UFO Encounter in Mutare 
  • Stuart's story
  • Stuart is not sure of the day, he knows it took place between 1987 / 88. He is a primary school teacher and was 25 / 26 years old at the time of the event.
  • Stuart explains that he was coming from the General Hospital in Mutare, walking towards Florida. It was around 19:00-1930 hours. On the way he had taken a short cut through an open area where horses are kept, but before he got to the path that leads to their field he saw this object in the sky about 100m up. A bluish gray, with a rugby ball shape with spikes on the side (see diagram). When he looked at it, he could not move or speak. The whole area seemed silent. Stuart in his letter to Cynthia Hind says: 'I seemed to be out of myself and it was very frightening. There were green, blue and a sort of orange-red lights around it which were flashing'.

  • After sometime the silence was broken and Stuart was able to move. ' I ran and ran; the object flew higher up and shot across the sky straight to the west, towards the Feruka Oil Refinery.
  •  
  • I arrived home sweating banging the door. I told my wife and work mates and they believed me. The next afternoon I phoned the local newspaper, the Manica Post, and they thought it was all a hoax.
