Danie van Graan of Loxton: beam of light and death from cancer (follow-up)
1975 ยท sheep kraal, Loxton, north of Beaufort West, Beaufort West, South Africa
What was reported
Following up the case printed in issue 17, Hind presents Danie van Graan as the only African case she knows of with possibly fatal UAP effects. In July 1975 he saw what he took for a caravan in his sheep kraal at Loxton, assumed it belonged to government prospectors searching for uranium, and walked towards it. It turned out to be a craft of some sort; when he was about three metres away the four men inside looked up and hit him with a beam of light. Some time later he died riddled with cancer. Hind stresses there is no proof of radiation exposure but says the possibility must be considered.
What Hind made of it
