PROJECT 1947

Two people were working late at the airport, just after dark, when they observed what appeared to be a flying saucer hovering over the control tower.  There were "portholes" around it and shapes inside that seemed to be moving around. There was a humming sound. It appeared to change colours then shot up into the air at great speed.

A group of five men and a woman were on the doorstep of a house when an oval-shaped object appeared in the sky at what seemed to be close range.  It travelled in a downward curve initially, then pulled out of the curve going upwards.  Finally it disappeared like a light being switched off.  A cloud of yellow smoke was noted from its rear.  Five of the people said they thought they had seen shadows inside the object, through "portholes."

A school teacher and her children reported an orange glow on the ground at an estimated distance of three to four kilometres away from them. Despite this distance her son insisted he could see an oval shape with windows, legs and two "men". The teacher could only see a glow.

A farmer's wife observed an unusual object approaching the house and hovering close by it. She saw a "man" standing at a "wooden railing" inside the object. It eventually departed into the sky.

Mrs Audrey W's children, aged 5 and 7, were playing on the front verge with their neighbour's children, more or less the same age. It was dusk but not dark. Suddenly their chickens created a great commotion, and their dog flew into a frenzy, its hair standing on end. The children came running in very excited and declared they had seen "priests" looking out of portholes at them, from a funny round thing, with a round thing on top. The children went on to describe the occupants of the craft wearing dark "shirts" with round, white collars. Apparently this saucer shaped object dipped downwards towards the children before speeding off north towards Perth.

A movie film was shot of a light in the sky.  Upon developing and playing it some frames were sent to the US for enlargement.  These enlargements were said to show an object with an illuminated window.  In this window a shape was seen to move across.

Early one morning a man arose and upon going outside observed what appeared to be a Zeppelin hovering over Table Cape.  Through windows he saw people moving about.  He went back inside.

A twenty one year old woman walking home across a small park saw an object about 100 metres away.  It was moving at low speed.  Arriving home she got out a telescope and saw it as a disc with a square window on the top portion.  In this window she watched a black figure with arms outstretched, silhouetted by yellow light.

John Squire said he and some friends noticed a huge ball of fire appear in a paddock, about 100 metres away.  Suddenly the fire went out and a row of lights flickered on, and they saw a huge disc.  Windows were evident and through them human-shaped beings could be seen moving about.  After five minutes the object rose and left.

A woman and her young daughter in a taxi, reported seeing three tall humanoids in a football-shaped object which hovered over a floodlit field.  The taxi driver then drove the witnesses away.

Two men were out camping at three in the morning and watched a light moving around.  They flashed a spotlight on it, and it moved and came to rest 200 metres away only thirteen or so metres above the ground.  One man approached it to within thirty metres.  It was described as twenty metres wide by eight metres deep, with windows.  Through the windows he said he could see a silhouette of a human form looking out.  The man then retreated to his companion.

Two people sitting in a car noticed what they described as a brightly lit railway carriage.  They could see six or more separate lights in which shapes or figures were visible, giving the impression of passengers, facing the front motionless.  The lights were moving silently northward.  After five minutes the object was lost in the distance.

Four people, in three separate vehicles, reported seeing an orange object in a clearing on a deserted stretch of country road.  A man driving alone reported seeing an orange, rectangular shape on the side of the road.  A young couple said they saw a three metre high by two metre wide rectangular shape. One of them said they saw a two metre tall "man" in a white space-suit floating in the middle of the rectangular shape.  The other saw an orange rectangle with a white blob on top of it.  Later, a semi-trailer driver reported to police that as he passed a clearing he noted what looked like an open doorway and a figure.  The police checked the clearing by going there within an hour, but found nothing to account for the observations.

Mr A. Richardson and his two children were travelling in a vehicle when the two children said they saw a large object "wobbling" over a house. It was complete with windows and a dark shape inside. Their father saw only a small light moving soundlessly away by the time he pulled the car up.

Travelling home a man and his wife saw an approaching light.  It became a large silver cigar with short stubby wings and a cabin.  Inside this cabin were five entities in silver coloured suits.  Green, red and blue instrument panels were seen.  The witness reportedly filmed the object on movie film.  However when the film came back from processing this piece was missing.

