IN l'tiii'LY QUonl3.5/2/ll ................. . - 7. OCT. 195 5

Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon.

Attached for your information is a report concerning the above forwarded to this office from Melbourne Airport,

A~ (R.D. HEA~. )

for Regional Director.

Report to O.I.C:

3/10/55

Weather Office Essendon Airport.

On the above date, following observation was made by undersigned:-

At locality 200 yards North of Vlindsor Rail Station, at 0737z, an object which resembled a cluster of brilliant electric light globes was observed above the Eastern horizon, travelling in an apparent Northerly direction. The object was first seen at an approximate bearing 080°T (the Eastern bearing of the Street). Observation of the (apparently) swiftly movinG object was necessarily limited to a period of (estimated) 20-30 sees. The brilliant object appeared to describe a descending path from 080°T until it was lost behind a roof top horizon at estimated 040°T. Estimated angle of elevation start of observation about 15/20°- End of obs. 10/15°.

Weather observation taken at time:-

OVercast cloud 3/4000 1 • Very small cloud breaks to blue sky to s. & E. Hind very light SN. Vis . excellent to 50 miles +• No observed virga or evidence of showers or electro meteoric activity. Hydrometeoric occurrence only stratiform.

Remarks :-

The observation was first made whilst driving a motor vehicle in an eaterly direction. It was continued (at some personal risk) for period 20-30 sees. The vehicle was rather abruptly brought to halt in an endeavour to continue obs . The object had then disappeared below the surrounding rooftop horizon. During the observation, the observer thrust head through side window of vehicle. The object was still observed similarly as it first appeared.

Form of Ob ect:- An elliptical cluster (brilliant) Vl'ith major axis U-S estimated N-S axis about 3 times that of minor).

Distance of Ob ect from Observer:- Estimated 15-20 miles (based on angle of elev. Possibly to 30 miles on personal estimation.

0 Speed of Object:- Estimated very high (hovered 10 of azimuth in 30-30 sees.) Very personal estimate based on aircraft movement at that distance and elev. - 800/1500 mph or greater (may be computed).

Personal Thougnt:- The undersigned has an open mind on so-called "Flying Saucers" and such alleged phenomena. He is reporting the optical facts of his observation. He was particularly careful that any reflectional or refractional effects due to his vehicle windscreen should not mar the obs. He also made an "on the spot" obs. of weather elements , and the possible effects of reflection and refraction of solar radiation {direct) is considered negligible.

2 .

\ Conclusion: - Nil , scientifically.

A reputable and reliable acquaintance of undersigned , who is an Aircraft Pilot of very long experience, once reported a similar occurrence in appr oximately the same area . His observation was from ground, (after sunset) .

I consider that nonnal aircraft movements in the area could not explain the above observation.

I GliTU{G OF

1. ttnched herewith is a report ot an .aerial objeot sight ed a t the Sohool of R dio, A •• F. Ballarat at 0300 hours on the 4th Ootober, 1954.

2. Apprentice ~f\HMAT ITLLAH KHAN (PAKIST N 85178) wbo sighted the object whilst on guard duty w s interrogated by the Staff Off ic er In elligence.

3e Apprentice IDIAN submit t ed a writt en r eport (att ached her ewith) some five d ya prior to being interrogated. During the interrog~tion efforts we re m de to foroe him to devi te f rom some or his e rli ~r st tementa , but throughout he w a consistent in every det qil. His r•epor t i s therefore considered

8 be ing sincere.

4. liowever, when questioned on the delay from when he fi r st sighted the objeot (0300 hours) until he reported the sighting (0600 hours) pprent i ce Kh~n e~ve the foll~wing expl nations: -

{ ) Being sensitive to ridicule he or i ginqlly did not intend t o report the sighting.

(b) \lhen he sighted the ob jeot he w s so frightened he retre t ed to the sentry box Qnd re~1 ined oit•i ng on the f l oor unt l d 1wn.

lle did not oone1der the Si i hting of qeri 1 phenomena o m within the ~onnnl oourse of his Outy.

