Case No 83 · UFO Afrinews No 9, February 1994

Bright star descending nightly over Isabel's new house

Harare, the family's second house, Zimbabwe

What was reported

After the family moved to a new house when Isabel was fifteen, their domestic helper, who used to sit outside her cottage in the evenings, told Isabel's mother that for more than a month a bright 'star' overhead came close to the house every evening, then rose slowly and abruptly sped away horizontally. Isabel herself no longer heard things at night in the new house. The report is second-hand, given in two sentences of Isabel's written account, but describes a month of repeat visits with a consistent pattern of approach, slow rise and fast horizontal departure.

In their words

  • this bright star overhead came close to our house; then it would rise up slowly, and suddenly speed off horizontally.
