Case · UFO Afrinews No 14, July 1996
Evidence of UAP Sunburn: object crossing the moon, August 1965
1965 ยท Not stated (from Vallee's Passport to Magonia), Unknown
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
Answering Hind's appeal in No 13 for cases of sunburn following UAP contact, Loren Gross of the USA sent two references. The first, from Vallee's Passport to Magonia, describes a 37-year-old civilian who on 13 August 1965 watched an object roughly 100 metres across pass in front of the moon and disappear, followed by something like a shock wave. About twenty minutes later, indoors, his sight turned hazy and his eyes ached; he progressively lost vision in both eyes and his whole body showed sunburn. Doctors likened the symptoms to ultraviolet exposure, and his sight eventually came back. No place is given.
What Hind made of it
Offered as a documented precedent for UAP sunburn; Hind wants an accredited scientist to study the syndrome.
Explanation offered
Ultraviolet exposure (medical comparison)
In their words
-
He gradually lost vision in both eyes and his entire body was sun-burnt.
