CSIGHTING DETAILS
What did the UFO look like, shape/size in relation to terrestrial objects/lights/colour:
I saw the first ufo in April 1980 at the village called Palapye in Botswana.I was sitting around the fire with the family around 8p.m when we saw it .It looked like a tractor's rear wheel and it was one and half times bigger.It was going from south to north.The sky was clear but the moon was not in the sky.Ufo shone like full moon
Did the UFO do any strange things like hover and then zoom off quickly:
It travelled at a slow speeed in a straight line but its appearance looked rather like an ice than metal.Its altitude perhaps at some 1500 meters from the ground.There were no any lightson it
Any additional comments:
People from Mahalapye a village some 72km south of Palapye also reported having seen it the following morning.When the first president of Botswana Sir seretse khama died later in July 1980 then some people said that the ufo we saw was a sign for his death.That ufo we refered to it as a cloud because at that time we knew not of ufos.But it was ufo not a cloud.There is no way you can expect a cloud to move from one horizon to another without changing its shape.Believe it looked a PURE solid.
