PROJECT 1947

Witnesses, including astronomers saw a globular light.

A farmer discovered a landed object and was 'zapped' by a humanoid which appeared from within it, leaving a lasting paralysis in the witness.

Close to the horizon a "strange orange-coloured light -- from which flashed vivid lightning."  "I was able to make out the shape of that which it emanated.  It was like a blunt-nosed torpedo and the orange light was in the 'propeller' end, and thirdly, the speed at which the shape was travelling."

A follow up article on 8 Feb 47 in the Advertiser was titled:

A Mrs A was out rounding up cattle when she came across a landed object resting on legs.  Three male figures emerged and floated to the ground.  They were of normal human appearance, wearing silver suits, silver boots and a hood over their heads.  She was taken willingly into the object, into a room where there were, what today, would be called computer consoles.  The beings communicated with her verbally and told her things about herself they should not have known.  She was then returned to the ground.

Three men waiting for transport, noticed at 45 degrees SE, a light in the sky.  This light was moving WNW parallel to the ground, lighting up clouds and the surrounding terrain.  It was visible through breaks in the clouds.  The bus driver remarked, "They are firing rockets early today."  One witness replied: "It was not a rocket." The light had an estimated size of one third that of the full Moon.

An engineering student saw a small white disk that vanished over the house-tops he watched.

Five witnesses were at the Woomera West Open Air Theatre.  They sighted an object, variously described as a "cigar," an "airship," and "cylindrical" with an "exhaust" at the rear.  It travelled horizontally from west to east, possibly NW to SE.  One witness reported "two portholes with internal lighting."  It was moving quickly, with no noise noted.

While tracking an aircraft, a target was acquired by radar.  However, no visual object could be seen by the radar operator.  "The signal to noise ratio was at least 5 to 1 which is similar to that obtained from a large aircraft."  At one stage between 1345 and 1400hrs the target approached to within one mile.  Between 1405 and 1429hrs the operator tracked the invisible target at heights between 1500 and 5600 feet.  "At times during the movement of the target smaller targets seemed to detach themselves from the main target and drift away."  Weather was fine, 5/8 high cloud at 25000 feet-84 degrees F, north wind at 25-30 mph.

Comments by the Security Officer included (note it snowed briefly at 0900hrs the next day): "It was most probably that the snow cloud had some connection.  However, the possibility of a neutron cloud is not ruled out." A ground plot of the radar target was located on the file.

Moving to 120 degrees.  Speed 27 mph.  Height fluctuated between 1500 and 5600 feet.

Driving they saw a large white hovering a few hundred feet above a house. They stopped the car and got out. The light approached them. It hovered over them for 30-60 seconds then took off at great speed seawards and disappeared.

A 2m long 'animal", with a scaly body, reportedly hissed from a tree, at a group of residents. The animal leapt from sight.

Silver square. 190 degrees bearing, 25 degrees elevation. Moving W. Disappeared in mid-air. Balloon with tin reflector.

"Silver object in straight flight with yellow tail disappeared in mid-air. Object in sight only momentarily. Passed overhead in Northerly flight. Sound like a/c with motors cut assumed to accompany object."

"Black object to East appeared to be stationary. Object flew West then flew North and finally dropped after a 15 minute observation. One object. Initial observation at 45 degree elevation. Looked like two saucers joined together by a span.

Yellow light bearing 290 degree elevation 30 degree moving to 290 degree. Disappeared over the horizon.

"In the sky ahead of us was what looked like a blazing golden coin. It shone like a sun in the darkness. It arched upwards at tremendous speed and was gone."

A round object with a circle of light around it went past a window at high speed. A roaring sound was heard.

A soundless, round disk was seen travelling N.

1.   Radar echo of misty grey disc. Bearing 355 degrees 35 mls greater than 60,000 feet.  Travelled S then E. Visual observation aided by binoculars Dimensions estd 10 feet.  Speed 3600 mph to E (measured on trace).

2.   "Harry Turner told me of a radar case that impressed him most in his study of the DAFI UFO files that lead to his classified 1954 report.  The case, originally classified 'secret' describes a UFO event over Woomera that was witnessed by an English Electric scientist and a radar operator.  The English Electric scientist was outside talking to the radar operator when the radar confirmed the presence of a UFO. The scientist watched the object with binoculars.  One of his functions at Woomera was to monitor rocket tests, he was experienced in observing movements in the sky.  The radar tracked the UFO until it went out of range.  However, they were unable to confirm distance and size.  Some tests were being undertaken with a Canberra bomber in flight. The UFO was moving in formation with the Canberra.  The Canberra crew could not see the UFO, but both the plane and UFO were confirmed on radar."

3.   Three relevant documents were found on file D174, being statements by the two men involved and a covering letter, dated 20 May 1954, forwarding the statements, from the Superintendent Long Range Weapons Establishment Range, Woomera, to the "Chief Superintendent". This letter included the statement:

One statement, dated 6 May 1954, read:

   Post "R"
   RE: UNIDENTIFIED TARGET OBSERVED ON RADAR 5TH MAY, 1954

The diagram referred to was not located in the file examined.

The other statement, dated 7 May 1954, which under the man's name had an entry: "Vickers-Armstrong," read:

Gnr Willis is reported to have observed, and photographed with a Kine Theodelite, an aerial object. He was looked at a Jindivik aircraft when he sighted the object. It was silver white in colour, half moon shape, no details of structure and no sound. He estimated it was at 40,000 feet travelling at "medium speed" travelling NW to SW in a straight path. There was no exhaust, vapour or light seen. It was lost to view "out of view at same height." Three seconds of photography was undertaken. The sky was "very clear" at the time. A Department of Air Minute dated 28 Oct 54, records "The negative of this photograph has been handed to the Director."

