The view from the Drakensberg mountains

In one of the best cases of alien encounters ever recorded, meteorologist Elizabeth Klarer claimed to have been made pregnant by a tall, white-haired spaceship pilot in 1956. Given that she worked for army intelligence, she was a credible witness and she stuck by her story until her death in 1994. She apparently took pictures of the spacecraft from the Drakensberg mountains, which are pretty nice to explore.
