Update: sun-burn after a childhood encounter (Mr Rossouw's friend)

What was reported

Mr Rossouw, who passed on this case for a friend in issue 12, now corrects the reference to a skin problem after the encounter. The witness, a boy on a remote farm at the time, suffered only something resembling mild sun-burn, plus a small mark on his arm that stayed for about a year without troubling him. He recalls no beam from the craft and wonders whether its speed or vibration caused the burn, though as a child he understood none of it. The family lived far from medical help and relied on home remedies and ointments, so no doctor was consulted. Hind adds a footnote that sun-burn after UAP contact recurs in cases she knows of but is not indexed anywhere in her library.
