Report from MB, Masvingo: silver craft hovers over the bed at Vereeniging

1964 · Vereeniging, Vaal Triangle, south of Johannesburg, South Africa

What was reported

MB, writing from Masvingo, recalls an evening in Vereeniging around 1964 when a group of friends debated Elizabeth Klarer's claims of space visitors and MB declared that nothing could make such nonsense worth entertaining. A few hours later, in bed with the light off, MB became aware of a soft, fine vibrating sound and saw a round silver craft, domed with a row of portholes as sketched in the letter, race towards the bed and stop dead just above MB's face. It hung there for quite a long while, whirring and vibrating softly, and MB's only thought was that the visitors were real after all. Nothing more happened that night; MB regards it as the first of two visits by the same craft.

What Hind made of it

Printed without comment as one of the abduction letters; Hind notes that MB, like the others, had no knowledge of the abduction literature.
