Continuing Investigations: Update on Buckmasters Farm Case

What was reported

Hind returns to a May 1951 case first printed in Afrinews 3. T.P.F. had watched a soup-plate-sized object like two shallow elliptical dishes, one inverted on the other, greyish metallic and brighter on its western side. It stopped and hovered, silent and unlit; when he pointed it out, the driver of a passing vehicle gasped, jumped back in and drove off fast. The object then made a 90-degree turn and left towards Chinhoyi. T.P.F. has now sent three drawings: a discus-like silvery-grey shape low on the horizon with a dull sheen, no dome or portholes, in smooth even flight; the same at a higher angle five or six minutes later; and at about 80 degrees elevation, almost round, convincing him it was a sphere elongated only by viewing angle. It hovered three to four minutes before departing at right angles to its original path.

What Hind made of it

Hind has stayed in touch with T.P.F. and publishes his three drawings and captions as further detail on the original report.

In their words

• the driver of the vehicle gasped in horrified awe, got back into his car and drove off rapidly.

• Hovered for 3-4 minutes, then flew off at right angles to original flight path.

• it is plainly a complete sphere, circular in shape, only elongated due to angle of sighting.
