Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and its occupants. One object was observed by five witnesses at a mountain (Pretorius).

Gert Pretorius and his wife, out for a drive, saw a brilliant round lighted object over Ouberg; it descended and hovered several feet above the ground about 1500 feet away and from it alighted two little men about a meter tall, of a luminous red color. They wore something like rucksacks on their backs, and each appeared to be carrying a flashlight in his hand. The "ball" lit up the area on the mountain bright as day; after several minutes the light went out, and the object reappeared in the sky. Koos Coetzee also saw the UFO, but did not see the occupants; it appeared to him like legs on which the object rested.


Hynek rating: CE3: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Entity reports)
