The alleged Lesotho UAP crash

Lesotho, Lesotho

What was reported

In the same comment Hind names the alleged Lesotho UAP crash as another James van Greunen 'non-runner'. She gives no details of the claim itself, only that a few investigators spent a lot of wasted money and time checking it out before it collapsed. She lists it alongside the border crash as a case readers should forget, warning that such hoaxes get Africa blamed for muddying the UAP field just as serious work seems to be getting somewhere.

What Hind made of it

A Van Greunen non-runner that wasted investigators' money and time.
