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.”
