UAO's Upset TY Necozi3n

Almost all of the 140 residents of
Wonthaggi, South Dudley, Australia,
watched an object “like an orange

—<— =

beach ball” which moved slowly across .

the sky and out over the sea at about
7:50 p.m. on the 19th of September 1963.

PMG Lineman Tom Lymer, 45, said, |

“It was flashing on and off like an air- |

craft light but it was many times bigger
and brighter and moving slower than a

plane.” It was first sighted by children |

at a playground who rushed: home and
informed their parents who spread the
word. A party of six members of the
Victorian FS Research Society journeyed
to Wonthaggi and the following is the
information relayed here to APRO by
Secretary Sylvia Sutton and Judith Ma-

gee; as well as information from the |

newspaper reports.

Tom Lymer added to his statement:
“Suddenly flame shot out and it traveled
at a tremendous speed. We all lost it

- _ >

for 2 few moments, then the kids

picked it up in the south. It was hover-
ing. I ran inside to the wife and told
her there was a flying saucer outside.
She 'aughed at me. But when she came

out and had a look she changed her
mind.”

Tom Ruby, 48, truck driver from South
Dudley, said that after hovering, and
still flashing on and off brightly, the
strange object moved over the sea and
disappeared. During the 25 minutes it
was about, every TY set in Wonthaggi
and South Dudley behaved “crazily.”
Some screens went blank, others pro-

duced a double picture, others only

lines and some were just “snowy.”

Mrs. Sutton reported: Mr. Lymer, the

lineman, confirmed the reports pub-
lished in the newspapers. John. Waters,
17-yearold student, saw two objects on
Saturday night. One appeared first,
travelling in an arc but not stopping and
the second object came over a little
higher and followed the same trajectory.

Des Pugh, 15, saw one object on Fri-

day and Saturday nights. Brian Pugh, 12,
saw one object on Wednesday, Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday nights. Joyce
Pugh, 7, saw two objects on Saturday
night. Mr. Chris Jolly, retired farmer,
Saw one object on Saturday night. All

agreed that the time was about the
Same on each night.

- Prior to any newspaper reports, at
about 8:15 p.m., on Thursday, 19 Sep-
tember, Mrs. Sutton had received a phone
call from a man at Mt. Eliza. He de
scribed a similar orange-colored’ object
with flashing or blinking lights, travel-
ing in a south to southeasterly direc-
tion. He and his family watched until it
finally disappeared. This man asked if
there had been any other reports given
to Mrs. Sutton. She said there had been
none up to that time. From his home.
at Mt. Eliza, Wonthaggi and Dudley.
South would have been in the direction
in which he saw the object. Mrs. Sut-
fon called the Air Force, the Weather
Bureau, Civil Aviation and the Moorabin
Light Aireraft and established that there
were no balloons, kites, planes, etc., in
the area at that time.

Mrs. Sutton also stated in her re.
port, that when a disc-shaped object
came down over Charles Brews’ milking
shed near Willow. Grove in Gippsland,
District, there was no effect on the

milking machine—which was driven by
diesel fuel. In the Gippsland District in
the Latrobe Valley. area, which pro-
duces. one half of the electric power
for the State of Victoria plans are in
‘progress for supplying even more of the
‘State’s electric power. Also Wonthaggi
and Dudley South are both coal mining
‘towns. She then pointed out that UFOs
appear to be preoccupied with locations
of scientific and industrial importance.

Eqg-Shaped Object in Ark.

Mr. Frank Hudson, from his home near
Huntsville, Arkansas, made an interest-
ing observation of an egg-shaped object
on 20 September 1963. At 6:55 p. m., CST,
with good seeing conditions, the UFO
was first seen moving very slowly west-
ward about 10 degrees above the South-
ern horizon, and was visible at first as
an over-size star-like object, its light be-
ing bright and steady. Through binocu-
lars the object appeared as an ©2568 in
position so that the narrow part was
pointing toward the ground. Near the
top or large part of the object, was a
dark area which at intervals moved
downward toward what would be descrih-
ed as the middle part or midway be-
tween the two ends.

As time passed the object faded and
turned to what was described as an
orange color before it disappeared.

Mr. Hudson said the object disappeat-
ed because there was no sunlight shining
on the object or light emanating from it.
The possibility that this object may have
been a balloon of some kind has neither
been confirmed or disproved. Hudson has
seen similar objects on May 9 and 10,
1956 and on Otober 31, 1960.

Bright Sphere
Near Home In Mo.

At about 12:30 a. m. on September 24,
1963, a bright spherical jight was seen
hovering over trees some 100 yards from
the front porch of Mrs. James Patterson
who lives near Powell Park, in St.
Charles, Missourl, A total of three peo-
ple witnessed the object when it was
first seen. However, the light quickly dis-
appeared as it moved away. Sheriff's dep-
uties were called upon to investigate.
They saw the light but upon approaching
it the object disappeared.

stars visible at that time of year.

