Afram Plains: later sightings by the same family, a hissing saucer and a Stetson-hat object

Afram Plains, Eastern Region, the same maize field; a school park in the village, Ghana

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

The same Ghanaian letter goes on to describe further events after the February 1990 landing, undated but before CUFOS forwarded it in October 1991. The writer's sister twice saw an object of the same kind. He himself, in broad daylight over the same green field, watched something between a plane and a saucer, very large and at least 20 feet across, which flew and hovered while giving off a hissing noise before passing out of sight over the horizon. More recently, jogging in a school park in the village at about 04:00, he saw an object resembling a Stetson cowboy hat, brightly lit with coloured lights, hovering in the sky; he kept watching until it rose very high and away.

What Hind made of it

Printed with the main report in good faith but unconfirmed; the Ghanaian correspondent never replied.

In their words