Two policemen and a woman saw a white light at 10-15 degrees W. It faded from sight.

Observations of what witnesses described as a "dancing light," from adjacent to launcher apron number 1 range. Azimuth 215 degrees T at approximately 3 degrees elevation.  The light's colour varied from deep orange to a deep yellow. Described as three times the size of Venus.  The planet Venus was at 238 degrees T 1 degree elevation at the time.  The light was seen to move around in a small area.  Weather 70F, wind NNE 10 mph.  3/8 cloud at 15,000 feet.  Scattered ice crystals at 30,000 feet.  No noise heard from light.

Four people standing by Jetty Road, Glenelg saw an object hovering in sky. It was oval, like the bottom of a large saucer. It slowly disappeared upwards. Vaguely aware of a high pitched sound. Recalls story on front page of Advertiser next day about car load of people seeing something.

A ten year old girl, Janet X, was being treated for a slight nervous disorder. While under hypnosis she spontaneously recounted a story of her interaction with aliens and a flying saucer. Whilst in trance she spoke of being in a saucer with three "men", and of visiting a planet with an advanced society.

Upon glancing to his right while driving a car, a man was surprised to see a three metres diameter silvery sphere, surrounded by a flange, giving it an overall diameter of ten metres.  The object crossed the road some three metres behind the car.  It then turned and moved roughly parallel to the road, and he followed it for some twenty to twenty five kilometres before it climbed rapidly into the sky.  There were no external markings or portholes visible.

Driving home when sighted what appeared to be a red tail light of a car in front of him. When he sped up so did the light; when he slowed it did. The light eventually took off at speed out to sea.

"Police received reports of a bright flashing white light in St Vincent Gulf, about 20 degrees north-west of Glenelg…commercial aircraft in the vicinity were asked to look out for the light.

Green ball, with green tail travelling E to W at high speed.

Soundless object circular and like a quarter Moon reported following a car.  The object's bottom half was yellow.  It initially approached the car.  The witnesses got out to look at it, and during this phase it was stationary.  It then veered off to the W.

Object like quarter Moon reported following a car.  It had an illuminated bottom half was yellow.  It approached.  They stopped car. It stopped and veered off. RAAF conclusion: Aircraft.

RAAF Corporal Derek Murray and colleagues observed a hovering object.  Described as silver/blue in colour and having a metallic lustre.  It had a line of 'windows" or "portholes" along the edge.  The duty Air Traffic Controller reportedly checked with Alice Springs and Edinburgh Air ports but they reported no sightings.  The object left quickly without noise.

Party of geologists reported seeing a "brilliant blue-green light with a long white tail."  Disappeared on bearing of 272 degrees, about 15 degrees above horizon, near Sun.

Blue ball with white tail seen.  Moving quickly to NW.

Fierce rushing noise then double explosion heard Kangaroo Well Station near Lake Gairdner.  Occurred soon after blue ball with white tail seen near Cowell at 0915hrs.  Area of earth 7feet in diameter found disturbed. Possibility of meteorite landing.

Sky was lit by a blue flash and object appeared travelling S to N, quickly across the sky.  Yellow flame from head and a red tail.  Roaring noise heard.

A dome shape was seen emerging from the water, spherical with a curtain of white underneath it.  Object shone like glass.  It moved towards them and they felt like it stopped and observed them.  Rose and went out to sea.  Another came in from the south and they stopped next to each other.  Second one moved south ast speed.

Two objects swiftly crossing sky.  One was a 2m long shining cigar seen for 3 minutes; the other a 2m square, spinning and shining.

Silver, sausage shape seen in W.  Estimated height 500m speed 160km/hr.

Two men in a truck crested a hill and came upon a "dome" illuminated by coloured lights.  They stopped the truck and watched the ten metre diameter object as it went through a regular sequence of colour changes.  The lights all then went out and the men approached from their position of a hundred metres distance.  As they did so the object took off silently at a forty-five degree angle and was lost to sight after twenty minutes, in the southern sky.  Briggs recalled, in an interview with this author on 26 Dec 1972, that on the evening of 13 March 1959 some nurses had seen a similar object near to Purnong Landing.

"They saw a strange object, at first apparently on the ground and afterwards in the sky."

Barry Neale was driving home from Goolwa when he saw on the ground about one hundred metres off the road, a glowing reddish-orange object with a row of portholes.  It illuminated the trees and was about two metres wide.  He got to within three hundred metres of it, and drove around a wooded area in time to see it take off at high speed.  No radioactivity was found. 

A spinning saucer shaped-object with a row of steady lights was seen before it rose vertically and disappeared from view.  A ten second time exposure was taken by a Mr Lightfoot.  Newspaper article has a photo.

Brilliant object seen travelling SW to SE in the southern sky. Disintegrated in "shower of sparks." Believed to be nose cone of Sputnik 3.

    a. Woomera SA 2215hrs 15 secs NL

"A bright orange-coloured flying object was observed at the Woomera rocket range.  It was not associated with any range firing, the authorities admitted.  A forecaster at the Woomera meteorological station stated that the object was sighted at 10.15pm and remained visible for 15 seconds. 'It was travelling almost horizontally. It was moving very fast, and looked like a bright shuttlecock, then appeared to break into three parts, which burnt out.

    b. Evening

An object was widely reported from various parts of the state.  One report stated it was a "cluster of three lights." Another report said it was flying high and fast and was orange.  From Renmark it was seen to the NE, was orange and travelling fast.

