The Unexplained: From Laura (living in UK), Benoni

1986 · Cairngorm Caravan Park, Benoni, East Rand, Johannesburg, South Africa

What was reported

In 1986, staying at Cairngorm Caravan Park in Benoni, Laura woke at 3 a.m. in a trance-like state and saw two alien-like faces at the window waving furiously before they walked in through the wall. The room filled with golden light. The beings were about 1.70 m, slim, unclothed, hairless, transparent-opaque, with pear-shaped faces, deep-set eyes, two dots for a nose and no mouth, radiating love and peace. The larger, female, kissed her cheek, which was wet afterwards, and told her telepathically she was Laura's mother. They came three nights running, on the third bringing a metre-tall child, and left through the wall. Her husband Mike could not be woken. A year later, during a two-week coma, they returned. She later suffered many ailments and repeated miscarriages at three months, though her epilepsy never recurred.

What Hind made of it

No physical proof, but Hind finds Laura sincere, intelligent and not given to embellishing; her one quibble is the claimed origin, since aliens are always evasive or inconsistent about where they come from; included because such contacts are increasingly published yet very few are known in Africa.

Explanation offered
Laura first thought it a dream; hypnotic regression by a well-known UK group produced nothing and they were sceptical; she regards it as spiritual rather than nuts-and-bolts contact

  • Truth or fiction? We don't think we will ever know, but why don't they say?
