“Two unidentified flying objects were sighted by a family, two visiting friends and a police officer near Victor Harbour last Monday night (20 May 1974).
Mr. Neville Dunn, of Maud Street, Encounter Bay, said
yesterday that at 8.30 p.m. Monday he and his family and two friends from
Bordertown saw two strange flashing white lights appear from the north-east at about 45 degrees.
After rising to a higher altitude one of the objects
apparently disappeared into cloud. Mr. Dunn then drove to the nearby home of
First Class Constable Max Griffiths in Philip Avenue and from there Mr. Dunn,
Const. Griffiths and Mrs. Griffiths saw two separate flashing lights travelling
from east to west in the direction of the Amscol factory just out from Victor
Harbour.
Mr. Dunn said the first two lights sighted by his family
and friends seemed to come from the direction of Amscol about a quarter of a
mile apart.
After leaving Const. Griffiths, Mr. Dunn drove to
Porter’s Hill but did not again see the flashing lights which had been visible
altogether for about 20 minutes.
Did any other readers see flashing lights in the sky Monday
night?
It has since been verified that an aircraft was in the
vicinity of Victor Harbour about 8 p.m. Monday night. The pilot was having
radio trouble and he was directed to land at Murray Bridge.”
