Case No 109 · UFO Afrinews No 12, July 1995

Bright light below cloud seen by Justin and Paul the week before

1994 ยท Not stated; on an earlier fishing trip (the later trip was to Shamva), Shamva or the Harare area (inferred, not printed), Zimbabwe

What was reported

Hind mentions that about a week before their Mandara encounter of 6 January 1995, Justin and Paul had already seen something odd, again while out fishing. It appeared as a very bright light below the clouds. Although intrigued, the boys did nothing about it and told nobody at the time. Only when the beam-like light and clearly cylindrical object appeared at Mandara, frightening them, did they report both events to Justin's mother and grandmother. No location, time or duration is given for the earlier light, and the date is only 'the week before', which places it around the end of December 1994. Hind records it as a precursor within Case 109.