It is ag inst his x•el1gioue belieta to recogni se any such phenomena.

After careful consideration h e disr egarded the t'oreeoing and deoided to r epor t the e1c..ht1ng to his Comm ndinc Officer.

5. The Officer in Cha rge of pprent i cea, F/ O. HILL , was i nterviewed , an~ his assessment of KliAll was "ainoere an~ conscientious in hie Y:lo rk , but hAS em&tional tendencies" .

6. It is interest i ng to note pprentioe KH N, not havi ng been is su d with a~unition , fired his r1~e a t what he aaw. This may ten~ to indicate some form of p ntc , a nd if ao may render h i s eta ement not wholly reli bl e nnd therefore some t oler noe of err or mgy be expeated. He sta t ed th t t.he durati on o f sighting w1s qpproxlm tely eigbt to ten seconds only.

1. Sorn six mi l es to he North eat (the direction where the objeot w~e first sighted) of the ~chool of R d1o re hill s ov r whloh pass ro da. The cloud b sft' w·•s eigbt- eigbts a t l OOQ-1500 teet. The posotbllity of ~ c ar with bright bead 1 mp1 p sai ng over undulqt i ng oountry , the llchfe being retleoted in he clouds , o~ nnot be discounted.

B. Apprentice ~IAN has assessed the speed of the object a s ap proxim·~ tely 1000 miles per hour (comparing i ~ s speed with th~t or atto~ker a ircraft which he has seen in flight at Karachi~ A~tbough travelling at this speed , no sound was audible.

I

9• The probability of an existing 'Fire Ball' cannot be discounted. Dr. Loewe of the School of Meteorology, Melbourne University ha s been approached on the subject of Fire Balla and he haa given the following information : -

"Fire Balls pertnin to a rare electrical phenomenon associated with electrical storms or dust in the atmos-phere. They normally occur in showery weather, usually at height or near the g~und. They are usually observed as a bright red glow and mny trnvel at terrific speeds, hover, change d1,reot1on rapidly ~nd mny disappe11r through cloud. Although this phenomenon is rare and lit.t.le is Known of them they hqve been sighted nd do exist" .

10. Dr. Loewe considers thnt from the description and ciroumst ~noes con~erning the time, loc 1tion qnd cl1mqtic condit i ons the object si ghteu could hvve been n Fire Ball.

11. It is suggested thqt the object sighted ~t School of R~dio, B~ll~rqt, · t 0300 hours on the 4th 'ugust, 1954 w~ s n Fire B~ll.

Dear Sir ,

11. 8. 54

Further-to our phone conversation this morning regarding strange light seen by my son on Vonday evening, I herewith give details :-

Time . &>nday evening 9th inst . about dusk exact time not noted but approx. 5.20pm/

Appearance. Bri ght green object with short tail.

Position. Bearing 190 altitude 15 when sighted and disappeared bearing 180 altitude 5

He told me that it looked like a very bri~~t meteor and presumed it contained copper as it was burning with a ~een light.

Sounds a bit fantastic but as the radio requested information I thought it might be of some use .

Yours faithfully

The Regional Director, CIVn. AVIATION DEP.A..~TT , 522 Little Collins Street, MELBOURNE.

Dear Sir,

12 Gladstone Street, EASt COBURG.

15 June 1954.

In the interests of science I feel that I should make the following report. I neither seek publicity or suffer from imagination.

On Monday evening June 14th 1954 I and nine other people watched an object in the sky for approximately ten minutes until it finally appeared to glide u~vards and disappear. I will give you the names andaddresses of the people who saw this object should you wish to contact them and verify the following descript-ion of what we saw:-

Drawing a line due west from 12 Gladstone Street, East Coburg, for approximately ten miles; then, North of that Spot 5 degrees would fix the approximate position of the object. At first sight the object could be mistaken for a large brilliant star. It moved about the sky at sometimes a very fast speed : at others it hovered motionless. It appeared to dim and leave a thin complete circle of light, the centre being dark with a slight duskiness. After rising and falling, hovering at different times, it finally formed this thin circle of light and rose upwards and disappeared.