A man got up to attend to a young child and saw what he took to be an aircraft coming down.  Going to a nearby oval he found an object close to the ground.  Through "windows" he saw motionless "shapes" inside.  There was a humming sound. The object then took off.

Some school-aged children at a youth camp heard a noise and saw a spinning dome with flashing lights and windows.  In the centre window a figure was seen.  It was thin, had a large collar, an arm to the right and moved its head.  The object then moved away.

A misty egg-shaped object was only one metre above the ground some fifteen metres away from a man.  Described as two and a half metres tall by one and a half metres wide the object revealed a figure inside it.  The figure seemed 175 centimetres tall, normally proportioned.  The witness ran home.  Looking backwards he saw the object had left.

The witness reports that when about 15 years old she was staying at a friend's farm, when she felt an urge to look outside and saw a bright light to the north.  She and her friend went outside, and the light resolved itself into a grey squarish shape with windows and flashing lights.  Visible through the window at the front were black human-like figures.  The object lost height and was obscured from view.

Brenda and her daughter were driving when they saw a large boomerang shape.  The car's engine stopped as the object hovered above them.  The daughter saw humanoids inside the object.  The object then shot off at speed.

An artist looked up to see a "helmet"-shaped object hovering over him. Although there were no windows in the object the witness somehow "saw" a "cloaked" figure visible. The object vanished after 1-2 seconds.

A farmer claimed that a saucer-shaped object landed in one of his paddocks. As the farmer approached the object, a man in strange clothing emerged from it. The farmer walked towards the man, who shone some kind of 'torch' at him, throwing him to the ground and stunning him. When he came to, the man and the object had gone. The hand where the "torch beam" had hit him was paralysed for life.

Mrs A was out with her dog rounding up cattle on a property. She saw an unusual object resting on 4 legs. Three figures floated down from underneath the object. They were described as normal adult height. Normal human facial features, with very clear, blue eyes. Their skin seemed smooth. Clothing was a tight fitting, silver coloured suit with silver boots and a hood over their heads.

She went willingly inside the object. Telepathic conversation ensued. She was then floated back out of the object, which left marks on the ground.

Members of the Unmatjera tribe of Aborigines reported seeing two shiny circular objects on the ground, some nine to fifteen metres across. A very small man-like creature wearing a shiny suit with bulbous head is said to have transferred from one object to the other. Both objects then took off making a buzzing sound.

A Mr Hall was inspecting sheep when he heard a whirring noise. He then saw six tiny white dots in the sky which landed. Close-up they were ten metre tall cylinders with a rim or ramp around their bottom. About a dozen "men" got out and formed a group. They then re-entered the objects and took off. Mr Hall reportedly blacked out and had a vision of his property as a "fertile paradise." He says within two months this had occurred.

A schoolboy reported seeing a UFO land on a beach and being approached by two occupants. They apparently spoke to the lad, who subsequently developed a high IQ but was difficult to control.

A young boy reportedly saw a large oval saucer descending into a paddock in a busy suburb in broad daylight. A tall figure emerged from it and walked around for a while before re-entering the object. The object took off, observed by the initial witness and another boy.

A strange pink cloud was reported. The woman then saw a snow white flying saucer. A shiny ladder was lowered from a hatchway and a man came down and sat on a rung of the ladder. He shone a beam of light into the sea. The ladder and man were retracted and the object sped off.

A story circulated about a disc landing and a hairy dwarf being seen to jump out and disappear into the ground.

A craft twelve metres in diameter and three metres high was seen by a man. He approached the craft and saw a being about one point six seven (1.76) metres tall, with long hair and youngish features, wearing silver coloured clothes. The man spoke to the being for three minutes, and the being responded in English. The being indicated he came from Saturn. After a while the object left.

Awoken by the frenzied barking of their dog, a migrant family heard a noise like a big swarm of wasps.  Going outside their caravan they saw a twenty five to thirty metre "sombrero hat" shape giving off a violet glow.  Three "men" descended in a tiny craft similar in shape to the large one.  These men seemed to be three times the size of a normal human being.  They gave off a violet-yellowish glow, as they collected plants and sugar cane which were sucked up into the large craft via transparent tube.  After ten minutes the men re-entered their ship which took off.  As it did so the hair on the family's heads and arms stood up.

