Two round metallic UAPs over Glen Lorne (Hedebro letter)

1988 · Glen Lorne, Harare, Zimbabwe

What was reported

Mrs S. Hedebro, wife of a Swedish diplomat living in Mt Pleasant, Harare, relays what a local friend told her a few weeks before writing. Five or six years earlier the friend and her husband had seen two round, metallic-looking objects pass over their house in Glen Lorne, travelling westward at great speed. When Hedebro asked whether she had ever reported it, the friend answered that she had no idea to whom one could. Hedebro also asks whether the editors have followed up letters in The Herald describing odd lights over Harare, and urges Afrinews to raise its profile so that people who have had an encounter know that somebody in the country will listen, understand, research and record it without mockery.
