Johannesburg - The search for an unidentified objectwhich crashed into the sea at Port Shepstone on Saturday has been put on hold because ofrough weather conditions, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said on Monday.
"The search was called off on Sunday and will only resume once the sea is calm. Atthe moment the sea is not conducive to diving," said NSRI Shelley Beach Station CommanderEddie Noyons.
"Rescue workers were unable to find oil slicks or petrol or anysigns of a wreckage. We aren't yet sure what it was that crashed into the sea."
The search for the unidentified object began on Saturday after witnesses reportedthat an object, possibly an aircraft, had crashed into the sea behind the breaker lineoff-shore of the Port Shepstone High School, said Noyons.
Police, rescue craftand a fixed wing aircraft were alerted to the scene to investigate.
"Following afull-scale search of the area covering 12 square nautical miles nothing had been found.
"There are no reports of activity in the area that may be related to thisincident and there are no aircraft reported to be overdue or missing," said Noyons.
He said numerous witnesses - including teachers and pupils attending a sports eventat the high school, and other bystanders including local fishermen - were convinced theyhad seen an aircraft go into the water, including seeing smoke and a water plume.
Interviews with the witnesses revealed that some also reported seeing flames.
"Some reported seeing something, an unidentified object, splash into the sea causinga ripple effect of waves, " said Noyons.
Due to the number of witnesses withsimilar reports, it was presumed that weather activity in the area at the time might havegiven the impression of something falling into the sea.
"We aren't sure what itwas as we're still unaware of any missing aircraft, but will continue the search for theunidentified object in about two or three days. The sea was upside down yesterday(Sunday) and is still not conducive today (Monday)," said Noyons.
Was haltet ihr davon ?

-> also das stützt jadie Theroie das es heiße Brocken gewesen sein könnten.

-> hier wäre denkemal interessant zu wissen, ob beim Aufprall ins Wasser oder während es stürzte
Denke mal war nen Gesteinsbrocken :-)
