Cigar with pulsating green light over the Zambezi, 1964

What was reported

In 1964 Chifef made a trip down the Zambezi with Graham Guy, then Director of the Queen Victoria Museum, and the professional photographer John McGeorge, who has since died. They camped mostly on sandbanks with no light except the moon and no glow from any settlement or street lamp. One night Guy pointed out something very high in a clear sky: a cigar-shaped object with a pulsing greenish light, moving extremely fast along a straight path. It was far too high for any sound to carry. They followed it across the sky until it was gone. Guy declared it a satellite; Chifef never quite accepted that. Hind prints the memory as background to the Marondera case, where she herself floated a satellite explanation that Chifef also rejected.

What Hind made of it

Hind offers no view; Chifef remained dubious of Guy's satellite explanation.

Explanation offered
Satellite (Graham Guy)

In their words

• Graham Guy pronounced it as being a satellite, but Chifef was always a bit dubious about this observation.
