Professor Bart Bok, of the Mt. Stromlo observatory, saw a brightly-lit object as
it sailed across the sky on 30 May 1963. They watched it for a period of one min-
ute and gave this description: It was self-luminous and not glowing from re-
flecting the rays of the sun. It was
orange-red in color and traveled from west to east, passing almost directly over
the observatory. It could not have been a meteor because it was far too slow and
did not leave a train that a meteor of its size would have made. It appeared
to be traveling too fast for a balloon. It appeared to be below a light cloud and
did not change brightness in the 60 sec-
