"Following a full-scale search of the area covering 12 square nautical miles nothing has been found. There are no reports of activity in the area that may be related to this incident and there are no aircraft reported overdue or missing" - Eddie Noyons, National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) Shelley Beach station commander.

Numerous eye-witnesses - including teachers and pupils attending a sports event at the high school, by-standers and local fishermen - were convinced they had seen an aircraft go into the water.
They said they saw smoke and described "water exploding".
Some also reported seeing flames.

The search for the unidentified object on Saturday has been put on hold on Monday because of rough weather conditions.

"The search was called off on Sunday and will only resume once the sea is calm. At the moment the sea is not conducive to diving. Rescue workers were unable to find oil slicks or petrol or any signs of a wreckage. We aren't yet sure what it was that crashed into the sea" - Eddie Noyons.

However,
Frans van Rensburg, a teacher at Port Shepstone High School, said on Monday it was simply a tornado that sucked up the sea water behind the breakers.
It was halftime during a rugby match between the first rugby teams of Port Shepstone and Ixopo when he noticed a dark cloud just before noon on a perfectly sunny Saturday morning.

The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is monitoring a mysterious situation on the KZN south coast.

"Numerous" eye-witnesses reported an unidentified flying object crashing into the sea on Saturday.
NSRI Shelley Beach station commander, Eddie Noyons, said eye-witnesses had reported an unidentified object - possibly an aircraft - crashing into the sea behind the breaker line off-shore of the Port Shepstone High School.
Police, rescue craft and a fixed wing aircraft were alerted to the scene to investigate.

"Following a full-scale search of the area covering 12 square nautical miles nothing has been found. There are no reports of activity in the area that may be related to this incident and there are no aircraft reported overdue or missing" - Eddie Noyons.

He said numerous eye-witnesses - including teachers and pupils attending a sports event at the high school, by-standers and local fishermen - were convinced they had seen an aircraft go into the water.
They said they saw smoke and described "water exploding".
Some also reported seeing flames.

"Some reported seeing something, an unidentified object, splash into the sea causing a ripple effect of waves" - Eddie Noyons.

Noyons said it was being presumed that weather activity in the area at the time might have given the impression of something falling into the sea.

"We will continue to monitor the situation, which remains a mystery" - Eddie Noyons.
