Letter: MUFON Journal parallel for the Cape whistling case ('Forty Years Ago')
1948 ยท not stated, Unknown (not stated; from the MUFON Journal, USA)
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
In the same letter Conway offers Hind an overseas parallel for the whistling heard by a group of witnesses in her Afrinews 1 Cape case, where nothing was seen. The MUFON Journal for August 1988 (page 14, 'Forty Years Ago') records an object that was seen while a whistle was heard. A footnote gives Conway's details: a circular thing about 30 cm thick and 60 cm across, dull grey, with no windows, wires or appendages, which gave a faint clank like metal on metal when it struck the ground. Investigators later found an impression 60 cm in diameter at the landing spot. No date or location is printed. Conway adds a second reference, to issue 244 page 15, for a buzzing sound like a huge swarm of bees.