A thirty-two year old woman was a passenger in a semi-trailer travelling across to Perth.  She had been asleep for about an hour when a "voice" called her name and told her to look out the window.  She did so and saw an egg shape surrounded by a "force field" on the ground.  The figure of a man was walking towards the egg, while another man was sitting inside the object.  The first man entered the egg and the glow died down, leaving only one white light on.  The driver pulled up the truck but when asked, said he had seen nothing.  They did not go back to check the spot.

An elderly farmer presented with an extremely complex and lengthy story of an encounter, during which he had seen a spherical object on the ground together with three or four men.  The men were about three metres tall and had floated to the ground.  They wore glowing silver suits which covered their whole bodies up to the neck.  There were no apparent facial features, and they had small heads.  A "chute" came down from the side of the object and metal cases came down it.  Cattle were then unloaded and taken away by normal looking men.  Doctors diagnosed mild paranoia and schizophrenia.

Two men were out fishing when a UFO reportedly appeared. One of the men said the same thing had happened to him some weeks previously and that a figure had been seen on that occasion.

A silver suited being, 165-175cm tall, with a black visor, white boots and a box with a figure eight on its chest, was reportedly seen in a back yard.  When the single reporter approached the entity it flew off and entered a cigar-shaped object which had been sitting in the sky.  Some traces were said to have been found.  However, when investigators arrived there were no traces visible.

Claims were made by a motorist that they had seen a UFO land and disgorge a figure down a ramp.  The figure then re-entered the object which took off vertically.

Several beings were said to have descended from the sky in three slim cylinders, being seen by a prospector.  The figures, both male and female, played games with lightning balls, dematerialised and materialised and told him they came from Begua.  Both sexes appeared human though their skin was of a bluish colour.  They stopped with him for two days before leaving in their vehicles.

Whilst travelling down a country road, a man came across an artefact resting near the roadside.  He saw that a "man" was apparently working on it, and went over to offer assistance.  The stranger turned as if surprised and pointed something at the witness, who was knocked senseless.  When he came to, the object and the man had gone.  Subsequently, he found that his memory was never the same again.

A lady and her sister were putting out the dog when they became aware of a very bright light.  As it moved away they could see "little green men" sitting on a ledge on the side.  The men were singing in what appeared to be unintelligible words to the tune of "Three blind mice."  The disc shaped object was visible for a few moments, then moved off to the west.

Three young men returned to Melbourne with what they said was the picture of an entity.  They said they saw a shiny object fall to the ground.  After searching they found jagged pieces of shining metal and saw a moving figure fifty metres away.  It was said to resemble a frog from the back and semi-human from the front.  It had a green cloak hanging to just below the knees.  Its feet and hands were armour-plated.  After photos were taken the thing just disintegrated before their eyes.

This well-documented sighting had thirty eight witnesses.  A brilliant light was seen to approach a mission station.  It appeared to be hovering some 100m up and was solid and circular, with a wide base and a narrower upper deck.  At a number of intervals a shaft of light came from the object and shone into the sky on a forty five degree angle.  As the group watched, "men" came out onto the deck.  There were four "men" in all.  Eventually the spotlight and the men disappeared, the object moved through cloud and was lost to view.

Another disc was seen with two smaller objects also present.  Four figures appeared on top as per the previous night, although this time they were observed to respond to waves from the priest and natives.  The disc also seemed to respond to torch signals by wavering like a pendulum.

A milkman was walking along a beach south of Sydney when he came upon a strange metal disk surrounded by a violet light and making a whining sound.  Two men suddenly appeared, both dressed in space suits complete with transparent helmets.  Their eyes were blue and they had an Oriental slant.  They allegedly addressed the milkman in perfect English, although their lips did not move.  He said their voices seemed to come from square boxes on their belts.  After warning the milkman that entities from Orion were preparing to take over the Earth, they said they had been able to contact him because of his aura.  They promised to return and contact him again at some time in the future, stating that he "was going to be used for a certain job."  The witness told no-one about his alleged encounter for two years, but finally his story leaked out and was investigated by Colin McCarthy and other Australian ufologists.

