Case No 103 · UFO Afrinews No 12, July 1995
Truck in Disguise
1981 ยท Road between Wepener and Springfontein, Free State, South Africa
What was reported
Hannie B. was one of four people driving home between Wepener and Springfontein in the Orange Free State in 1981 when they saw what looked like a huge cargo truck with small coloured lights on top moving across the veld where no road existed. While they wondered how a truck could drive there, the three little lights suddenly flew toward the car, growing larger as they came, and passed over it heading the opposite way. The party got a real fright. There was no sound, and the lights were definitely three, of different colours and strikingly big. She reported it to the newspaper next day and was told it was a ghost that other people had seen in the same area. Marie van Staden vouches for her as no liar and highly respected in the town.
