Oval object with headlights over Fort Rixon

What was reported

F.C. Cloete of Fort Rixon, a farming district between Bulawayo and Shangani, sent a brief report of the 14 September 1994 object. He described it as oval-shaped and travelling fairly slowly at only about 50 metres up, towards tree-top level, before it rose higher. Two large lights at the front looked like headlights. Hind includes it among the Matabeleland accounts collected with Vivienne Pascoe's help; like the Deka and Tolley reports it puts the object at a height and speed that Hind felt were hard to reconcile with a meteor shower, though she concedes tree-top-level impressions could be an optical illusion.

In their words

• There were two large lights in front, like headlights.