Awoken by a buzzing noise, a woman looked outside her house and saw a bright light coming from a round object. She then noted an entity, one to one point two (1-1.2) metres tall, of average build, of normal humanoid appearance, wearing a dull olive-green skin tight suit with a helmet and white/grey footwear approaching the house, looking at the ground. When he was some three metres away from her, she went off to get her son. However, when they both returned nothing unusual was to be found.

Mr. F. Reynolds and his son were camping and saw an unusual sight by a river. It appeared to be a large "caravan" with four windows and a red light nearby. About four "persons" were moving between a "fire" and a "van." Looking through binoculars they noted the whole van and fire seemed to move sideways in a jerking manner. He looked out again later but there was nothing visible. An inspection of the area revealed a mud flat without any traces.

An 11 year old female reported a "deep humming" sound coming from the backyard of her house. She reported sighting a disc-like object some 6-8 m above the ground, which then landed. It was 4-6m across and silver in colour. Next morning her father complained about the burnt garden. The neighbour's son, aged about 8-10 years, said that at the same time he had seen a 1-1.3m tall entity in his bedroom. Described as having a large head, and thin body it stayed for a while in the room. The boy fell asleep.

A Mr Bishenden reported that he and a friend went for a drive on a hot night. At one stage they saw a circular-shaped object in a clearing in a paddock. A red, pulsing light came from rectangular windows. A 240 centimetre tall luminous entity was seen. This had a conical head and had its right hand on its hip. When this entity approached, the witnesses then left.

Ron Hyde was motorcycling between Melbourne and Sydney when he was suddenly engulfed in a blue/white flash.  He stopped his bike, and when his eyes cleared he saw about thirty metres away in a clearing, a metallic object hovering a metre off the ground.  It resembled two saucers, one inverted on top of the other, separated by a three metre band of metal.  On top of the object was a small dome two metres tall.  Yet again on top of this was a flat topped ball, about twenty five centimetres deep.  Mr Hyde turned away for a second and upon looking back two silver clad figures, 152 centimetres tall, were present. Helmets resembling opaque fish-bowls hid their faces.  The witness took a step in their direction and the figures did the same.  Then one figure beckoned him.  He panicked, jumped on his bike and raced off, only to be followed by the object, before it finally shot off into the air.

Two girls went out to see why the family dog was barking. They rushed into the house in a frightened state saying they had seen a small man walking out the side gate. The whole family went outside and then saw a large red circular object hovering over the front gate. After five minutes it moved away.

A noise which sounded like a "whirr" woke up a woman, who then looked out of a window to see an unusual object in an adjacent area.  It appeared about 100 metres away, and was some ten metres across.  A "man" emerged from the shadows and walked around the object.  This figure was about one point eight (1.8) metres tall, lean, had light coloured hair and wore white overalls.  He walked around the object several times before the woman ran to get neighbours.  When they all returned the object had gone.

A group of people in a car were returning home after a late party. They were reportedly followed by a disc-shaped object, which extended a ladder below it.  A man-like figure was seen.

A hiker was woken from sleep by a loud humming.  In a clearing he saw an egg-shaped structure, glowing with white light.  Dark, man-like figures were moving about the object.  The figures disappeared into the object, the glow died down and the object left.

Two young men saw an animate object of humanoid appearance floating through trees in a sort of mist, only some twenty metres away.  It had a dog-like head, pointed ears and a long nose.  It was some two meters tall with a lumpy body.  The men moved to another point where they saw a large object, the size of a truck, resting on the ground.  It was shaped like a half sphere and had windows.  The object just dissolved away.

Six young people encountered an object on a hill near their vehicle, and after driving along a while they heard thumping noises on the roof.  Following this the car's engine caught fire.  Later a huge "shadow" of a human-like form approached them.  It appeared to be a three-metre tall "robot", which then vanished.  Walking back past the hill where the object had been, they noted nothing unusual this time.

