Stuart Marongwe's brother at Njelele: the long white shape at dawn

What was reported

Stuart Marongwe of KweKwe, aged 19, writes that his eldest brother, the last person he would expect to know anything about UAPs, remarked on seeing him with a UAP book that he had seen one of those things. It happened at Njelele in 1985 or 1986, where the brother was a temporary teacher. Around 4 a.m., while he and colleagues were out for an early bath before the bus to work, they saw a long white cloud-like object moving from west to east, bright white, silent and fast. Stuart suggested an aircraft's jet stream, but his brother dismissed this because the thing was close, looked huge, had a definite elongated shape and nothing resembling a plane, and gave the feeling of something from beyond.