"Looking out of my car, I saw an orange oblong tube about two feet long moving slowly in front of my car.  Then it picked up speed and disappeared into the clouds."

Brilliant object in sky.  "It was falling towards the horizon in the north-east.  It was a bright yellow-green colour."

Two Police officers on patrol saw initially a "cluster of stars" low down near the W horizon.  "The cluster reflected moonlight and appeared to skim above sea level in a northerly direction.  Then it disappeared."   A few moments later they saw a "bright, long, flat shape with a bubble design on top travelling across the face of the moon.  It took about thirty seconds to complete this course, then disappeared again."  It was well defined and about 1/8th Moon diameter in size.

Dozen white lights seen above clouds.

Group Captain Tom Dalton-Morgan was Officer-in-Charge of Range Operations.  Firing of a Black Night missile.  Received call from Recovery Officer Percy Hawkins about an unusual, bright light in sky at 80-90 miles NW of missile site.  Bright light at 5000 feet travelling directly towards the range head at high speed. Captain viewed the incoming light.  It flew from NW then orbited the range buildings 5 miles to the S. When E it climbed away to the NE at a steep angle.  It was a bright white-green light.  No noise.

Orange flare like object seen.

A man reported that a 3m diameter red light had paced his car. The object "appeared and stayed in front of his vehicle for fifteen miles."  Two Police constables searched the area but found nothing.

Bright light moving W to E.

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 see only a glow.

Six people rang the Advertiser late last night to report a glowing object changing colour as it moved low across the horizon in the north-eastern sky.  The object is believed to be similar to one which had police mystified several months ago.

Police received a report of a bright light.  Colour changed from red to white.  Car was followed for several miles.  Light last seen hovering over a paddock.

A man, a carrier by occupation, was driving along a road when a soundless, red and blue, round to oval shape was seen directly above the vehicle.  He watched it for about two minutes as it travelled from east to west.  He noted that the sound from his radio cut out.

The event was reported to Police by the youth's father, and is said to have taken place on the old Glencoe road, between Glencoe and Mount Gambier, one mile south of the Piggery.  A seventeen year old apprentice mechanic encountered an object on one side of the road on which he was driving.  When his car was six metres away from it, a bright light came on on the object and dazzled him.  He pulled the car up, the object moved across the road, and he drove his vehicle under it.  It was oval in shape, five metres wide and three high, with the lights on it being as bright as "the arc lights in electric welding."  It disappeared but was seen again at the six mile post from the Mount.  He was travelling at 50-60mph and the light followed him, then disappeared soon after.

Was 1-1.5 miles from Piggery on the old Glencoe Road when he saw an object on the side of the road.  It was bright red/white and shaped like a bulldozer.  No sound.  "It came across the road and then it went straight up."  Lost in mid-air.  The object is said to have followed the route of the car for three miles then disappeared as an on-coming car approached the witness.

Large, bright object in NW twice size of Moon.  Approached him, then was stationary for 1.5 seconds before leaving at speed.

Heard a rushing noise with a brilliant flash of light.  Going from N to S and ended "with a loud thud."

He was travelling on the Lyndoch-Gawler road going to Gawler, when upon rounding a corner in his vehicle, an anonymous Willaston man came upon a blood-red coloured object extending across the roadway. This was near the Sandy Creek Hotel.  He applied the brakes and was within three metres of it when it rose suddenly from the road.  After rising one hundred metres or so, it turned on its side and sped off, streaming vapour.  Described as eight metres across and four high, with a concave top and a flat base, it glowed blood-red when close to the ground and appeared to change to a light-red yellow as it gathered speed and flew off towards Two Wells.  Hervey states that the sighting was reported to police and that a CIB Special Branch officer interviewed the witness.  The Advertiser reports "He later reported the incident to the Weapons Research Establishment which arranged for him to be interviewed by a member of the CIB Special Branch."

Glowing white object travelling very quickly NE to SW seen descending in the sky.  Five minutes later head a loud noise and heard previously quiet surf on beach 12 miles away was heard.  Possibly meteorite landing.

Traveling across open country, almost dark, when he saw an object. 100 feet in diameter less than 400 yards away.

Object falling SW to NE with smoke haze around it and with a fiery trail.

Police constables Payne and McMillan reported seeing a "bright globular object zig-zagged rapidly, slowed down and then accelerated at fantastic speed.  The object came from the west then swiftly turned towards the north and vanished."

A grazier telephoned the Adelaide Advertiser newspaper from the Salt Creek post office to report that "a 200 foot flying saucer had followed his car along a quiet stretch of highway near Tilley Swamp, 30 miles north of Kingston. It was at least three chains long (200ft) and it made a noise similar to a high-pitched generator whine.  At 6.17 exactly I was driving along and I heard this sound.  I looked out to the right hand side of the road and I saw this great big shadow.  It seemed to be going along with me.  It seemed to be hanging there like it was on a cord.  It seemed to be a silvery kind of colour.  I only saw it for a couple of seconds and then it moved off and then took off at an incredible speed."

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.

