Red lights hopping from tree to tree, seen from a donkey cart (within Case 121)

What was reported

On another winter night, between eight and half past, Johnny and his workers were returning late on a donkey cart after shooting impala when they saw red lights in the bush behind the farm. The lights hopped and seemed to float from tree to tree before eventually disappearing. Johnny groups this with the 1984 white ball as a harmless, silent phenomenon, perhaps gas balls, and contrasts it with the humming object of February 1996 that stopped at his gate. The farm has no granite, only small conglomerate outcrops, which Hind's team asked about.
