“Three well known residents this week reported having
sighted what they described as an ‘unusual object’ in the north-eastern sky at
approx 9.30 p.m. last Sunday (24 January 1954).
The object was said to be shaped like a diamond and
gave off a powerful light resembling that of a search light. The queer light
was reported to have darted around the sky for several minutes before it
eventually faded away.
The three men, who prefer to remain anonymous, are
most emphatic that the object they sighted was not a star or other normal
heavenly body. The incident co-incides with previous reports of unexplained
objects sighted in the far northern sky during the past few years.
A full report of the incident, together with the men’s
names and addresses will be forwarded to the newly formed Flying Saucer
Investigation committee in Adelaide
The men who witnessed the unusual event have expressed
the opinion that the object sighted could not have been an aircraft, owing to
the terrific speed at which it travelled.”
