Report from MB, Masvingo: taken aboard the craft at Vereeniging

1966 · Vereeniging, Vaal Triangle, south of Johannesburg, South Africa

What was reported

About two years after the first visit, around 1966, MB was lying quietly in bed in Vereeniging when a distant whirring grew and the same silver craft sailed in to hang over MB's face, humming like a hive of bees at night. Suddenly MB was inside, on a seat running round the cabin, looking down on ploughed fields and pebbles before the craft swept upward. Opposite sat an immaculately dressed, handsome man in a hat who stared without pause; everyone aboard wore large square-framed green spectacles, and one woman looked exactly like an English country-woman in headscarf, twin-set and brogues. A crew of workmanlike people ran machinery in a pit below. After a memory gap MB stood alone in a white room with an oval table under a green disc-light, wandered a corridor, found the craft again, and begged in terror not to be returned to Earth before waking in bed.

What Hind made of it

Printed without comment as one of the abduction letters; MB concludes the visitors belong to a higher dimension inaudible and invisible to ours, so investigating from this side will yield nothing.

a dream, which MB expects readers to dismiss it as with a giggle
