Case No 106 · UFO Afrinews No 12, July 1995

Whose Face Wore the Smile?

Hotel in Joubert Park, Johannesburg, fourth floor, Johannesburg city centre, South Africa

What was reported

Dave H. was staying on the fourth floor of a hotel in Joubert Park, Johannesburg, when at about 02:00 on a Sunday morning he was woken by a light so bright it came through the thick curtain. Opening it, he saw a tiny man-like creature sitting on the ledge of the balcony; above it hung a saucer-type vehicle giving off a bright light and a low humming sound. When he put his hand forward the creature showed something like a smile. He got within about three feet of it before it hopped back into the vehicle, which was gone in about three seconds. The only people he told were his wife and Elizabeth Klarer. No year is given; since Klarer was consulted it predates her death in 1994.