Usingg any three stars in the sky, you
could draw lines between them and tnake
a triangle. But now you cam see one such
triangle thar is particularly protninent.
Sometimes called the “summer triangle’
because it is high overhead in that season,
it is also visible in early auturnn.

Directly overhead at the times for which
our maps are drawn is the constellation of
Cygnus, the swan; partly on the northern
map, partly on the southern, This group 1s
also called the “Northern Cross.” At the top,
toward the northeast, ts the star called
Deneb. Just to the west is Lyra, the lyre,
with Vega. And toward the south ts Aquila,
the eagle, with Altair, It is this trio of stars
~-Vega, Altair and Deneb—that form the
summer triangle.

All three of these stars are of the first
magnitude, meaning that they are among
the brightest stars in the sky. However, they
Je vary considerably in brightness, Vega ts

car the head of the list of first magnituce
stars. Deneb, however, is near the bottein—

Kent visitor

The Junch edition of the

London Evening Standard on
september 19 carried the fol-

lowing itern in its Kent News-
letter” section: “A mysterious
nocturnal object with an orange-
red glow has been sighted hover-
ing over Kent coast’ towns and
has led toa spate of flying saucer
rumours. It was first seen at
Margate by Mr. Taffy Rooke, a

revable witness, A few days later
there was a sighting at Ramsgate.
The latest is by a couple at Herne
Bay. The B.AF. at Munston has
no idea what the object can be.
Each time it appeared to hover
a few hundred feet up before
rapidly flying off to sea.”

Mr. Peter J. Kelly has drawn
our attention to a letter which
appeared in the Southern Even-
ing Echo on September 6. The
correspondent, whose name and
address were supplied to the
editor of the newspaper signs
himself “Curious.” The letter
yeads as follows: “ Every night
between Ll p.m. and midnight
(B.S.T.) a bricht light appests in
the sky just over the roof tops
practically due east. It has the
appearance of a very bright star;
‘+ travels very, VeTY slowly up-
ward and towards the south, not

but upward at

rising vertically
which is always the

sare. Can
readers tell me the source
light and what it is?”

A large meteorite which flashec across the skies of Southern Cale
ifornia in daylight last September 3rd was the object an intense search by
| scientists, who were hopeful of finding in it foss
istence of life on other worlds. Previous claims of fossil finds in meteorites
hava been doubted or discounted because the meteorites were found long af tex
allowing tims for earth materials to contaminate the specimen. This

Lancashire sky puzzle

Irom the Lancashire Evening

Post, September 12: “ Mr. T. W. |

Turner, of Liverpool Koad,
Hutton, describes an unusual
sight in the sky when travelling
from Broughton-in-F urmess to

Greenodd, on Sunday night in a
letter to the Post: ‘The sky to
the west was filled with a peculiar
vellow glow, not unlike that from
liurn street lamps. I watched
we spectacle for about 30
seconds during which jis bril-
liance Steadily increased to a
inaximum at which it remained
for about five seconds, hefore
fading as Sradualiy as it in-
creased, Mystified, T resumed my
journey, but had no sooner got
under way than the display was
repeated.

"A curious feature was that
the light was not reflected from
the under-side of the cloud Jayer,
as would have been the case had
it come from a conflagration on
the ground, but shone through
and obviously came from above.’

“Mr. Taylor thinks that the
spectacle was caused by a satel-
hie’s re-entry into the earth’s
atmosphere, but, he queries,
would a satellite be visible for
ten minutes? He saw the glow in
the sky at abont 9.45 p.m., fifteen
minutes earlier — than Mrs.
Tindsley, and he thinks it pos-
sible that her sighting was only
an approximation.”

Texas Tower Men See Ligh?

Nineteen men aboard Texas Tower II
of Cape Cod, including foreman Patrick
- Loreno, reported an unusual experience
_ which appeared to be the nautical equiv-
atent of a flying saucer sighting on the
night of 12 September 1963.

Tower personnel called in by radio to
the Coast Guard to request an investi-
‘ gation of an object they spotted 3 miles
from their location. The Coast Guard
dispatched a boat but the object seen
by the Tower men had sunk before the

boat reached the area where the object |
was seen. A subsequent search by plane |

which took over an hour revealed noth- |

ing.

The Coast Guard told the Staten Is-

land Advance that “They (the Tower
personnel) say it had a controlled white

light and smoke appeared on the surface
and seemed like steam.”

Loreno is in charge of the crew which

had been dismantling the tower—which
was a part of the early warning raviar
defense network. The sighting of jhe
mysterious object was made at a time
when visibility was “excellent”—accord-
ing to the Coast Guard all 19 men saw
the object for a period of 20 minites.
