Case No 83 · UFO Afrinews No 9, February 1994

Flash of light from the kitchen curtain

1993 · Harare, Isabel's home, Zimbabwe

What was reported

Two days after her chat with Hind, prompted by reading Hopkins' Intruders, Isabel moved her kitchen curtain and a bright light, like sunlight focused from a mirror, burst out and shot off to the left of the veranda outside. She stresses she was not thinking about aliens at the time. Later that evening she felt a slight tingling in her spine. Reading the Hopkins book had also made her afraid to sleep and brought three nightmares about the faces she had seen and about abductions.
