Case No 83 · UFO Afrinews No 9, February 1994

Light shoots over Isabel's house

Harare, the family's second house, Zimbabwe

What was reported

Coming home one night, Isabel and her brother saw a bright light shoot across the sky, passing over the house to the left and then behind it as they approached. She judged it too bright and too constant in size to be a shooting star, and it moved too slowly and too horizontally. A brief two-witness mention in her written account, notable because her brother, who otherwise features little, shared it.