"A reddish-brown, football shaped object" reported in the sky.  Then a teacher reported a "dull glowing object hovering the sky."

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.

This photograph was taken at the launching of a Blue Streak rocket, and shows an oval blob of light near the rocket.  A black and white print in the Flying Saucer Review was apparently from a colour movie.

Large, circular object sighted, which hovered above them and tracked them for 1/2 mile.  They accelerated to 60mph.  Suddenly the object shot upwards.  Advertiser or radio report mentioned that on a Sunday night, policeman and Council man out walking East of Penong before dark, had sighted a large circular object seen hovering over an open paddock.  They walked towards it and it shot off at speed.

Several photographs were said to have been taken of an unusual oval shaped blob, by an assistant steward on the BHP ore freighter, "Iron Duke."  However, a personal investigation revealed that at the time nothing unusual was visually seen.  The object in the photos only came out on the prints.  It appears to be nothing more than a lens reflection of the Moon, which is the brighter object shown in each photo.

A "dark-coloured oval thing overhead.  It was about 18-20 feet wide and had seven or more orange lights around the edge with a red light in the centre.  Suddenly it took off like a flash towards Adelaide.

A Mr and Mrs Helyard reported seeing a dark disc, metallic coloured which hovered and circled for fifteen minutes at an estimated one thousand metres up.  Their one photo shows a nebulous, elliptical shaped, object against what appear to be points of light, together with what looks like clouds.  It is hard to understand quite what the picture shows, as it looks far more like an unusual cloud than a defined metallic object.

The Establishment Security Officer, Woomera advised: "ROGAN Commonwealth railways Port Augusta reports that gang working at 639 miles (approximately 70 miles west of Cook) saw UFO between 0835 and 0845 30 July 65. to south of railway link.  Appeared hovering silver colour reflecting Sun's rays.  Watched for ten minutes by five men.  Disappeared with a flash ESO MARA may be able to obtain more information from roadmaster Cook."

An object with a flashing light stopped and silently hovered.  He shone a torch at it, and a vertical, grey shaft became visible under it.  He shone his torch once more and the dark column had come closer.  He went inside his house.

A "star-like" object moved across the sky.

Hovering several metres above a road, 5 miles north of Keith, a saucer shape inverted over another saucer shape, was observed for a while, before it left at great speed.  The witness stopped and noted a smell like ozone.  The object was described as five metres in diameter and as having six bluish lights on one side.

An oval object, silver-grey in colour with a thick, dark outline was seen low over North Terrace buildings.

    a.   Woomera SA 1939hrs 2 wits 2M

Mr R Sharp, one of the men said :"We saw the object from Woomera village at 7.39pm.  It had a light equivalent in intensity to a 200 watt bulb at 200 yards, and it appeared to leave a blue-green trail."

    b.   Clearview Adelaide SA 0800hrs 2M

Two boys reported seeing an object in the sky which hovered for a few seconds then left at speed towards the W.

    c.   Kingston & Naracoorte Early morning 20mins 2M Armstrong & Polomka

Two ice-cream truck drivers saw a white spotlight with a red light on top.  The white light was "interlaced with smaller coloured lights."  At times it seemed to hover and at other time move erratically across the sky.

    a.   Woomera SA 3 secs 1M

There was a jet-like sound, but no aircraft were in the area.  An object was then seen, white in colour, trailing a bluish-green colour.  In size, it was smaller than the full Moon.  It travelled from azimuth 110 degrees to azimuth 90 degrees in 3 seconds.

    b.   Adelaide SA 1935hrs 5 secs multi wits

At a bearing of 305 degrees and elevation 35 degrees, was a sodium yellow object travelling NE.  It slowed, then turned N, descended, gained speed and disappeared.

Two, circular silver objects due E. Both stationary.  One went up the other went E.

An Adelaide resident and partner, driving in a remote area, came across a group of circles on a flat stretch of earth.  There were eight in total, all identical in shape and size.  Some overlapped. Said to be six metres in diameter, perfectly round.  It appeared two had been burnt into the earth.

Looked up into sky and saw at least three lots of UFOs, 40 in all.  One broke away and hovered low over him.  Big as a football field.  Mother told him he walked home in shock and took him to Woomera hospital.

"A red-orange, triangular shaped object rose out of the sea and then sank in again, taking about five minutes to do so."

In a car, small Moon in shape and colour seen due E moving W.

Two men were in a vehicle when the engine and lights stopped/went off.  They got out to investigate when they noticed a disc rapidly ascending at thirty degrees south-west.  It was emitting blue to purple glows and flashes from underneath it.  It was lost to view in the night sky.  Upon returning to their car they found it started normally.  An hour later a stationary purple glow was observed in a creek bed, followed another hour later by a six metres diameter disc which was seen to take off from the ground.

Large, stationary, orange, round object in W. Small object left the larger one at speed.

Three objects seen.  Two were moving and the third stationary.  All very bright.  They passed them, and the two which were moving descended towards the ground and stopped.

Driving when he saw a bright light to the right of the road.  Two objects moved across the road behind him.  Stopped car.  Third object remained in same spot.  Went W over crest of hill and they could only see a glow.

Travelling SW were two large green lights which "dipped towards the horizon."

Numerous staff reported seeing a variety of objects through instruments.

