Report from Namibia

What was reported

Roland Roeis reports that during a farewell barbecue held for Mrs Fraser by her company in her Klein Windhoek back garden in September or October 1995, someone noticed at 21:00 a strong light above the house, about as bright as Venus. It was clearly no planet: the light descended, hovered for a while, then sped off eastward at great speed. The episode lasted five to seven minutes, long enough for Mr Emery, one of the guests, to observe it through his mounted telescope, which revealed a bright white light giving off intermittent red flashes.
