Full Description & Details

The day was a really clear and bright , we stood talking about our farms and the crops. I happened to glance up and noticed a vapour trial. This by the way was common to this part seeing we had a regular fight path between Johanesburg and Khartoum. So I just mentioned this to my friends when it stopped and hung still for a short period and near shot off at right angles like a rocket from a gun. Now I must add this to my sighting for I feel it will tell a little of how some people see and others seem blind. I remarked to them the speed it took off and they both said it just kept on going. May I now point that a vapour trail was seen when it was travelling along a straight course but when it moved from its course and vanished so to speak , the vapour trail was ended and you could see very clearly an abrupt end to it. However it did take a very quick eye to discern the vapourless change and speed of U.F.O. Thank you so much for asking me about this almost forgotten sighting I had, I was a young man and this was my first year overseas away from my family in England. Kind regards. Brian.
