Report from Jenny, of Bulawayo: the waterspout, the boat off Florida and the Ones in Blue

1974 · Bulawayo, Zimbabwe

What was reported

A year after her first journey, again in September, the man in white returned and flew Jenny over a blue sea that darkened under a violent storm. A gigantic waterspout loomed and below a small sailing boat was being sucked into the black centre of a whirlpool. She next stood in a small room with the boat's three young occupants, two men and a girl, dazed but unhurt, beside a crackling radio worked by a man in blue. The blonde woman from the earlier dream came in; a distressed voice mentioning Florida called over the radio. The woman said a way of transference back had been perfected, but warned that the 'cell-change' was irreversible. The girl chose to stay; Jenny then saw the two men lying in the boat on a calm sea. Years later a Scottish witness on Arthur C Clarke's television series described people in blue and Jenny cried out in recognition.

What Hind made of it

Printed without comment under Abductees in Southern Africa; Jenny insists she knew nothing of the Bermuda Triangle or Florida waterspouts until years later, and asks whether anyone else has seen people in blue.

Explanation offered
a dream; readers will say Bermuda Triangle, which Jenny says she had not heard of at the time

  • Report from Jenny, of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe: the octagonal building and the Turkish earthquakeCase fileSame witness

    Jenny's two September 'travelling dreams' a year apart (1973/74 and 1974/75) with the same silent guide in white and the same blonde woman in blue; both bring stabbing headaches when she tries to tell them. Printed together under Abductees in Southern Africa; one witness, so not two independent reports.

  • From Pat T., of Bulawayo: dream of a UAP landing in the driveway and The Janos PeopleCase fileSame behaviour

    Both dreamers later recognised their imagery in a broadcast or a book (people in blue on Arthur C Clarke's television series; brown-habited beings in The Janos People six weeks later). The 1956 Ntabazinduna witness finding his hill in Reader's Digest (02-04-1) is the waking analogue: three independent accounts in this cluster end with 'and then I found it in print'.
