Abduction case in South Africa: a mother and daughter taken from their car

What was reported

A mother and daughter interviewed on South African commercial television described an abduction in July 1988, reported late because they did not know whom to approach. The Johannesburg Planetarium gave them a form but no follow-up; another contact led them to Elizabeth Klarer, who listened sympathetically as a fellow experiencer, and through a UAP group they met more knowledgeable people. Their account tells of being taken from their car into a craft and undergoing many varied experiences, which they have questioned with great attention to detail. Hind is preparing a full report for MUFON, Budd Hopkins, Joe Nyman and other American specialists and hopes to persuade the women to let her print their material in the next issue. Her editorial quotes them as wanting only to know whether it is real.

What Hind made of it

Hind calls it one of the finest abduction reports she has come across, certainly in Africa, and says it is closely allied to famous cases worldwide even though the witnesses had no access to confidential material known to investigators.

In their words

• We just want to find out if it's real.

• I think this is one of the finest abduction reports that I have come across, certainly in Africa!
