The whole article:
“Writing in The Advertiser, Mr. F. W. Flavel of Lock, Eyre Peninsula , states: ‘I saw objects in the sky between
7 and 8 o’clock the same day (5 February 1947) as you received a report from
Port Augusta. I was walking in a north-westerly direction to the house after feeding
the pigs. There were five of the strange objects and they seemed to be coming
up out of the sea, like a shadow with smoky greyish color around them. ‘They
were oblong with narrow points. I saw them quite plainly. They seemed to be
floating in the air from north-west to south-east and caused a shadow.’ ”
This appears to be an unidentified submerged object
(USO)/UFO incident.
Lock is located 78 kilometres (48 miles ) south west of
the town of Kimba
