The Start of the Flap of 1975 in Zimbabwe
There were a spate of sightings in Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) during July 1975.

I was in a band called Shalima and we were travelling to do a 3 month stint in Salisbury at Club Tomorrow. We had to be at the border when it opened so we travelled through the Transvaal late at night. We saw a large round orange ball hovering above the mountains around Pietersberg. It was 3.00 am the morning of 1st August 1975. We stopped the two kombis and all got out and watched it. It hovered there for about five minutes and then disappeared northwards. I've never seen anything move that fast. It took about 3 seconds to vanish over the horizon. I've never reported this for fear of being ridiculed. Rory McKenzie
