What was reported
Langton Chizinga was walking home from the Rimuka Township cinema in Kadoma at about 12:22 am in February 1997 after seeing the film FX2 when he noticed an object flat at the base with a rounded top, bright red lights at either end and a white beam flashing from the centre, twice as bright as a searchlight. It hung stationary for perhaps 40 seconds about 8 m up, level with a tall tree, and what seemed a tinted window prevented him seeing inside. He heard no clear noise but half-remembers a hiss, and was sure it was not a helicopter. It then moved off south toward the stars at a speed he felt could not be measured by human standards. Initial fear gave way to calm and a conviction that UAPs exist.
