Case · UFO Afrinews No 21, January 2000

Meagan Quezet and the egg-shaped craft, Mindalore

1979 · Mindalore, Krugersdorp, T-junction of Saul Jacobs Street and Tindall Road, west of Johannesburg, South Africa

What was reported

Just before midnight Meagan, a nurse, and her sleepless son André followed their frantically barking dachshund Cheeky up Saul Jacobs Street. At the T-junction with Tindall Road a bright pink glow surrounded an egg-shaped metallic craft, flat underneath, with a lit doorway, straddling the 4.8 m road on thin spider legs with sucker pads, about 3.5 m tall. Five or six men in whitish hooded overalls climbed out speaking a high-pitched tongue; one with curly brown hair, a beard and tanned skin bowed and spoke to her. She said hello, laughed, then grew afraid and sent André running for his father. The men jumped back in, a bee-like buzzing sounded, the legs telescoped up, the craft hovered and shot into the clouds within 30 seconds. Under hypnosis she described boarding with André, later denying it. André died in an accident during national service.

What Hind made of it

Hind is certain Meagan and André told her the truth; Meagan later denied the boarding described under regression by a well-known Johannesburg psychiatrist and suspected Hind of hoaxing the tape, though Hind was not in the room.
