Case · UFO Afrinews No 10, August 1994
A farmer acquaintance remembers circles on his land
not stated (a farm known to the editors), not stated
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
When television companies and investigators in the USA and Britain asked Afrinews whether Africa had ever produced crop circles, the editors could think of only one lead. A farmer they knew said he remembered seeing circles of this kind on his own land, but he could not recall when they had appeared or what form they took, so the editors never replied to the enquiries. Neither the farmer's name nor the location of his land is printed, and no investigation followed. Hind mentions it only in passing, to show that until Chibanda's Botswana letter she had regarded the continent as free of the phenomenon, and that this vague recollection was the sole hint to the contrary she had come across.
What Hind made of it