Five miles NNE of Murray Bridge on the Murray bridge to Karoonda Road.  It was a clear night with thick ground fog. Witness was driving a motor vehicle when he experienced interference on the car radio, which became a high pitched whine.  He turned the radio off.  Within 100-150 yards the motor of the vehicle stopped by itself.  The ignition was on but the warning lights on the dash came on.  The ignition key was still in the 'On' position.  Looking up he saw a distinct break in the fog with stars visible.  A "large dark shadow" was seen at a height of 20 feet.  The shadow seemed 120 feet thick. Above this shadow was a greyish-blue glow.  The top of the shadow appeared convex.  He stoped the vehicle and got out to look but the shadow and light had gone.  There was no sound.  The object had vanished.  The two banks of fog came together.  The witness returned to the vehicle, tried the ignition and the motor worked.  He switched on the radio and there was no interference.

Silver object travelling at high speed.

"Observed a large bright red round object approaching from the east.  The object seemed to hang over Adelaide for a while, then vanished.

A really bright light was observed at a height of one metre some forty to sixty metres distance, by a Mrs Collins.  She ran to get her husband, but on coming back, the object lifted off the ground vertically, then shot off very fast over hills.  It had appeared only as a white oval shape.

Various manoeuvres made by a star-like object.

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

Object moved W to E at 45 degrees in a straight line.

One red light in the sky lost over horizon.

White and red light in sky.  Round ball of light.  Vapour trail.  Lost over horizon.

Stationary, oval shaped yellow/white light.

A glowing object was seen over the Adelaide Hils to the East.  "A shaft of light, four inches wide and a lighter yellow colour than the object, shot intermittently down from the craft.

A white soundless light seen to the S.  Lost over horizon.

Red and green flashing light at 30 degrees E.  Last seen heading N.

One disc-shaped object changing colours lost in light of rising Sun.  Bright red light in W changed to blue, green and white.

A round, red glow on top, with a blue trail travelled E to W, turned to the SW and remained stationary for some time.  It "then appeared to be joined with four other craft."

Small pulsating red light.  Stopped, grew fainter and disappeared.

Children at a school reported objects on four occasions during the day.

Stationary yellow light, then rose slowly into overcast sky.

Line of lights-red.  10 degrees SW.  Slow speed.  Travelled W to S.  Lost over rooftops.

Five pale yellow lights in SW. Straight path. Lost over horizon.

"Golden-orange UFO trailing sparks as it moved west to north-east." Halo round the edges.

Dark red object with trail, and a noise "..like tearing paper…"

Moving in an undulating fashion, then hovering before speeding away, a solid object was described, which had "several lights in a circle" around it.

Buzzing noise heard.  Then green oval seen in sky going S to N in a straight path.  Lost behind hill. 

Golden/orange light travelling NE to W in a straight line. Lost in mid-air.

Round red light moving E to W in a straight line.

Steel grey object 25 degrees W to W, then W.   Circular path.

"A brilliant royal blue ball of fire with a whitish-yellow outer ring, hover in the north-west for a while, then drop like a stone, veering to the left.  There was no smoke trail, or sound."

A black and white picture was taken and shows a "coat hanger" shaped, small angular-sized, black "saucer".   Taken by a student, who later admitted it was a hoax.

One white light hovered then moved.  Travelled NW to SE.

One yellow triangular light went from N to S.  Lost over horizon.

One very fast red light seen 60 degrees N going S.

One red light seen going W to E in a straight line.  Lost behind a hill.

Red light seen going S to N.  Lost behind trees.

A metallic-looking, grey coloured, elliptical object was seen going E to W then S to N.  Lost in mid-air.

People in a car saw "a cluster of five bright orange-coloured, oval shaped lights…and self luminous.  It came from the south with its lights flickering.  After circling for a while, it landed in the scrub some miles away.  Two more lights were observed a few miles further east fifty minutes later."

"Three circular white objects travelling in formation and at tremendous speed they travelled in a southerly direction before disappearing in the distance.

Driving home she saw a light in the western sky, but lost it behind trees.  As she approached Rendelsham cutting it reappeared until she got to grey.  At home with her husband she watched the light for 30mins.  The light appeared a reddish/white colour attached to something.

Two children watched a sixty centimetres long by twenty five centimetres thick football shaped light, golden in colour pass within fifty metres of them and appear to land in a paddock.  A spot was later found flattened in a one point five metre oval.  It was "tangled in a corkscrew fashion as if a giant top had been spinning on the spot."

A bright white light was noticed in the sky which appeared to pace their vehicle.  At one point it approached them rapidly, changing colour to orange-red.  As the vehicle took a bend, the object went straight on.

"Miss Heather Potter, and a friend, watched for about 30 minutes two lights, one brighter than the other, about the size of peas, moving slowly acrioss the sky against the wind.  One of the UFOs took the lead after a while, but the other one soon caught up with it.  They then stopped and hovered for some time, after which the brighter of the two sped off to a new location.  It again started to hover, whereupon a small black object left the parent craft and sped off at terrific speed.  The smaller light faded, while the other moved slowly across the sky and finally disappeared.  The matter was reported to the meteorological office at Woomera, but no explanation was forthcoming.

A light was seen at 35 deg NW from Millicent and 45 deg from Grey.  It was stationary and white but its intensity varied.  The police took a 10sec time exposure using a Polaroid instant camera.

One of a number of objects sighted, came down towards the vehicle of a group of five young people out spotlighting.  It approached several times before eventually leaving at speed, but then came back for another approach before vanishing.

A man found a five metres, partial diamond shaped marking on his lawn after rain.  The marking consisted of an oily substance which later turned to a powder.  Believed to be slime mould.

