UFO With ‘Light Extensions’ Seen By Many In Namibia

Summary

On August 16, 1976, multiple individuals in Walvish Bay, Namibia, witnessed a UFO with 'light extensions' that disappeared with the rising sun.

Abstract

A UFO sighting occurred on the morning of August 16, 1976, in Walvish Bay, Namibia. The unidentified object, which was also observed by fishermen a month prior, was described as having a round ball underneath with two shining light extensions that emitted spark-like substances. The sighting, reported by several people including two non-whites, was captured in photographs by Mr. Dieter Krauer, although the distance may have affected the photo quality. The phenomena, referred to by some as a 'Space Monster,' vanished around 7:30 a.m. as the sun rose.

Opinions

The object was considered strange and inexplicable by the witnesses and the Namib Times.
Mr. Dieter Krauer believed the distance to the object was too great to capture clear photographs.
The phenomena caused enough interest to be illustrated and discussed in the Namib Times.
Some observers speculated about the nature of the phenomena, labeling it a 'Space Monster.'
The disappearance of the phenomena coincided with sunrise, leading to the notion that it faded and disappeared completely with the sunlight.

This strange phenomena (illustrated above) was observed yesterday (Aug 16th) morning at approximately 6:30 a.m. in the sky over the wilderness in Walvish Bay.

Several people notified the Namib Times about the about the appearance of this strange phenomena, which disappeared around 7:30 a.m. in the sky. No one can say for certain what it was.

This same object, or one like it, about a month ago, had the fishermen at sea guessing about it. One of our readers, Mr. Dieter Krauer clearly observed the top, (with a round ball underneath) shining brilliantly. The two light extensions were also shining and shot off something which looked like sparks.

Mr. Krauer also said that he took some photographs of the strange phenomena, but he believes the distance was too great. Several other people, among whom were two non-whites, also described the phenomena as in the sketch above of the Namib Times.

Some people referred to the phenomena as a ‘Space Monster’ and said that with the rising of the sun, the ‘Monster’ faded and later disappeared completely.
