Letter from 'Ray', Cape Town: three orange-red dots on a Wellington slide

What was reported

A reader signing himself Ray, of Cape Town, wrote that some twenty years earlier he had taken a slide of a peaceful midday scene in a valley near Wellington in the Cape. When developed, the slide showed three bright orange-red dots he had not noticed at the time, and only after watching recent documentaries did he come to think they were UAPs. He enclosed the photograph. Hind reports that at the MUFON Symposium she passed the picture to photo analyst Bruce Maccabee for an opinion and is awaiting his reply.

What Hind made of it

Handed to Bruce Maccabee PhD for analysis; reply awaited.