Two days after hearing unusual footsteps walking around a concrete path on his farm and after seven point five centimetres of rain fell, a man found a five point nine metres (inside) diameter ring with a thirty centimetres bare band of soil on its perimeter. Suspected fungus ring.

Patches of a black, oily substance were found on a lawn in the early morning.  Later it had changed to a light grey crystallised material.  Suspected slime mould.

A deposit was noticed on a lawn which appeared like ash from a fire.  On the 9th the colour was a bluish grey and when the grass was shaken a "black dust" was dislodged profusely.  The following day the deposit had turned to a yellowish jelly.  However, by the 11th it had returned to its original state.

A nearly complete doughnut shaped circle of a substance was noted on a lawn about 6.45 a.m.  The deposit was ten to thirteen centimetres wide and about three to three point six metres in diameter.

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 one hundred 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 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 woman was awoken by what she took to be a strong gust of wind, but saw that her curtains were not moving.  A pyramid shape, sixty metres away, and six metres in diameter, dirty white in colour, was seen hovering close to the ground.  Her daughter also saw it.  They became frightened and went back to bed.

During the night a housewife was awoken by a loud bang.  A marking was later found which consisted of three twenty two centimetre diameter circles, spaced in an equilateral triangle, of sides twelve point six seven metres in length.

A Mr E Matthew took some movie footage of a light in the sky.  When the film was returned he noted an unusual object instead of the light.  This image was enlarged by micro-photography and it has been said that it shows an elliptical object with apparent "window" and "entity."

A butcher took four black and white photos of a "mass of spinning lights" close to his house.  The shots are clear and seem to show a solid disc shape.  Blowups of these shots show light and shade.  Although there has been some criticism of the shots, they remain of an unidentified nature.

Mr G. Koch, sixteen, was driving along the Angaston road when about two kilometres north-west of Eden Valley an object passed soundlessly over the top of his car.  It was described as a series of red lights in two parallel lines connected by pure white horizontal rays.  The following day he reported finding three circular scorch marks on the bonnet of his car which had not been there before.

Three children reported seeing a two metres long "egg" with a tail and four legs, flying around in circles which apparently landed on a back road.  A diamond-shaped trace was found.  There were three circular holes, two and a half centimetres apart in the centre.  At one end of the diamond was a small diamond shaped area not dug out (the rest of the trace was two and a half centimetres deep).  There was a line seven and a half centimetres long which curved away from this end of the diamond.  There were three of these shapes, one smaller than the others.

After a reported observation of an unusual object, an area of grass was found flattened in a ten metres circle.  The object was said to be hovering one metre off the ground and some fifty metres away.

Travelling by car they saw two green lights 200 feet from the ground behind the car.  Sparks came from one of the lights.  A shrill piercing whistle noise was heard.  Watson said his car was covered in a thick layer of dust.

An object glowing red and white was seen by Peter and Gwen Fennell while driving from Mt Burr to Millicent as they came down Mt Muirhead.&nsp; The Fennell's children Peter (7) and Bronwyn (5) also saw it but thought it was a kite.  The object seemed to be over pine trees at the airport, then rose and headed towards the sea.  Police were informed at 9.40pm 8/9/70. Constables F M P Witcombe and A R Dennett both witnessed the object perform aerial maneuvers for about 30 minutes.

A young boy noticed a cigar shape on the ground one hundred and fifty metres away from the house.  It was white, had four legs and seemed to be transparent in the middle.

One photo was taken of a red light, through a small telescope, using a Polaroid camera.  The print merely shows two blobs of light and is almost worthless.

During the middle of the night couple woke for no reason, then room was lit up with an intense white light.  Light wasn't coming through window, was "just there."  Light went out.  Lady looked out and saw a ball of glistening white light about 1.2m across, bigger than the Moon, receding beyond trees.

A Mr Boyce, fifty one, left Wallaroo and was driving back to Kadina, alone in his car.  About five kilometres out of town his surroundings were illuminated by an orange hue.  Suddenly the engine stopped and the lights went out.  The ignition light on the dashboard failed to come on, and despite efforts the engine could not be restarted.  He steered the car to the side of the road and braked to a halt.  Getting out he saw, at fifty metres altitude, an oval shape with three to four "windows".  It was stationary, almost directly above the car.  It remained motionless for two to three minutes with a continuous buzzing sound being audible.  It then left to the south-east.  Before it was completely out of sight, he got in the car and started the engine, with the lights then coming on.

A two point two metres diameter, bare and doughnut shaped circle, with a forty-five centimetre wide, ten centimetres deep trough on its perimeter, turned up in a wheat field.  Soil samples revealed nothing abnormal.  The wheat had been swirled anti-clockwise around the mark itself.  Neighbours described seeing a red ball, of light descending into this paddock, the night before the mark was found.

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, pointy ears and a long nose.  It was some two metres 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.

Yet another sighting lead to a Department of Supply letter to the Director of Air Force Intelligence, dated January 7th, 1972, which stated that "this sighting appears to be sufficiently authenticated, yet there is no official knowledge of any military or civil aircraft that could have intruded into the Woomera air space.  It is therefore now a matter of speculation that some foreign aircraft passed through a Restricted Flying Area on December 20, 1971, without the knowledge of the appropriate authorities and this is cause for concern."

In one case just prior to the launch of a Black Arrow rocket (in part a DSTO project) an unidentified "aircraft" was observed by a trained site meteorology observer over Woomera prohibited air space.

