Case No 121 · UFO Afrinews No 14, July 1996

A Flying House

1982 ยท South Downs (Munyasa), Chipinge, Shakavanhu Primary School, Zimbabwe

What was reported

Moses Munyanduki of Darlington, Mutare, wrote that he had seen many unidentified lights crossing the sky, most of which Hind thinks were satellites, meteors or sunlight on birds. He also passed on a story he had not witnessed: in 1982, while at Shakavanhu Primary School in the Chipinge area known as South Downs or Munyasa, he walked home one afternoon with friends who told of a 'flying house' that some said even had windows. Everyone living there at the time had heard of it or seen it, but he could make nothing of it and people simply put it down as a miracle. Hind asks readers from the South Downs area for any knowledge of the event and offers to refund postage.

What Hind made of it

Too long ago to assess; she appeals for local witnesses.
