Another unusual incident, subject of an official State Depart-
ment report, occurred on May, 1964, at Canberra, Australia.
Just before dawn, several ground observers near Canberra
saw a large white-glowing object traveling northeast across the
dark sky. It moved with an odd wobble as though losing power,
or partly out of control. Then the observers saw a smaller ob-
ject, visible with a faint red light, havering ahead. The large
white device flew straight toward the small U O and appeared to
strike it, bouncing back. Then the large UFO turned, no longer
wobbling, and raced out of sight. The small red light sputtered
and then disappeared. (It has been suggested that this could have
been some unknown type refueling or recharging process.)
The observers' repot was investigated by the Scientif:c At- 67
tache of the American Embass t Canberra, Dr. Paul Siple, and
by two NASA engineers. y concluded that the objects were
not any known earthmade craft and they had no explanation for
the sighting. The report was sent via Airgram A-894 to the State
Department, which forwarded copies to the Central Intelligence
Agency, the National Security Agency, NASA, the Army and the
Navy.

MARCH-APRIL, 1965
Incident In Australia
Officials s Excited!
A report t forwarded by the Victorian
Flying Saucer Research b Society is most
interesting although now a year old:
"On Max3 lo64,an_incident occurred
which sent officials of the U.S. State De-
partment to I rush out reports to the CIA,
the National Security Agency, the Nation-
al Aeronautics and Space Administration,
and the Army and the Navy. The inci-
dent was investigated by the Scientific .
Attache of the American Embassy at Can-
berra, Dr. Paul Siple and two NASA
engineers.
Just before day near Canberra, a large,
white glowing object travelled R across the
sky in n a northeast direction. The object
was wobbiing and appeared to the observ-
ers to be out of control. Nearby a small-
er UFO hovered, showing a faint red
light. The large UFO moved in
straight line very fast for about four
seconds and appeared to collide with the
smaller UFO. The impact seemed to
cause both to bounce. There was no ex-
plosion.
The large UFO then turned, no longer
wobbling, moved slowly away from the
smaller UFO, then accelerated away at
a very high speed.

ment. repurt,' occurred on May, 1964, at Canberra, Australia,
Just before dawn, several ground observers near Canberra
saw a large white-glowing object traveling northeast across the
dark sky. It moved with an odd wobble as though losing power,

white device flew straight toward the small UFO and appeared to
strike it, bouncing back. Then the large UFO turned, no longer
wobbling, and raced out of sight. The small red light sputtered
and then disappeared. (It has been suggested that this could have
