Edwin of Durban and 'George'

What was reported

In a footnote Hind notes that Edwin, a Durban man who alleges continuing contact with 'aliens', says his first contact was also with an entity called 'George', the same name used by the being who sent Jeff and Cathy their disc messages. Edwin described George as a good-looking, dark-haired man of about 30, and Hind has seen a picture of him, though she was asked not to publish it and never did. The overlap of names between two independent South African contact claims is left for readers to weigh; no dates or details of Edwin's experiences are given.

What Hind made of it

Noted as a curious overlap with the Jeff and Cathy case, whose 'George' was elderly and grey-haired; Hind honoured a request not to publish.

In their words

• I was asked not to publish this, and I never did.

  21-19-1's footnote says Edwin's first contact was 'George'; 03-26-1 says the workmate and fishing companion George revealed himself as Valdar. Internally consistent, and a fourth printing of the one claim.

• Contact by Remote Control: Jeff and CathyCase fileNamed person

  21-13-2 (Jeff and Cathy, 1996, 'a seaside town on the coast of South Africa', place withheld) is outside this cluster. Hind notes the shared entity name 'George' between Edwin's first contact and the disc messages; the two Georges are described differently (dark-haired man of about 30 versus elderly and grey-haired). Whether the seaside town is Durban is not stated.
