The whole article:
“THREE people rang The Courier-Mail last night (6 April 1954) with reports of ‘strange objects’ in the sky.

A woman living in Kauri Road, Ashgrove, said she had seen ‘a weird cigar shaped object with a glowing tail’ move slowly over the Taylor Range about 7 pm.

She said she observed the object for about seven minutes before it slowly faded from sight.

Mr. G. Howard, of Chalk Street, Wooloowin, said that about 7 pm he and several other people had seen a strange, stationary light over towards the range. The light alternately glowed and faded and seemed to be surrounded with a faint haze.

Mr. W. Macsie, of Manilla Street, East Brisbane, said that about 3 pm yesterday, while he was at work at the Tennyson powerhouse, what seemed to be a vapour trail appeared suddenly high in the sky. A dozen of his workmates also had seen the trail.

Last night neither Civil Aviation, RAAF, police, nor army officials could offer any explanation of the reported objects.”
