PARRAMATTA, NSW, 25 JULY 1868
Mr. F.W. Birmingham, a surveyor, experienced a vision involving heads floating by him before he saw an 'ark' pass him and land in Parramatta Park. He heard a voice ask if he would like to enter the ark and when he replied that he would he was 'floated' to it. A humanoid being, "like a neutral tint shade", showed him around the craft before disappearing. The man woke up as per normal the next day but maintained it was no dream.

As he approached for a closer look a 'man' in strange clothing emerged and when the farmer walked toward him the alien shone some kind of 'torch' at him and the farmer collapsed. When he came to the craft and occupant were gone and his hand which had been hit by the 'torchbeam' was paralysed for life.

A man travelling a remote road came across an object on the road. He noticed a 'man' apparently working on it and went forward to offer his assistance.

NAMBOUR, QLD, MARCH 1932

A young boy observed a UFO and came to within a metre of it before a white mist appeared between him and the craft. He felt a "tight feeling in his head" and fell over, dazed. That night there were large white blisters on his hands and he felt "out of sorts". The blisters burst later that same night secreting a clear, watery fluid. The boy then felt better.

The object then left at tremendous speed and disappeared in seconds.

CAULFIELD, VIC, 9 OCT 1953 4PM
Strange grey-white filaments were found. They seemed to disintegrate into thin air on handling, leaving no trace whatsoever.

It was one metre high. Now there is just 2.5cm of material left, still in the same container.
