another quick flash this time close to scorpio. All quick singular flashes. As if signalling. Very weird but also very exciting. This is going to make me a regular star gazer. Sorry not to have video footage. It was too quick.