A man out driving became aware of six objects on the side of the road, ahead of the car, which turned out to be six figures.  They were a soft grey colour.  One held up a hand, and its face was seen to be obscured by a sort of "affected" covering.  After seeing the figure, and a large silvery object on the opposite side of the road, the man accelerated away.  During the encounter he said he heard a noise like "p-doing, p-doing".

Two young women felt compelled to drive to a certain location, escorted by a bright light source.  Vague human forms were seen during the event.

A builder was amazed to see three figures standing on the rim of an approaching dome-shaped object.  The figures were one and a half metres in height, of normal human proportion and covered in a one piece garment.  He said they remained motionless as the object travelled past him some thirty metres distance, at a speed of fifty km/h.  Two to three minutes later it was lost to view over hills.

A group of people were camping.  During the night, one family who were sleeping as a group in a station wagon noted an unusual light in the sky.  The next morning one girl mentioned she had seen a "face" at the window during the night.

A woman, her daughter and a child in a car came across a lighted object on the road ahead.  They slowed down and a group of some four to six entities with pointed heads and no discernible facial features surrounded the car.  A beam of light shone on the car. They drove away at speed.  It is said that the woman received permanent damage to one of her eyes.

Two young couples were parked in a car.  Unusual noises were heard and a "thing" seen.  The figure, appearing to be that of a man, approached. Seeming to be about 140-170cm tall, with no hair, and "fly's eyes" it also had a round mouth, and huge legs.  The group left the area.  A rectangular burnt orange coloured light had been seen out to sea just before the figure approached.

A group of eight people went out to look for some lights which had reportedly landed near the town's rubbish dump.  Upon arrival they saw round, pulsating, green and red lights.  Around them appeared to be mist and something which appeared to be of human size was observed.

Mrs M was watching television about midnight when a voice in her head told her to go to the park, where she would see a UFO.  At the park she waited an hour then saw five lights in the sky.  One of the lights came closer and appeared to be some sort of craft which hovered 6m above the ground.  A woman's voice came from the craft and told her to sit under a nearby tree, which she did.  She then saw a human male figure, dressed in a white T-shirt and shorts, standing looking at her.  She was holding a flower, and the woman's voice told her to give the flower to the stranger.  At this point she blanked out and does not remember anything else.  Several days later she went back to the Park and saw a circle burnt into the grass, which was visible for about three years.

Two teenagers stated that a large object rose over trees, then descended.  Their car was illuminated by torch beams.  Beings with long arms started to walk towards them.  The teenagers left at speed.

Two children reported hearing a knocking on the French windows of their house one morning.  They told their parents they saw 2-3 little people, about 3 inches tall, tapping on the window.  On the brick paved courtyard were 2 black, triangular craft, also very diminutive.  The parents went to investigate but found nothing.  Both children independently drew what they had seen and their drawings matched.

Andy, who works on the drag line of an open cut mine, felt someone was watching him.  He noted two average sized people dressed in silver body suits.  They turned away, and about 5 minutes later, a UFO took off at great speed and disappeared.

Witness woke in early hours to find room lit up by light.  She had a feeling she must go outside.  From there she saw that the source of light was a brilliant, long, elliptical shape 50m away in a paddock.  Standing in the garden was a tall, thin figure estimated over 2m tall.  The figure beckoned the witness with its left hand.  The witness approached and then becoming afraid retreated.  She threw some furniture from the verandah, at which point everything went dark as her companion came out to see what was going on.

About a week later, she awoke again and felt compelled to go outside.  There was the figure, but no object.  The same metallic smell was present.  The 2m tall, thin figure seemed surrounded by a bright mist.  It looked to be wearing a one piece, silver suit with a band around the waist.  It had long, wrap-around eyes that sloped at the outside, and flat, pointed ears.  Also present were two smaller rounded figures to either side.  They were less than a metre tall, fat in the body with small arms and legs.  They moved in a jerky fashion.  The witness retreated into the house, despite a feeling she should follow the figure.

Kim Marks (6) was preparing for bed when he claimed he saw a "man" in a red jacket and trousers, with white trimmings inside his bedroom.  About 150cm tall, the man was crimson-faced.  The boy said he watched for a minute and a half while the dog present did not react.

