W.S. van Heerden's few-second flying saucer over Lourenço Marques (letter)

What was reported

Closing his long letter on ball-like objects and the HIV virus, W.S. van Heerden of Pretoria reminds readers that he himself once watched what he calls his own flying saucer over Lourenço Marques in Mozambique, an event Hind printed in the first issue of Afrinews. The sighting lasted only a few seconds, but he says those seconds were enough to convince him that the object was not of this world, which is why he now argues that UAPs are a single facet of something larger needing a holistic approach and that shooting at such objects, as someone did with a .303 rifle in a case from Afrinews 4, is pointless.

In their words