"Carol", a twenty seven year old, housewife, reported a lifelong series of experiences which commenced with a CE1 when she was aged six.  This was followed by other UFO experiences, poltergeist activity, telepathy, precognitive dreams, an out-of-body experience, lucid dreams, hypnagogic imagery and sleep paralysis episodes, amongst other things.  Of particular interest was a recurrent nightmare of encounters with a strange dwarf in an unusual room.  Memories of some of these events were triggered after watching an "Unsolved Mysteries" segment on abductions on television.

Under regression, recollection eventuated of one apparent abduction at age nine.  One night in 1972 she was getting ready for bed when she saw an entity outside her bedroom window.  One point two to one point five metres tall , it had a big head, a pointed chin, huge yellow eyes, a skinny little white coloured body which glowed , no nose or mouth, and no ears.  She was then somehow floated up to a light in the sky which became a UFO.  She has no recall of actually entering it, but next became aware of being in a room on a table. lying on her back.

There were a number of entities in this room, with one particular one leaning over her.  She could only see its head as it was very close by.  It had a big head, with a pointed chin, and dark black, almond shaped eyes and a yellow-coloured body.  She felt these beings were "doctors."  A black "match" was applied to her leg above her right knee.  The closest being told her telepathically that: "It's all right.  Won't be long.  Won't hurt."

The shape in the ceiling, and the shapes behind the orange glow faded, and her next recollection was of being in her own bed.

Partial recollections of a second possible abduction at age fifteen, ran into a memory block.  A friend of hers participated in some of the experience which involved a light illuminating a cabin they were occupying.  Regression of this second woman confirmed parts of Carol's story but not the abduction.

The above material emerged at a time when the woman told me she was undergoing therapy for being an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse.

A factory manager driving in fog came across a dark oval shape with a red light on one side and a white one on the other, just hanging above the ground.  He stopped his car fearing a collision, and the object rose into the fog with a "swish" and was lost to view.

Three rings were found on a farm.  They were twenty five to thirty centimetres wide bands of dead grass forming one point two to one point five metre diameter circles.  The circles subsequently developed lush growth and they seemed to have been fungus caused.

From 80 degrees N a bright light travelled to overhead (SSE).  No sound

    a.   Woodside SA 2020hrs 4mins 1M NL

One very bright light seen 40 degrees N travelling to the NW horizon.

    b.   Ascot Park Adelaide SA 2035hrs 30secs 1M NL

A boomerang shaped object, shining like an electric light globe travelled from 80 degrees S to 15 degrees N.  No sound.

Brilliant white light and red light close together 40 degrees SE travelling to 5-10 degrees ENE.

Mrs Venning, while travelling by car on her way to catch a bus, saw to her left in a paddock, an object looking like a grey-white oval with lights on both sides.  It seemed thirty metres off the ground and was soundless.  She drove past it without stopping but said her hair stood on end during the observation.

Object seen by driver seen just above the telegraph line along the road to the E.  It was like a white cloud, oblong-shaped, hazy outline.  Travelling same speed as her car i.e. 80km/hr.  Lost to the W.

Two sisters heard a beep beep noise, then saw a group of three or four white lights lighting up the ground on a spare block next door.  Then witnesses stopped observing.

At 5-10 degrees S she saw a stationary object which seemed to have three oblong, opaque windows.

Point source of light at 30 degrees SW, brighter than any of the stars.  Stationary.  No sound.  Bright red in colour, then turned blue, then back to bright red again.

Three rings of lush growth appeared on a lawn overnight.  The largest was about two metres in diameter.  Examination revealed hundreds of little black spots on the grass.  Slime mould.

Star-like orange/white light travelled 20 degrees NW to 20 degrees E.

Two red flashing lights one above the other travelled from 45 degree S to 45 degrees N.  No sound.

Motor mechanic Mr Maxwell was out testing his vehicle when upon coming over a rise in the road, the motor and lights of his car cut out.  They came back on but rose and fell in intensity several times.  He decided to stop the engine and the car came to a halt.

To his left he saw a "diamond shape with the top cut off" noiselessly sitting on the ground forty five metres away in a paddock.  His car radio went "funny", making a noise like a "computer on TV", a constant rhythm.  As soon as he stopped the car he had tried the ignition key but when he turned it nothing happened, not even the oil light came on.  He then tried the wipers and the electric air horn but they didn't work either.  He locked all the doors and wound up the windows and just sat there for the next forty five minutes.  After this time, the object left and he found he could restart the car quite all right.  An inspection of the vehicle next day revealed no cause for the electrical problems.

16 years old at time, watching TV, then saw unusual object in sky.  Shape like a squashed up submarine.  Turned on its side and showed underside of a circle of lights.  It was in the W sky, no sound and darted with severe 90 degree turns.

Several doughnut shaped rings of varying sizes were found on the banks of a river.  They were bare earth/dead grass circles of about an over all two metres diameter, with a one point three metre diameter centre.  Diagnosed as fungus.

On a clear night, a white ball of light was seen 30NW manoeuvring around a small area of sky.

Two white, hazy lights sighted at 30 N travelling S at great speed.

A group of six, soundless, pale white coloured lights travelled from 8- degrees S to 25 degrees azimuth 345 degrees.  V shaped formation like a flight of birds.

Two markings on separate lawns were reported and identified as fungus/slime mould.

