Southern Africa Unexplained

Case No 50 · UFO Afrinews No 7, January 1993

Two women abducted while driving (Patricia and Deirdre)

1988 · South Africa, road to Patricia's home, Johannesburg, per Hind's conclusion on the two ladies abducted July 1988, South Africa

What was reported

Hind gives only an outline of a new case she says is full of problems. Two women, given the pseudonyms Patricia and Deirdre, were driving to Patricia's home at about 03:30 after working late on something due the next day. Patricia noticed a light behind them; they took it for a car until they saw it was a single light rather than headlights. It rushed at them at tremendous speed and enveloped the car, and they remember nothing more until later. What Hind stresses is that both independently recall a click just before the light overwhelmed them. In her conclusion she mentions interviewing two Johannesburg women allegedly abducted in July 1988, calling it one of the most detailed African abduction reports she has recorded; this appears to be the same case.

What Hind made of it

Hind says there are numerous problems with the case and gives only an outline; if the Johannesburg pair of July 1988 she interviewed in December 1992 are the same women, she believes the report is real and calls it one of the most detailed abduction reports she has recorded in Africa.

In their words

  • both women recall a 'click' sound just prior to the bright light overcoming them

    'Patricia and Deirdre' (No 7 outline, July 1988 Johannesburg pair) are 'Pat and Debra' of No 8: same 03:30 drive home, same single light overtaking the car, same click. Pseudonyms changed between issues.

    Click sound before the event; Hind's own article 'The Click Sound' in No 7 pairs Gamida's key-in-lock click with the two women's click as the light overwhelmed the car.