We people who observed this object are well used to aeroplanes coming and going from Essendon : sometimes we see them use their headlights . I myself spent almost 2·~ years in the lltiddle East and have seen planes caught in searchlights. I also occasionally have seen car headlights reflected on low cloud in the hilly country around Ararat where I lived for nine years, but I say here and now that this object we people saw had no relation to any of those things .

The following are the names and addresses of the people who saw this object~-

Self -Harold Lucas. Alma Luc3s. George Lucas. Olive Lucas and Evelyn Lucas - all of 12 Gladstone St., East Coburg .

Miss Patricia Paxman, 1? Malcolm St., East Coburg .

Mr. and Mrs. H. Riley, 10 Gladstone St. , East Coburg.

Mr . and Mrs. P . Foe, 10 Gladstone st., East Coburg.

Please treat this report as being solely in the interests of Science .

I remain, Yours respectfully

(Sgd . ) Harold Lucas)

P. S . - I myself saw this same object three weeks previously.

J_ STATEMENT BY M.E. WEBB ATC GRl - CAMBRIDGE AIRPORT.

Mr. B. Hart, A .N .A. Engineer reported that he, ia company with Messrs. M. Blackwell and T. Allen of Vacuum Oil Co., sighted and followed the flight ot an unidentified aircraft flying at high speed several miles to the North of Camaridge.

It was assumed to ae conventional design and possialy smaller than a DC3.

The aircraft appeared trom aehind Mt. Lord travelli.D& at high speed from West to East low on the horizon in straight and level flight slightly aaove the range of hills to the North East of the field. The aircraft was 1n full view tor approximately li minutes and disappeared trom view tly1ug 1n a Norta Easterly direction.

Suaaequent enquiries with Lauaceston Operations revea.led that the only ott-schedule movement was that ot a R.A.A.F. Can-.erra (MOD) 1n transit LAV j)JCO/KELSO/BLA. 0'H Kelso 0238 25000 tt. ETA BLA 0300 •

Launceston Operations advised that no stage was this aircraft South ot Kelso or aelow 25000 ft.

31st Kay, 1954.

STATEMENT BY WILLIAM CLAUDE HART - ENGINEER, AUSl'R.ALIAN NATIONAL AIRNAYS - CAMBRIDGE AIRPORl'.

At approximately 1315 brs. whilst in company with Thomas Allen and Maxwell Blackwall (employees ot Vacuum Oil Coy) I o'aserved what appeared to 'ae an aircraft of an unspecified type 'aut of apparently convensional fuselage style flying to the N/E or Cam'aridge Airport.

2. The o'aject appeared to 'ae flyiDg at approximately 3500 ft. and at very high speed in a South Easterly direction. The o'ajeot was in sight tor at least 90 seconds and was olearly Tisi'ale 'aut at a distance of approx~ately 10/15 miles which precluded a clear view of detailed structure other than general fuselage shape.

P~OPLE IN THIS "SAUCER", SAYS D VID

AT fantastic speed, a "flying saucer''

dived over East Mal-vern early yesterday ..• and, according to lC- ye ... r - old David Reese, it seemed to have people in it. ~and five friends

saw the object - "oval-shaped and as big as a railway carriage" - as they were leaving a friend'" home in Wil-mot-st... East Malvern.

" I could distinctly see dark .. hapes in the ob-Ject" he said. "If I had seen the same shapes In an aeroplane I would have said they were people."

Reports agreed Reese, of St. Kilda-st.,

Elwood. said that de-scriptions whioh he and h1s friends later wrote

lxlut U1e ObJeCt agreed almost exactly.

"We saw the object for about five secon~" he said. ··one thing I cannot explain is that. wh1le it seemed to move at a fantastic speed. it also had a floa tin~t grace."

"At the bottom of Its din. '70 feet up and 60 yard.'! away, it belched out a yellow, gaseous matter from its stern.

ur t did not fade away, but disappeared quite suddenly as if someone had switched out a light,'' he ended.