Girl aged 11 reported hearing a deep humming noise and saw a disk shape descending near the ground.  It landed in the back yard.  It was a round saucer-shape.  She then went to sleep.  The son of a neighbour reported seeing "green men" in his room.

Whilst getting a drink a man saw a small face pressed against the window.  It had no hair and was the shape of a small saucer.  The man was drawn towards the face.  His wife ran in to see her husband disappearing horizontally through the now-broken window.  He landed outside.

One of three university students living on a farm saw a "monk in a shroud with a void for a face" some 5m from the house.  All three men then saw the monk disappear into a "flash" which then entered one of them causing them to become ill.  Later the flash re-emerged from the man.

Waking up, with his brother still asleep in the same room, a man saw two figures in the room with him.  The two "men" suspended off the floor were swaying from side to side.  They had large, bald heads, slit-like eyes, lipless mouths and small flat noses.  Finally, one let out a high pitched whine and both faded to nothingness.

Two men were driving when they saw a "min min" light.  Later that night their camp was buzzed by lights and they went after them.  In a wooded area they came across red glowing eyes, with no form at a height of 6m.  They left the area after being besieged by strange sounds and footsteps.

A retired woman, not certain whether she was dreaming or not, saw a creature on the balcony of her apartment.  She described it as the size of a man but looking like a giant bee.  In the background was a little white bubble-shaped object.  Telepathic communication occurred over quite a lengthy period.  This all finished; she then felt as if she had woken up, got out of bed and went to the window where she saw an object present for a few seconds.

A woman was out with her dog when she noticed two, short, glowing beings with no apparent clothes, and dark eyes.  During the event the beings "seemed to reassure her mentally."  The entities then faded and were no longer present.  The event seemed to occupy one and a quarter hours, but to her lasted only 5 minutes.  The next day, the same woman saw three similar beings, in bush land.

A sixty-seven year old woman recounted how at age fifteen she had seen a sixty centimetre (60cm) tall, pink creature.  It had large ears, a slit mouth, big bulbous eyes and small hands.  It was bald and shiny.  She said her father wrapped the creature in a net and put it outside.

A nurse attended an injured man in a remote area.  "Two men appeared" and performed an operation on the man.

A section of road sports a tradition of unusual activity including a "white, glowing man-like creature, so tall, its head snapped off branches."  Other accounts include ghosts and spheres of light.

Three teenagers were riding bikes when a figure was seen 20m away.  It had the outline of a hazy human shape, 180 cm tall, dressed in a robe and floating above the ground.  One boy felt a vague sense of communication, but all three fled the area.

Following several UFO sightings a hiker came across several man-sized figures in "space-suits."  They appeared to be searching the ground with strange metal devices.  Later three soldiers were reported to have disappeared in the area.

(Date could be 2 Jan 1953).  A ghastly animal, 2m in length with a peculiar head and eyes, and a long scaly body was reportedly seen.  It hissed at residents from the top of a tree, leapt and disappeared.

A second-hand story about two school boys who told their parents they had seen two little men.  These men were wearing very unusual clothes, and had something dangling from their belts on both sides that were not revolvers.

A sixty-five year old barmaid recounted an event.  On a hot night a man walked in wearing a raincoat and scarf.  Once in the bar he asked for a rum.  Later he seemed drunk and he was being shown to the door by a male attendant when he disappeared.  The man was of average size, had a smooth face and smooth grey hands.

A woman in a rural setting awoke to notice her bedroom illuminated. Suddenly, a 160cm tall being appeared wearing blue green overalls, a brown balaclava, and an open brown jacket.  He wore elbow length, black gloves, with a cord from his helmet to left shoulder.  He had a red face and a big nose.  He held a black box which buzzed and clicked as he pointed it.  She sank back into bed and fell asleep.

The night of seeing an unusual object, Mr Campbell felt an invisible presence with him.  Eventually he spoke to it and it became visible.  Blue and yellow shimmering striations began to take on a humanoid form and then reverted into nothing.

A number of reported sightings of three "men" in silver uniforms were made.

