Case No 18 (b) · UFO Afrinews No 3, May 1990
Ball of light on the Bulawayo to Harare road
1972 · Road from Bulawayo to Harare (then Salisbury), Zimbabwe
What was reported
Driving alone from Bulawayo to Harare about 9.30 one night in 1972, Dave van Rhyn noticed a ball of light hovering above trees to the right of the road, half a kilometre to a kilometre ahead. When he stopped to look, it moved off without a sound, travelling parallel to the road, and he drove after it. About 5 km on he saw it had halted. He got out, switched off his lights and started across the road to get into the bush for a closer look. Just as he reached the roadside fence the light shot away in a slight arc to his right and vanished upward among the stars.
