Zimbabwe UFO Incident: New Witness Saw Similar UFO in Zimbabwe Schoolyard 20 Years Prior

• When: March 1975
• Where: Fort Victoria, Zimbabwe
• What: Large aluminum disc shaped craft silently hovers, and then vanishes

20 years before strange humanoid beings famously landed a spacecraft in a Zimbabwe schoolyard and were witnessed by over 60 children and one adult, an eerily similar event occurred - in the same country. And it is just now getting reported to MUFON.

Near a schoolyard in Fort Victoria, Zimbabwe, a now-adult recalls a visitation by a flying saucer when he or she was a child....like in the 1996 incident, no photos or video were taken, but  the witness remembers the event vividly, and has drawn photos and created models of the UFO ever since.

Detailed witness description:

There were no schools around there so my parents put me in a Fort Victoria Junior Primary Boarding School, which I recently learned the name was Andrew Louw School. It was located in a rural area on the outskirts of Fort Victoria City, The school was surrounded by a high electrical fence because of terrorism.

...

So that fine afternoon at about 3 or 4 o'clock, me and the kids were playing cowboys and indians and I shot my bow and arrow about 20 or 30 times at trees and bugs and stuff. There was a point I started shooting at the sky because this arrow really shot far. After my 3rd , 4th or 5th shot at the sky in different directions I noticed an aluminum coloured object, not stainless steel coloured, just hovering in the sky at about 9-10 km height above tree level but below cloud level. I observed it for probably about 5 minutes on and off. There was no noise, I could see no windows,no lights, no smoke , no fire, no aliens just and aluminum disc shaped object hanging upon nothing as a full stop.

...

Suddenly they started looking toward where I was aiming at the disc shaped object. They didn't say a word for about 30 seconds while looking at this object, eventually one of the teachers saying it was a spaceship, one of the other teachers saying it may be a satellite. They were looking at it as if it was a thing they never saw in their life. I was very observant and the teachers kept on with their conversation and I went back to play with the kids I was playing with earlier but every 5-10 minutes I'd look up at the object and it would still be there, no movement or noise parked as a full stop, just hovering. After 3 or 4 hours the bell rang for us to go take our shower so all us kids ran inside to our rooms to get our stuff to shower. I looked up at it one more time and it was still there before I went for my shower. The shower period probably took us 15 to 30 minutes more or less. When I was done my shower and combing my hair I decided to run down the corridor so I could take a glimpse of the object one more time. Once I turned around the corner where I could see the playground it had vanished without a trace, never heard a noise or anything out of the unusual as if it didn't even exist. I never saw it again. I remember the next day waking up with a huge boil on my right leg which they sent me to sick bay. For 2 days and nights I was isolated from the rest of the kids.

....

That has lived in my memory until today. I'm 42 years old now I've been drawing pictures of the UFO I saw since the day I saw it, I've even created an aluminum sculpture of it, I've gathered so much information from UFO's all over the world and any mysterious thing known to man and out of every picture I've seen and researched there is only one which was taken in Belgium or France which is the same design of the one I saw except the one in Belgium or France glowed like the sun. I have researched all my life as much as I could by myself and the only things I know to hover for periods of time is the British Harrier,

This event is strikingly similar to the very famous and well-documented case of aliens visiting schoolchildren in the same country  years later. Adult witnesses are also speaking out about this event for the first time, which may actually have prompted this new witness to file a report with MUFON:
