Marondera farm: ozone smell reproduced by rubbing stones (smells recap)

What was reported

Hind says she is aware of an ozone smell in several African cases and singles out one on a farm at Marondera, Zimbabwe, where the foreman, asked what the UAP had smelt like, demonstrated it by rubbing two stones together to make the sharp electric smell. This is the only detail given; the date and what was seen are not restated. She contrasts the ozone smell with the rotting-flesh odour attributed to the Varginha creatures in Brasil, something she has never met in Africa.

What Hind made of it
