Case No 34 · UFO Afrinews No 5, January 1992
Golf-ball Light in Windhoek
Windhoek, a private house and backyard, Namibia
What was reported
A yellow ball of light about the size of a ping-pong ball appeared to a Windhoek couple in their backyard and vanished before their eyes. The next night, clear and cloudless, a flash lit their house at about 23:00. Their dog was howling outside; let in, it was smeared with blood, having, they found next day, crashed through a rusty fence. While they tended it with the front door open, a blue-white ball of light came in and moved slowly along the walls from room to room, hovering over each electrical item, radio, fridge, torch and heater, as if inspecting it, while ignoring other metal objects. Only the wife and the restless dog could see it; the husband saw nothing and scolded her. At the fridge it popped and was gone. Roland Roeis adds that clairvoyants tell him such spheres follow geomagnetic or ley lines.
What Hind made of it
Hind says one cannot state whether it came from outer space or a parallel universe, but Afrinews' policy is to record unexplained lights and objects seen in Africa.
