Soldier tells his story

This event takes place during the Liberation Struggle in Rhodesia, which in 1980 became an independent country called Zimbabwe. David Brown was one of an RLI (Rhodesian Light Infantry) in the Rhodesian army, when he had a strange and unforgettable experience.
It all happened a long time ago: between January and March, 1978. David cannot be more specific than that as he says, 'Time counted for nothing in the bush. Day after day, month after month, it was the same.'
The only thing David could connect to this event that took place after they had been ambushed at night and took a few casualties. One of the walking wounded, Twiggs, was half-carried, half-dragged by David through the night to safe ground. While struggling along, David had seen a large shape off to his left,silhouetted against the night horizons. The object was pitch black, with no lights visible. It looked as though it was on the ground but in the dark of the night it would be difficult to tell. It seemed to be wedge shaped, about 50 ft (14 metres) long by about 12 ft (4 meters) high. Whatever it was, it should not have been there! At day break they reached the pick-up point and were taken back to base. David was called into the Major's tent and debriefed on what he had seen. He was also asked to draw the object. He was then dismissed and nothing further was ever said.
A few week later David was sent out on patrol which ended in his horrific experience. David says, 'In other words, they found us before we found them.'
On that particular day, they had followed the general routine. Normally the soldiers took a break at mid-day for about and hour, but when they stood up to continue the patrol, David looked at his watch and it was 16:00 hours.
I stood up and put on my bergen (backpack) when a flash of light hit me. It came from an object just above the trees. It was metallic and elliptical in shape. It was hovering 100 metres away and no noise came from it. Then it shot away at an incredible speed without a sound. The strangest thing of all is that there I was in a combat situation and I never reacted to it. I did not say 'Take cover' or 'Hey , did you guys see that?' I said nothing and neither did anyone else.
It was only years later that David started having flashbacks; sudden pictures in his mind of events or something that had happened that day.
He says, 'As I finished putting my bergen on, I was approached by a dwarf in a cloak and hood. He said he would take into the forest where I would be given something. He led me away from the rest of the group who did not react at all to what was going on. He took me to a clearing in the forest where a ship was standing. The next thing I recall is standing in an empty room. He then found himself facing his double across the room. The double was wearing a blue cloak and hood. Next he recalls walking out in the forest with the dwarf by his side wearing his double's cloak. He then came upon his companions and took them with him back into the forest.
He remembers entering what seemed to be a hospital ward, besides being long, the room was also crescent-shaped, with beds filled with people, including his colleagues. At the foot of every bed was a container of unknown substance, with body parts of people; bloody and horrific.
These were initial memories recalled by David, most of them referring to his first abduction and his meeting with these strange people.
