Case · UFO Afrinews No 10, August 1994

Trees strung with lights on a Chinhoyi footpath

Chinhoyi, footpath by Uncle Steve's shop, Zimbabwe

What was reported

The same correspondent adds a second episode from Chinhoyi, where the witness was staying with brothers at their Uncle Steve's house. Steve and his wife kept a shop on a dust road that was really no more than a footpath. Along that path the witness's sister-in-law saw every tree, as far as her eye could reach, apparently ablaze, as if someone had festooned them with a great many light bulbs. She was thoroughly frightened, and warned that anyone using that road after dark would find the lights running about in the darkness. No date is given and nobody else is said to have seen it. Hind prints it alongside the Avondale glowing trees purely as a request for readers' comments, not as a UAP case.
