Case No 48 · UFO Afrinews No 9, February 1994
Case No 48 in UFO AFRINEWS No 7 (hooded visitors, follow-up)
South Africa (town not given), South Africa
What was reported
A brief restatement of Case 48 from UFO AFRINEWS No 7: a South African woman of Islamic faith reports repeated visits by hooded people who rape her. During these episodes she is paralysed; though she screams and struggles, no sound emerges and she cannot move her body or limbs. British researcher Albert Budden writes that he can explain the case through the effects of external radiation on the witness's mind and body, noting that a sense of presence is a known effect of electrical fields on the temporal lobe reproduced by Persinger in 1990, and refers the other effects to his book The Electromagnetic Indictment. Hind offers space in future issues for logical alternative explanations.
