UAP Effects: Stuart of Mutare, the missing rib and the suppurating ears

What was reported

A follow-up to the Mutare case of issue 17, which drew Hind into the implant question. In 1988 Stuart saw a football-shaped object while at a polo cross field, was temporarily paralysed, could not attract the attention of a girl playing on a porch a few metres away, and watched several horses frozen with heads raised. Afterwards his ears began to suppurate and he learned for the first time that he had a rib missing. He has no memory of being taken aboard; his wife believes the whole episode took about half an hour, though neither noted the time and Stuart felt he watched the object for a long while. Hind secured an eminent ear, nose and throat specialist to examine him, but when she visited in October 1998 the discharge had stopped and the examination was dropped.

What Hind made of it
