Case · UFO Afrinews No 9, February 1994
Kalahari crashed UAP claim (van Greunen) still open
1989 ยท Kalahari desert, South Africa
What was reported
A brief follow-up on the claimed UAP crash in the Kalahari desert, said to have occurred on 7 May 1989 and promoted by James van Greunen. Hind notes that several investigators in Great Britain maintain they hold official documents and other material proving a crash took place, so the case is not closed. She clarifies that she never said categorically the crash did not happen; her contention was that the documents Van Greunen showed her were faked. Four and a half years on, she argues, if genuine proof exists the group holding it should have produced it, and asks what use trying to prove UAPs exist is without evidence.
What Hind made of it
Hind maintains the documents she saw were faked and challenges the British investigators who say they hold proof to produce it.
