Triangular UAP Surprises Fishermen

What was reported

Sent in by Marie van Staden. At about 02:00 on 7 August 1995 two residents fishing from a rowing boat on the Sedgefield lake saw a triangular object bigger than an airliner with three bright lights on its base and smaller orange-red lights running up to the apex. It hung motionless over them for two minutes, then drew nearer, turned and was gone in a split second. Kleyn drove to the river mouth and found nothing. Around midnight the same night Police Sergeant Steven Schnetler, in his car just outside the village, saw red lights high over the road; he first took them for a vehicle on the mountain, where no roads exist, then for a car ahead, before they vanished from 100 metres away. Hind has written to him for the other witnesses' details.

What Hind made of it

Awaiting further detail from Sgt Schnetler; presented as credible with police corroboration.

Explanation offered
Schnetler briefly considered vehicle lights on the mountain, then a car ahead, and rejected both

In their words

• It hung in the sky above us for two minutes, absolutely still. Then it came closer to us, made a turn

• the lights were 100 metres in front of me at one moment, and then the next they were clean gone!
