Encounter near Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, in March 1978

Location. Near Bulawayo Zimbabwe
Date: March 1978
Time: 1600

Several soldiers were out on a routine patrol, including one named David. While resting, David was putting on his backpack when a flash of light hit him. It came from an object just above the trees. It was metallic and elliptical in shape and was hovering 100 meters away, completely silent. Then it shot away at an incredible speed without a sound. Years later David started having flashbacks of what really happened. He remembers putting on his backpack when a dwarf in a cloak and hood approached him. The dwarf said he would take him into the forest where he would be given something. He was led away from the rest of the group, who did not react at all to what was going on. He was taken to a clearing in the woods where a ship had landed. His next recollection was of standing in an empty room. He then found himself facing his double (cloning?) across the room. The double was wearing a blue cloak and hood. Next, he recalled walking out in the forest with the dwarf by his side wearing his double’s cloak. He then came across his companions and took them along back into the forest. He remembers then 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.
