Query, Lt Col Sourcea Eaat African Standard Newspaper Playing Oolt on course while staying at the Mawingo Hotel, , an odd experience. Here he describes, in hie own wortte ~ what they saw. On the moming of Saturday, December 2, at 10: 50 a.m. and I were on the Nan- golf course, moving from the fourth green to the fifth e, when euddently from be- hind u I heard a rather high-pitched buzz which I thought to be a swarm of bees. "I turned round and called a warning to o was about 15 feet to my right. She had evidently heard the same sound as she had put up her a~ as it to protect her head. although the sound persisted, there was nothing to be seen, I followed with my eyes the direction of the sound and as it died away I suddently saw, in a clear sky, a pearly-coloured object which I momentarily thought was a piece of thistledown floating and drifting high above me. At that moment, I saw a bird aboutlOO feet up and realized that whatever I was looking at was at a considerable altitude. The object was circular and seemed to be, at the heigbt at which I saw it, about the size of an ~st African 50 cent piece. It was thicker acrose ita vertical axis and was not unlike a top, flattened at ita upper and lower pales. It appeared to be spinning on a clockwise direction while hovering in an almost stationary position. I called out to "What's that in the elq?" Then: "It's a flying saucer." She had just seen it too and called back "Don't be so ridiculous." "It iaJ" "Whether or not it was, in fact, one I shall, for simplicity, from now on c&ll it a fly- ing saucer. The colour of the saucer had a certain pearly iridescence and did not have any nor- mal metalic look. "The saucer was absolutely clear and quite unlike anything I have ever aeen before flying. I would point out that m7 wife and l were playing golf and had no thought in our minds of anything like this. It was entirel.]J due to the sound of the "beea" that we looked skyward at all and I do not know whether in fact there w~re bees or anything similar aboutor if the sound came from the flying saucer.
