“SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE and scientists investigated in Johannesburg Thursday (16 September 1965) a report that a
flying saucer-type object had landed on a main highway near Pretoria , the country’s administrative
capital.
Two patrolling police officrs reported seeing the
flaming ‘saucer,’ about 30
feet in diameter, shortly after midnight. One of them,
Koos de Klerk, said the shiny copper-colored object resembled a giant spinning
top.
The two men claimed that as they approached the
object, it took off silently at great speed with flames shooting out of its
underside.”
