Case No 23 · UFO Afrinews No 20, July 1999
UAP Effects: Bulawayo woman's forehead scar and exploding bulbs
1985 · Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
What was reported
Recalling Case 23 from issue 4, Hind describes a young Bulawayo woman who showed a small round scar above her right temple. One night in 1985 she had 'dreamed' of lying immobilised on a table-like bed in a large circular room made entirely of metal while figures in white or silver one-piece suits did something to her head, with many other occupied beds around her. Next morning she found a small circular blister on her forehead that left a vivid scar the size of a five-cent coin. She came to the investigators because she now seemed to affect electrical equipment: bulbs exploded near her and twice ceiling lights fell where she had been sitting seconds before. Implants were then unknown to Hind, and later letters went unanswered.
What Hind made of it
Hind regrets that implants were unknown to her then and that follow-up letters went unanswered.

Janet of BulawayoCase fileHind follow-up
20-17-2 explicitly recalls Case 23 of issue 4: the same Bulawayo woman, metal room of instrument-laden tables, figures in white or silver one-piece suits, a five-cent-coin blister above the temple, exploding bulbs and light fittings falling where she had sat. The date drifts from 'about six years' before a 1989 interview to '1985' between tellings; Hind's follow-up letters went unanswered. One event, two records.
Alarming AliensCase fileSame behaviour
Two Bulawayo women, thirteen years apart (1985, 1998), describe waking paralysed, lying on a table or slab in a metal room while human-looking figures in one-piece suits work on the body and others watch from occupied beds or benches, then physical sequelae (a scar and electrical effects; pus discharge and droning). Hind drew Kirsty's parallels to Mutare and Durban cases, not to the earlier Bulawayo woman, so the pairing is this analyst's, not hers.
