Danie van Graan of Loxton: four pale people in a 'caravan'

What was reported

Danie van Graan of Loxton in the Cape went to look at his sheep in their enclosure on 31 July 1975 and saw four people inside what he called a 'caravan'. They were on the small side, about 1.40 m, thin and pale rather than robust, and wore cream-coloured overalls with hoods attached. With a hood pushed back he could see fair hair, slanting eyes and long faces with high cheekbones tapering to a sharp chin. Hind uses the case to show that the entities reported in Africa differ from the standard 'Grey' of international reports.

What Hind made of it

Cited as an African close encounter with distinctive, non-Grey entities.

In their words

• They were a bit on the small side: in fact, they were rather thin and pale. Not healthy looking or robust.

• They also had slanting eyes, long faces with high cheek bones, coming down to a sharp chin

  06-17-2 prints van Graan's entity description as an undated specimen with no narrative; 19-14-2 carries the same description (slanting eyes, long face, high cheekbones tapering to a sharp chin) and supplies the date. The undated box is this case, so 06-17-2 is not an extra report.
