La Rochelle: Clifford Muchena and the silver-suited beings (paralysis recap)

What was reported

Cited briefly in the paralysis section. At La Rochelle, Clifford Muchena had been watching a fireball with others when three beings in silver suits turned to face him; he was struck to the ground and could only move again once the beings and the fireball had gone. Hind notes the case was written up in UFO AFRINEWS No 2 and in various other publications, and uses it here as a second African example of the heaviness and immobility witnesses describe when approached by entities. No date is restated in this issue; earlier coverage places the event in 1981.
