Report from Namibia (A): twenty lights over Windhoek

What was reported

Early on the afternoon of 20 April 1982, under a clear sky with slight haze towards the horizon, a Windhoek woman watering her garden became aware of roughly twenty lights of assorted sizes and brightness moving about 30 degrees above the optical horizon. Five further lights later joined the group, these shining on and off. The lights lay to the south-east of her and drifted northwards until something obscured them from view. Mr and Mrs R M Roeis of Windhoek, Hind's Namibian correspondents, sent this in as the first of three Namibian reports numbered Case 28.

In their words

• about 20 lights of different sizes and brighteness, moving approx. 30° above the optical horizon.

Something over Windhoek

A bar owner stepped out for air and saw a flame-coloured thing with a red light riding above it. He fetched the whole bar out to watch.
