Letter from Adrian, aged 7: red line in the sky

1995 ยท Not printed; the verandah of the boy's home, Zimbabwe

What was reported

A letter from a seven-year-old boy named Adrian, passed on by Jill Darke, presenter of the Saturday morning TV programme You and Your Stars. On a Monday, just after swimming, he was standing with his sister on the verandah when he saw a strange red sort of line in the sky. He heard no sound. His sister thought it was a rocket, but he did not think so, and he asked for it to be discussed on television. No place or exact date is given; the issue is dated July 1995 and the same programme forwarded a letter from Bulawayo, so the location is probably Zimbabwean.
