Case · UFO Afrinews No 9, February 1994
Red light over Gibraltar harbour
1974 ยท Gibraltar harbour, balcony of a military flat, Gibraltar
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
While living in a military flat on Gibraltar's harbour around 1974/75, Janet would sit on the balcony at night watching ships and stars. One night she saw a red light crossing the sky which she took for a falling star until it began flashing and sparking and seemed to come towards her. Her husband Robert, a Navy man, came out and pronounced it a falling star; it then vanished. A few nights later they both saw it again and he repeated his identification despite its behaviour. She saw it six or seven times over her three and a half years there, always gone within seconds, and argues it could not be a meteor if it kept returning to the same place. The memory surfaced while she was telling Colleen about the garden figures.
