NO CASE INFORMATION ONLY SOURCE: FLYING SAUCER REVIEW MAGAZINE, Volume 10, No. 4 SOUTH AFRICA A pilot's sighting This incident, briefly reported in our previous issue, can now be more fully documented. Miller, a pilot of South African Airways, whose report appeared in the AFRICAN Journal of Science and his letter appeared in the March, 1964, issue of Flying Saucer Review, was flying a Boeing 707 from Las Palmas to Zürich on the 15th February, 1964, when he noticed a bright bluish- white glow in the Eastern sky at 06.11 GMT. When observed through the front panel of the aircraft, the glow seemed to be about 8 in. in diameter and was perfectly spherical. The air temperature was about -35°C." "From the height at which we were flying, the Eastern sky was lighter, the lighter being prior to sunrise, and the glow began to assume an elliptical shape with the long axis horizontal. The position of the glow was now shifting in relation to stars and the aircraft, and we observed its attitude as changing slowly, but its size appeared to diminish." "As the Eastern sky became brighter, the glow appeared to increase in size, becoming more diffuse and the now larger ellipse diffusing and sparkling oval and finally disappearing just before the sun appeared above the horizon." "From first observation the glow appeared in space, but the later fairly rapid change in position in relation to the aircraft indicated that it was not." "At the time, I should be most interested to hear any explanation of the phenomenon." The text of the report is as follows: Information Only Source: Rabual, New Britain 19 February 1964 Mysterious Light Haunts Couple There seems to be at least two kinds of aerial maneuvering lights—one completely inexplicable from a physical point of view, and the small maneuvering lights, possibly remote-controlled "objects". We deal with the former in this account: John Horan, 21, a headmaster and his wife, Diane, 19, have reported their experiences with a glowing "ghostly" light which appeared mysteriously in the bedroom of their home in Rabual. Horan said that the light shone through their bedroom car headlights to have shone through a window.
