Report from Gomaub-South/Hoachanas: the light and the dry dam

What was reported

During the night of 26 April 1985 a farmer's wife at Gomaub-South near Hoachanas heard her child crying in its cot and, while attending to it, saw a sphere of light 'full of flickering stars' fall from the sky and hover over the homestead. She could not give the time. Next morning her husband, Mr V., found the farm dam, 15 m across and 2 m high, dry. It was the second time in five months, and the dam has no leak. Mr V., on the farm since 1932, said he had several times seen a 'spooky light' the size of a large motorbike headlight move across the land and then go. The report came from Namibian correspondent R M Roeis and opens Hind's review of African cases linking UAPs with water.
