The Encounter

Simon Sets is a 56-year-old man from Cape Town, South Africa. He had a UFO sighting on January 1st last year while house-sitting for a friend. After watching fireworks, he noticed a circular, wireframe object moving quickly in the sky, followed by a triangular shape and a long oblong shape, all in pinkish-orange colors. They appeared to wobble slightly and made no noise. Simon reported the sighting to a local UFO website but found no similar reports. This experience intensified his interest in UFOs, and he remains curious about what he saw, noting he has never encountered anything like it before or since.
