Edwin of Durban and the Confederation of Twelve Planets

What was reported

Opening her editorial, Hind recalls one of the earliest cases she handled. Edwin, a young man in Durban, said he was in touch with Valdar of the Confederation of Twelve Planets, one of many beings from the planet Koldas who broadcast to him regularly at home. Entities with names like Taylanz, Wy-Ora and Kashendo spoke kindly, offered to help humanity progress and promised to save people from an unspecified disaster with no date attached. Hind attended a session in which a Koldasian said an Earth-like planet was being prepared for those who would be rescued, so survivors could live in familiar surroundings. She now sets this apparently friendly contact against a darker reading of the visitors' intentions.

What Hind made of it

One of the benign contacts of her early career; she now asks how benign the visitors really are.

In their words

• they were here as friends and interested only in our welfare

• how benign towards the human race are these visitors?

  Both are Hind's printings of the same claim: Edwin, section foreman at a Durban radio factory, in radio contact with 'Valdar' of Koldas from 1961. 18-03-1 is her editorial recollection (Afrinews 18, July 1998) of 03-26-1's book review (Afrinews 3, May 1990). One claim, not two reports.

  Hind attended two Koldas broadcasts in Durban in her early career (18-03-1, 19-04-2), offered to pay for legal advice after the radio was confiscated, and never got to the bottom of it. Her engagement with the case spans roughly 1968 to 1999.
