This incident happened more than six months ago, but it is still very fresh on my memory. I have had endless discussions with various people regarding this but a truly acceptable explanation has so far eluded me.

Description of Incident
On the morning of Saturday October 8 2005 my wife and I dropped our 18 year old daughter at school. It was about 6:50 am and we decided to go to a nearby beach to wait for the shops to open so that we can have our breakfast. We reached the beach at just about 7 am.

While at the beach we sat on the concrete steps facing out to sea to our west. It was 7:05 am and the sun was already shining very brightly when my wife noticed something unusual on the water about 500 meters off shore and she brought my attention to it. What I saw looked like a strip of white wave breaking on the water surface and I told her that was all that it was.

However instead of moving towards shore, the 'wave' was moving across the water parallel to the beach away towards our left.

My wife then queried me again and suggested that maybe it was a dolphin instead, but I told her it was moving too fast for even a dolphin and probably way too big. The 'white strip of wave' by my estimation, was at least about 8 to 9 meters long. It was definitely not a boat either, because what I could see was just the strip of white water breaking on the surface and nothing above.

Now, the beach that we were at was right in the centre of a gentle bay with our city's International Airport at the end of the bay about 3 kilometers away to our left. The moving strip of white water was moving towards the airport at a speed of maybe about 30 or 40 Kmh.

After about 2 minutes and maybe a thousand meters from where we first noticed it, a grey/white craft broke out of the water right where the white wave was and it continued to move in the same direction except this time it was flying in the air.

From what I could see, I could not make out any conventional means of propulsion that I know of, no propeller, no rotors, no jet exhaust and completely silent from where I was. While at the distance I could here the planes taking off and landing earlier, this flying vessel was totally silent.

It flew straight towards the direction of the air strip and faily low, barely clearing the tops of the nearby trees and it went across the western end of the runway below the approach window which was facing the sea.

After another couple of minutes or so the flying vessel disappeared in the distance. It never headed towards the skies, but in fact disappeared somewhere among the distant hills.

I really could not find any explanation for this sighting that both my wife and I saw. Unfortunately I did not bring my camera and I do not have any proof whatsoever of this sighting. The were also no other witnesses although there were a few people jogging at the beach when this happened, but no one was looking out to sea while they jogged. I guess I was too shocked with astonishment to hail any of the joggers to bring their attention to the phenomena.

Appearance
The vessel was white/metalic grey in colour. It had a gently curved top and a round large ball-like bottom. It is quite unlike any craft I have every seen, except maybe in the Sci Fi movies.

To me the most prominent feature of the vessel was the round ball-like bottom.

Size
It was difficult to estimate its size when it came out of the water, because of the distance, but it was definitely a lot bigger than the strip of water that we saw, and I estimated the strip to at least 8 to 9 meters, so maybe the craft was at least about 12 to 15 meters in length.

Estimated distance
The object was about 500 meters out to sea when we first saw it. By the time it left the water it was already more than 1 kilometer away.

Was it a UFO? Well, it was definitely a flying craft (object), and as far as I can figure, it was definitely unidentifiable, so does that qualify as a UFO? You tell me!

Any comments please!
