Macheke 1975: John Clark struck down by beam (paralysis recap)
1975 ยท Macheke, Zimbabwe
What was reported
Recapped in the UAP Effects article to illustrate paralysis. One night in 1975 at Macheke, John Clark left his house to fetch fish and chips from a store across the road and noticed a bright light in the trees towering above his home. The next thing he knew, a beam of light had flung him to the ground and pinned him there, fully aware but unable to move. When he could finally crawl back indoors, the roaring fire he had lit in the grate had burnt down to cold cinders, showing that hours had passed. Hind wonders aloud whether he spent that time outside or inside the craft.
What Hind made of it
Used as an example of the weighty, held-down paralysis witnesses report; she raises the possibility he was taken inside the craft during the missing hours.
In their words
-
the roaring fire he had lit in the grate was now merely cold cinders
