Chifef's earlier daylight sphere over Sunningdale

What was reported

Reporting the Marondera sphere, Chifef reminded the editors that he had already written to Afrinews years before about an earlier daytime observation. In the early 1970s, from Sunningdale in Harare, he, his wife and a family friend had watched an orange-red sphere for something like 10 to 15 minutes in broad daylight. The issue prints nothing more about that object's size, height or movement. Hind includes the recollection as part of the witness's background when weighing the 1992 report, together with his 1964 Zambezi sighting and his own description of himself as a hunter with sharp eyes who is not easily impressed and who has long experience of judging range with machine guns.

In their words
