Rosmead tennis-court “landing”
On 12 November 1972, residents of Rosmead in South Africa's Eastern Cape saw a bright light zig-zag across the sky and appear to descend on a school tennis court. Afterwards scorch marks and holes were found in the tar surface, and nearby trees died.
Samples went to the South African Police forensic laboratory in Pretoria. Its head, Col. Lothar Neethling, said nothing unusual had been found and suggested vandals with pick-axes.
