What was reported

A correspondent signing himself JSE describes a night in camp on safari in Kenya in April 1956. He and a couple of companions saw a very strange object fly over the camp extremely low, bearing huge red and orange lights; its front was a dull silver colour. What astonished them most was the total absence of sound, and they sat staring as it flew off and vanished into the far north. Afterwards they contacted people in the nearest town, but apparently nobody else had seen it, or nobody was willing to be involved. One of the Marie van Staden reports, printed without verification and with no further location given.