Mr. and Mrs Hector Davis were asleep in their camper when Mr. Davis awoke with a "suspicious feeling."  Looking toward a tree about 12 ft away he saw a small man 4.5 ft tall in the tree approximately 6 ft off the ground.  The being had long blond hair and bright blue eyes and was dressed in a one-piece suit of gray color, including gloves and shoes, and corrugated all over.  He wore a kind of cap with an antenna, from which came a faint glow.  Mr. Davis jumped up and the figure, who had been watching the sleeping couple, stared guiltily and floated from the tree, travelling across the road 40 ft away and about 2 ft off the ground, moving with a slight undulation, legs swinging, like walking away, only not touching the ground.  He was lost to view in the distance.  The encounter lasted approximately a minute.  Mrs Davis was asleep throughout.

Between 1974 and 1972 a dozen observations of a brilliant white light were made near an abandoned railway crossing.  About the same time a couple saw a ghost -- a transparent man.  The man had suddenly appeared, wearing a flannel shirt and dungarees, with a broad hat.

Two people in a car saw a strange creature standing in shallows.  120cm tall, with dark grey, tough leathery skin.  It had small front legs and walked on its hind legs.  It went into scrub.

Driving, when ahead of them appearing to move between two houses they saw figure like a large man.  It was on the ground and covered an area of approximately 10-15 feet in two strides.  No actual face nor hands.

Three people in a car saw a "man" bathed in a luminous glow.  One hand was outstretched and from it a ball of light bounced up and down.  Then the three were surrounded by thousands of small lights arranged in rows.  The three left the area.

Three "dwarfs", 105cm tall, in very baggy clothes, were seen at close range walking along looking in shop windows.  They were very thin, their skin was deep brown and wrinkled.  Pointed ears and short hair completed the description.

A woman lying in a caravan bed saw the figure of a woman enter the caravan head first through the roof hatch.  After 3 minutes of floating around the figure floated slowly upward and out of the hatch.

Three youths claimed they were attacked by a 2m furry creature after seeing two shining eyes in bush.  They left the area.

It was claimed that a school teacher had met the occupants of a UFO and that afterwards he had gained ESP powers.

Stories circulated about a crashed object and a female entity.  Upon personal investigation it is believed the story was a hoax.

A car with six men stopped by the roadside.  They reported seeing a humanoid figure emerge from the bush.  Described as having white/grey skin, skinny figure, no hair and movements like an insect.  Large red eyes.  The body appeared to glow.  It came running at the six men, who got in the car and left at speed.

An outline of a woman in a dress from the last century was seen.  It went away as he called others to see it.  One other man said he saw only an oval area of light.  This pulsed until fading to nothing.

Reports of a hairy gorilla-shaped animal were made by several people, together with mutilated animals and UFOs.

Two shooters heard something in the bush.  They then saw a black figure, like a human being, running.  It looked 220cm tall, at a distance of 50m, running faster than human.

A milkman saw a figure 150cm tall by 75cm wide at the back of his ute (truck).  The white shape floated away from him.  The milkman left the area.

Just after going to bed a woman saw a figure in the house.  She called out the name of her young son thinking it might be him but it wasn't.  The figure transformed into an intense white light which streaked out through the window of their daughter's room.

A Mr Wood on returning from a party heard a sound like electronic music.  A second later his field of vision was lit up and he saw a large figure in profile, as if on a movie screen.  The figure was facing to the right and slowly turned towards Mr Wood.  It appeared to be male, with fairly closely cropped hair.  A tight-fitting jacket and light coloured trousers were also visible.  It seemed three metres tall and perhaps as wide as three people.  Mr Wood braked the vehicle and seemed to go through the screen.

After bogging his car, a hunter saw two figures walking 100m away from him.  Wearing white jumpsuits, they were 120cm tall, and human in appearance.  After the figures stared at him, the hunter left the area.

Driving around a roundabout a man swerved to avoid a collision with a 135-150cm tall figure of a dark complexion.  Upon looking back there was no one there.

A taxi driver travelling along at 30-40Km/hr saw a green shape stop in the centre of the road.  There was a high-pitched squeal, static on the two way radio and then the shape disappeared.  The incident was reported to police but upon inspecting the spot nothing unusual was found.

