A disk ten meters in diameter, copper-colored, resting on the road.
Two policemen, John Lockem and Koos de Klerk, were on a patrol of the Pretoria-Bronkhorstspruit Road when their headlights illuminated a disk ten meters in diameter, copper-colored, resting on the road. Ten seconds later it took off in a pool of flames, at high speed. The tar on the road kept burning for some time. A hovering flying disc was observed. Ground traces were found. Men in black later interviewed witnesses. One orange saucer, about 40 feet across, was observed by two experienced male witnesses (as reported to the police) on a highway for 12 seconds (Klerk; Lockem; De Klerk).
