The whole article:
“Former flying instructor in the R.A.A.F., Mr. Fred Betts, of Mt. Pleasant Road, Belmont, Geelong claimed to-day to have seen a ‘flying saucer.’

Mr. Betts said his attention was drawn to the object by his four-years' old son, Paul.

The object was moving in south-easterly direction at a speed of more than 1,000 m.p.h. It was travelling at a terrific height and left behind a vapour-like trail of about 100 yards.

He said the object revolved at a terrific speed and was bronze on top and silver underneath.

‘I had enough experience during the war and as a civilian pilot to know that it certainly was not a plane,’ he said.”
