Mystery around strange black circle over Pretoria skies

Mystery still surrounds the strange black circle that was seen floating in the sky in the north of Pretoria on Saturday evening.
Residents took to social media to share images of the unidentified flying object which coincidently appeared shortly after a sub-station exploded.
Tshwane emergency services spokesperson Charles Mabaso said firefighters received a call around 18:20 about a transformer that exploded in the Annlin area.
“We dispatched a fire truck to the incident but the transformer was found not to be on fire,” he said.

“The matter was handed over to the electricity department. It is not known what might have caused the transformer to explode.”
The explosion led to a power outage, which affected several suburbs, including Capital Park, Mayville, Wolmer, and Pretoria North.
