Letter from Trust Muteera, Mutare: silent shining dish seen in Grade 5

What was reported

Trust Muteera, an A-level student at Mutare Boys High School studying physics, chemistry and maths, wrote that his interest in UAPs began when he saw one himself in Grade 5, which by his age would place it around the start of the 1990s (year estimated). It was a shining, silent dish that crossed from south to north at high speed, at the time the television programme Off the Beaten Track was covering UAPs. He asked what training a ufologist needs and where to get it, and wondered when the wider public will learn about other life in space.

  Both c.1990 Mutare-area objects travelling south to north, silent. Muteera's Grade 5 sighting is dated only by his age and by the TV programme 'Off the Beaten Track' covering UAP reports at the time; his letter is from 1998. Weak link.
