UFO Sightings Map:
Southern Africa
This map shows about 240 UFO sightings in or near Southern Africa
for all years. Good UFO data for Africa is hard to find.
Major contributors are Cynthia Hind, Flying Saucer Review,
MUFON UFO Journal, APRO and others.
The small French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean is white with sightings (14), while vast continental expanses show no UFOs at all. South Africa shows 127 events, Zambia and Zimbabwe 60, the rest are scattered widely.
The only wave of note was July 1972, almost entirely in southeastern South Africa. Belgium had a local wave that month while the rest of the world was quiet. Green arrows indicate the mouth of the Umtentweni River. Late in 1979 there, a large silver disk hovered, then instantly shot upwards and out to sea.
