From Pat T., of Bulawayo: dream of a UAP landing in the driveway and The Janos People

Bulawayo (her home driveway, in a dream), Zimbabwe

What was reported

Pat T. has never knowingly seen a UAP awake but dreamt one: an almost transparent disc dived and landed on her driveway while she watched astounded from behind a small tree. A doorway opened, a short walkway extended, and a tall, very white, slightly stooped man in an oversized dark brown hooded monk's habit emerged carrying a brown-skinned boy of seven or eight who looked injured or unwell. Long fair or whitish hair showed under the hood; she thought the sun here must be too strong for him. He walked past toward her house and she woke. Six weeks later in Bulawayo Public Library she found The Janos People, describing fair-haired beings in brown habits rescuing survivors of a radiation disaster on their planet. Hind asks: dream or premonition?

What Hind made of it

Hind leaves it open with the question 'Dream, or premonition?'

Explanation offered
a dream; the later book find suggests premonition or coincidence

In their words

  • I remember thinking, this is unbelievable, a UFO of all things landing on our property.

    A tall, very white, stooped being in an oversized brown hooded monk's habit (Pat T., dream, undated) and a thin white being in a brown garment with green eyes (Kirsty, 1998). Pat T. then found the brown-habited rescuers of The Janos People in Bulawayo Public Library, a book available to both women.

  • Report from Jenny, of Bulawayo: the waterspout, the boat off Florida and the Ones in BlueCase fileSame behaviour

    Both dreamers later recognised their imagery in a broadcast or a book (people in blue on Arthur C Clarke's television series; brown-habited beings in The Janos People six weeks later). The 1956 Ntabazinduna witness finding his hill in Reader's Digest (02-04-1) is the waking analogue: three independent accounts in this cluster end with 'and then I found it in print'.

    Identical coordinates (-20.1594, 28.5872) are a geocoding placeholder for central Bulawayo, not a shared location: Pat T.'s driveway is neither located nor dated. Not a real connection; recorded so the shared point is not read as one.
