South African Airways Flight 295 (the 'Helderberg'), a Boeing 747 Combi, was lost in the Indian Ocean off Mauritius on 28 November 1987 after an in-flight cargo fire. The official Margo Commission attributed the disaster to that fire, but fringe lore alleges mysterious or military cargo and a cover-up. The UFO/cover-up angle is unsupported conspiracy speculation, not a documented finding.
