ort of an e�rience with it: .
· "On the night of De c . 27th. , 1 95 5 , at abo�t 1 0 . 1 5
.

p . m. the bell rang . I thought I had j olted the needle and

didn ' t take much notice for a few mo�ents . Then I thought
1 I t �on ! t hurt to have a lo9k 1 � so I went . outside � . was
looking about when a very bright olue-whi te obj ect aho.t /

across the sky. It .seemed to be very J.m-1, a,.nd headed fo.r .

the Earth in a s ]j ght curve like a metaor, yet it seemed
to_ flutter , like s o 11 (Mr . l11illikan drew a ·zig-za.g line. ) .
11It ·was more or les s like a medium s i zed skyro cket , vrith
a glowing tail. It trave lled at a speed comparable vTith a
. toy · rocket. Just before it burned out it turned a decided
greenish colour. There was no sou,nd , and it was visible
for perhaps 2 - 3 s econds • . The sky was . clear except
. ·for
an odd cloud or two . 11
j Coincidence ? Perhaps s o . But we �ust stretch the
coincidence a little further. Fiftee� minutes later, some
people in Adelaide saw . a ·c igar-s:b.a ped <Jbj ect, Ugivil g off
a reddish glow11 , which cannot be a(:!co\,lnted for (See. .
1i Press Digest11 , P. 22 . ) A few more such cases �ould forge
• . .

a valuable �nk in the chain 0� evidence .
