Something unsual was seen in the skies of Dar on 9th January 2009 at 7.40pm by Mr. Sujit Bhojak (pictured), a renowned graphic designer in Tanzania, and owner of Aquarius advertising ltd along Sewa street.
He says: “As usual I was standing in my balcony on 4th floor from where I see huge area of sky till Indian ocean and suddenly my eyes caught attention on an unusual flying object in the sky, which was so bright and was flying at an usual speed compared to normal planes which leave long trails behind.

“The lights were not blinking like normal airplanes, so I shouted to my whole family to witness the same, for few seconds no one understood what it is, and I shouted my wife to get my Sony handy cam, DCRSR62 which has a very powerful with 2000x zoom.
“I managed to record about 3-4 seconds of that rapid flying bright object on video and then it just disappeared behind the clouds.

“On 10th Jan 09, I checked on the UFO sighting website, and to my surprise I found that a similar object was caught on video in Scotland on the very same day too.
I am not a UFO geek and what I saw was a mystery and I don’t go out looking for flying saucers or aliens. But for now, I will live with it and feel good about something I caught on my camera in my life in Tanzania.

I have also uploaded my details on

  3. it's written in the BIBLE i.e. as the End times approach when the SECOND COMING of the SON OF MAN is near, the world is going to experience with a lot of events for instance ;seing strange objects in the sky i.e. Comets,Bright stars,Planets moving closer to earth; Natural calamities like Floods(eg Tsunami, Ktrina)Earthquakes; Wars- eg US-Iraq War,the ongoing War in Gaza; civil and ethnic unrest like in Somali Land, Darfour etc..All of these are clear signs that the end of the world is near, and God is sending a message for Human Beings to re-examine themselves. let's refrain from doing any sins, let's move closer ro God, repent from sins;accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour; for those in Marriages- respect your spouses,be faithful to one another, in the offices refrain from corrruption,do not cheat your employer; jamani let's live in rightousness as the CLOCK IS TICKING LOUDLY!! we have got only now to repent from our sins and submit ourselves totall to God as when the SON of MAN has come, there will be absolutely no time, there will be separation of just two groups, for those going to HEAVEN and for those to HELL!binadamu jitakase na mrudie MUNGU WAKO SASA BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!

  8. Anon #1 na #3 UFO haina uhusiano wowote na yaliyoandikwa ktk biblia. Hapa Marekani hizi So-called UFO things yameshatokea miaka ya 1960s na kuna ubishano mkubwa kati ya Serikali na walioshuhudia vituko hivyo vya UFO.Inaaminika UFO ni Viumbe toka katika Sayari nyingine zinazozunguka Jua.
    ***Hili Jambo la UFO bado halijathibitishwa kisayansi.

  9. Hello Mr. Sujit Bhojak,

    What you saw was most likely to be the Hubble Space Telescope.

    Occasionally the man-made satellites orbiting our planet can be visible to the naked eye in the evening sky. This happens because, although on the surface of the Earth we no longer can see the sun, far up there around 40,000kms up, the sun rays can hit and be reflected brightly from an object that happens to be passing by.

    I was fortunate to see the now-defunct MIR Space Station from Dar one evening and, as you describe, if glows brightly and moves much faster than any airplane, and smoothly disappears without leaving any trace of its passage.

    At the time I knew what it was because I was tracking the MIR on the web, and was able to know exactly at what time and location in the Dar skies it would appear.

    Before assuming you've seen a UFO, perhaps you could check the web for any satellites that may have been visible at the time and co-ordinates of your sighting. Just use Google with "satellite tracker" to choose a site.

    Here is how I found that the Hubble Space Telescope may be visible in Dar these days:

    Enjoy your sky-viewing tonight as we will be lit up by a generous full moon!

  10. This is just a show off, it is about you that you have appeared in Michuzi blog, and there is nothing wrong with you could have said Happy New Year to all TZs and we could have been ok with it.

    Why is the very first picture is of you broadly smiling like looking for a date here. Why you just didn't focus in UFOs. You are trying to get popularity but try luck somewhere else.

  12. Whether it's Jesus, or aliens, whatever and whoever that can come to teach us on how to live together in peace and harmony, I'm down with it. I'm not clean myself (how could I be with all temptations around me?), but I'm sure I will embrace Jesus when he comes back.

  14. That is Meteorite kama sijakosea spelling. Kiswahili ni vimondo. Na wanasayansi walishatoa taarifa kuwa siku hiyo vingeanguka vingi tu dunia nzima. Vinatoka ktk sayari ya mars kama sijakosea. Na walitangaza ktk TV. Ni kama kile kimondo kilichopo wilaya ya Mbozi Mbeya ila kile ni kikubwa. Hivi vya juzi ni vidogo vidogo.

  15. If there is anything like UFOs and aliens surely their technology is very advanced.The so called UFOs hardly give out any kind of noises....they appear and disappear in American skies more oftenly.The Us govt has even attempted chasing after and shooting thse flying objects proving failure to do so because UFOs tend to disappear into thin air.
    I just can't imagine that day when they will attack for real teh teh teh....cz it looks like they are making a plan starting with the most powerful nation on earth scary......am just kidding u'all.

  21. mwisho wa dunia utafika when we are done messing up our natural resources and nothing to do na what the bilble or quran says kuwa sijui majengo marefu yakianza kujengwa etc. I think that there has to be life on other planets even if it is not the same as ours or is not the way we see it and so yes some may be advanced to be spying on us etc. with tanzania though i would guess that it is more likely the us or such spying on us than a ufo but yes you never know

  26. Mi nawaunga mkono sana anonyms wa Jan 11 time 11:43am na 12:21pm, ni kweli kwa wale wanaosoma BIBLIA, katika kitabu cha UFUNUO ; MARKO, kutatokea matukio mengi ya ajabu jinsi siku za mwisho zinavyokaribia; na Mungu anawaamabia wanadamu, wengi hawataamini, wengi watadhani ni upuuzi na uongo, wengi watajaribu kutoa "scientfic justification" lakini ukweli unabaki IT'S TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE kwa yaliyoandikwa katika BIBlIA na yanayotokea sasa,jamani BIBLIA iliandikwa miaka ile.. lakini kwa nini yote yaliyotabiriwa ndiyo yanatokea sasa?? km huamini jiulize na utafakari; ktk vitabu vya mwanzo; NOAH alipewa ishara na Mungu kutayarisha safina kwani Mungu alikuwa na mpango wa kuleta gharika kubwa, kuwaangamiza wanadamu kwa vile aligadhibika na matendo yao, NOAH alijitahidi sana kuwaaarifu watu ju ya hilo, watu waache tabia zao mbaya na watubu,lakini watu walimuona kichaa kwa kumcheka na kumkebehi; yaliyotokea DHORUBA ikatumwa na watu walikufa karibu wote kasoro uzao wa NOAH pekee kupitia Safina yake aliyoitengeneza; sasa kwa hili mwenye masikio na asikie, mwenye kutaka kuamini na amini, lakini km mtu bado unajiuliza; huu ni wakati wa kumrudia Mungu wako, jifunze na uelewe Biblia,hudhuria fellowships mbalimbali,Nenda kanisani, sikiliza neno la Mungu ulitafakari na kulitenda, ishi katika utakatifu achana na dhambi; Ishi kwa kumuogopa Mungu.Ishara zinazotokea ni nyingi mno to be ignored; ishi kwa kusali na kuomba na kutubu na Mungu atakusikia.