A woman resident outside saw two figures 15m away.  Human shaped, 75cm tall.  The front figure had on its upper half a light coloured T-shirt effect.  No hands nor feet were visible. She left the figures there and went to bed.

During the night a woman saw 5 'men in black' outside her unit, after dogs woke her up.  She heard a high pitched chattering apparently coming from the men.  They were wearing what she described as all over wet suits, like divers, and they were of normal human height.  One of them turned round and she received a telepathic message to go back to sleep which she did.

In a remote area three hunters returning from an expedition were suddenly confronted by a huge human-like figure about 2 meters tall.  One of the men shot at the being but it vanished, leaving behind a powerful, horrible smell.  One of the hunters was sick for several hours afterwards.

Whilst awake in bed, a German woman became aware of a high-pitched sound.  An entity was suddenly seen estimated as 60-70cm tall.  It was semi-transparent and wore a bright green neon belt and a green ring.  The woman moved, the entity touched its belt and simply vanished.

A radio news item told how a 16 year old girl had seen and photographed an "alien."  Later, another news item reported that the photographs were of a plastic mannequin.

A man and his son out hunting firewood saw a jet black object close by.  The "thing" had no arms and on either side of the head were two white patches where eyes might have been.  It was estimated to be some 3½ m tall.

Four people travelling in a vehicle reported they saw a very tall person in a silver suit who stepped out at the side of the road.

A man reported having an encounter with an alien.  Two days later he found an elliptical ring of burnt grass on his property.  Two days prior to this his son had heard someone walking on the gravel outside the house.  The burn mark had a major axis of 3m and a minor axis of 2.1m and was about 15cm wide.

A four year old girl told her mother that "frogmen" came and visited her.  Three figures came through window in a mist.  They had big eyes, frog skin.  Poked the girl. Scorch mark reported on lawn and tree foliage reported burnt.

The witness had gone into his bedroom to get ready for bed and had the immediate feeling that he was not alone in his bedroom.  It was a warm night so he slept on top of the bedding.  At 0230A he woke up for no apparent reason and all of the sudden a strange feeling overcame him as if time had stopped.  (He had felt the same in the previous encounters).  There was no sound anywhere and not a bit of movement in the room.  As he laid on his bed feeling very relaxed he was grabbed by the left and right arms between the elbows and shoulders and pulled down into his bed.  It was as if something was under his bed and its arms were coming through the bed.  At this stage he was not worried but his legs started to rise together and he could not stop them.  He attempted to break the grip but was grasped even tighter.  He began to struggle and to yell obscenities. The witness then yelled "go to the light" "go beneath the earth" until he was set free.  He now felt calm.  Then all of the sudden he was grabbed in the same way and he felt an electric current travel through his body, his legs began to rise up again.  He then saw lots of movement in his room and saw a hand similar to a "frog's foot" or a gecko lizard foot, apparently reptilian in nature.  His legs went right over and he seemed to have passed out.  He woke up at 0700 A.M. feeling ill and with terrible back pain.  He felt drained and could not eat breakfast.  His eyes were red and later he found bruises on his stomach and chest.  On all the encounters the witness feels like his bedroom has somehow been "detached" from the house and taken somewhere else.

A 32 year-old man rang to talk about a series of experiences.  Between ages 8-15 he slept in an old bus on his parents' property.  At night on several occasions he found entities sitting on the end of his bed.  They were greyish blue in skin colour.

Driving home alone a large blue disc was seen near a woman's car.  The car's engine switched off, and she found she had no control over the car's movements as it stopped by itself by the side of the road.  All sound drained out of the air and she heard a voice in "perfect English" say: "All your tests will be negative."  "Tell the media, do not panic, we mean no harm, " then "You now have control."  At this point the engine started itself and the UFO left.

Ms M was watching television when a voice in her head told her to go to Centennial Park where she would see a UFO.  A craft approached her to within 6m.  A woman's voice from the craft told her to sit under a tree.  She then saw a human male figure, dressed in T-shirt and shorts looking at her.  She then blacked out.  Several days later, she saw a circle burnt into the grass in the park.

On two occasions a man awoke to recall "voices" had been talking to him during the night.