Dark object slightly higher than wide, not uniform in colour was seen 10 degree W and lost behind a tree.

Four people, in three separate vehicles, reported seeing an orange object in a clearing on a deserted stretch of country road.  A young couple said they saw a shape, three metres high by one point five metres wide.  One of them said they saw a two metres 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.

A movie film was taken by a Mr W Nankervis, who had been filming a glider, when he saw a brilliant object beaming rays from one end, to a mass of "boiling stuff" at the other end.  The clip of film was twenty seconds long and was examined by Prof J. Allen Hynek on his Australian visit.  No analysis is known to this author.

A large orange domed object three metres high with a dark patch in the centre was seen outside a bedroom window, accompanied by a noise like a thump and cans banging.  Triangular markings were reportedly found on a lawn the next morning.

Was in a car facing W when saw a point source of white-blue light 10-15 degrees W which travelled in a straight line to S then turned and travelled E.

A flashing silver light seen 45 degrees SW travelling at great speed in a straight line SSW.  No sound.

Bright white light gradually darker towards the rear travelling in a straight line from 45 degrees NE to NW.

Several rings, varying from point six to five point four metres in diameter with a ten centimetres wide band of dead grass, were found in an area sixteen by thirty two metres.

Eight rings-fungal in origin-were located by the River Broughton.

A fungus ring, six point three metres in diameter, and almost circular, was discovered.  The rim width was one metre.  Scattered around were four large mushrooms-twelve to twenty centimetres in size.

Noting a bright light at an estimated five to ten degrees above the north-north-east horizon, through his left hand side windscreen, Mr Zadow was puzzled.  Its angular size was about the size of the full Moon, and it was reddish/white in colour.  No illumination of the surroundings was noted although the light was dazzling to look at.  Driving at fifty five km/hr along a straight dirt road he watched the light.  There was no change in size or brightness yet he had the feeling the object flew over the truck, as it rose in elevation as viewed against the windscreen.  The truck's engine stopped and the lights went out leaving him rolling in darkness.  Neither the red ignition light nor the green oil light came on.  He instinctively braked slowly and after four to five seconds whilst the truck was still rolling, the lights and engine came back on by themselves.  The outside light was not visible by this time.  Investigation revealed that the light probably did not go over his truck but was at least three hundred metres away, parallel to the road.

Three young people travelling back to Victoria recounted that a light had been following their car.  They stopped the car to watch it.  It hovered over trees, pulsating.  The driver turned the ignition key but no lights showed and the engine wouldn't start until after a few attempts.  Investigations revealed a likely cause was a combination of headlights/stars/imagination and a temporary electrical fault.

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; 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.

A photograph was taken of a stationary, intense orange object in the sky, using an Instamatic camera.  Investigations into similar reports of an orange object in the sky showed the causes of these were the planet Mars and flares.  It is understood that the print came out black.

A number of reports of orange lights seen in the district including:

    28 Oct - Karoonda -2320hrs 1F

Stationary orange to yellow light in the sky to the W. Faded out into clouds.

    6 Nov -Karoonda -2205hrs 1M +1F

Group of orange lights seen bearing 310 degrees.  Three lights in a triangular formation.  Drove towards them and they seemed to be over a paddock to the right of the road.  As he approached light went out and the object shot off at tremendous speed to hover over trees at a distance.

    5 Nov - Wynarka -(2015-2045hrs) NL 1F+1M

Group of orange lights in W sky, "coming and going."

A two point four (2.4) metres diameter bare earth circle was found in the middle of a wheat field.  Wheat had been swirled anti-clockwise.  Soil analysis revealed no cause.

Seven circular shaped, flattened swirled areas were found in an oat paddock.  They ranged from two point one to four point six (2.1 - 4.6) metres across and were of different ages.  Oats had been swirled anti-clockwise.  The police forensic squad were unable to explain the marks.

Report from Ansett pilot which involved electrical problems as he went to work.

Rita H was taking photos when a light source appeared through the viewfinder.  She had the impression of a close approach.  She fell to the ground and the sky changed causing her extensive disorientation.  Two photos were taken with a special camera and a very high ASA rated film.  Prints have a light green coloured, elliptical shaped mass present on them.  Woman subsequently developed lupus but this might be unrelated.

"A man hunting for fossils in flat desert country was suddenly approached by two short beings who beckoned him to come with them.  He was taken into an externally small object, which was impossibly much larger inside.  Twenty or more similar beings were also inside. He was offered a drink, then passed out.  He awoke and found himself on the floor of the object.  He saw two human female children in a cage-like structure who seemed to be in a trance.  The man felt he had somehow been rejected by the beings.  A doorway suddenly opened in front of him.  He stepped out and found himself back on the desert floor.  He rejoined a companion and found he had been away for one and a half hours."

A woman recalled that as a nine year old girl, she and a friend observed a UFO at close range in suburban Elizabeth.  As she had memories of observing the object from two different angles of view, but no recollections of moving between the two locations, she suspected a period of missing time may have occurred.

Regressed to the day of the incident, she felt her head buzzing, then she recalled being in a room of some kind, and of seeing a face on a small pointed head, with pointed ears.  In addition she recalled someone walking towards her- a silver glow around its body.  A thick metal "skewer" featured which she said was: "to take out fluid."  Nothing further could be elucidated.

It is reported that a man had taken some colour movie film from the Hilton motel, of an unusual object in the early hours of the morning.  Efforts made were not able to trace either the man or the film.
