Pulsating Blue Lights

What was reported

In April 1965 Julie R. was visiting friends at Margate whose house stood a little inland on the slope of a knoll, with a second knoll beyond. About 20:00 a tremendous noise like a thunderstorm or jet made everything shake; outside there were no clouds and no aircraft, and the spot was not on an air route. The sound came from the direction away from the sea, lasted about ten minutes without fading like a passing plane, then stopped abruptly. At about 21:00, preparing to go home, she saw half-way up the second knoll four pairs of pulsating blue lights with a glittering silver substance inside them at their brightest. She decided to stay, since anything could happen. Around 23:00 the lights went out one by one. Next day she found nothing out of place.

  12-12-1 is outside this cluster (Hellenic Hotel, Pretoria, 1957). Same Julie R., both relayed by Marie van Staden as Hind's Case No 99 (a) and (b). Note also that 12-12-2 is mis-geocoded: the text says Margate, about 120 km south-west of Durban, but its coordinates (-29.90, 30.98) sit on the Durban Bluff. It should not be in this cluster at all.
