Case · UFO Afrinews No 7, January 1993
Peter and Frances sighting, June 1st 1974
1974 ยท Mvuma, road from Harare to Beit Bridge, Masvingo (Fort Victoria); Beit Bridge, Zimbabwe
What was reported
In the early hours of 1 June 1974 Peter, 23, and Frances, 21, left Harare for Durban in a sound Peugeot 404 with new retreaded tyres. Near Mvuma at about 02:15 they passed a roadside figure they took for a policeman until they saw its shiny metallic look. Soon a light revolving like a lighthouse appeared in the sky. The headlights and interior lights faded, lifting off the accelerator did not slow the car, and the cabin turned so cold they piled on jerseys, though the Masvingo garage attendant was in shorts and vest. The light followed them to Masvingo and vanished. Towards Beit Bridge there were two objects, the bush seemed to become swampland and Peter lost control at 190 km/h. Under hypnosis he sensed someone in the back seat who could appear as anything he wished.
What Hind made of it
Hind calls it a most interesting case, fully reported in her book and in FATE magazine, January 1977.
In their words
-
When Peter lifted his foot from the accelerator, there was no reduction in speed.
-
he could see whatever he wanted to see: he could see a duck, or a monster.
