- PRELIMINARY REPORT ON COONABARABRAN AREA UFO ACTIVITY
- by Bill Chalker
-
- The "Coonabarabran Times" of Coonabarabran, New South Wales, Australia, in
- its November 17th, 1994 issue, carried brief details of an apparent close
- encounter with a diamond shaped UFO near ground level on November 15th,
- 1994, on the Mendooran road.
- I have now interviewed the 4 principal witnesses to this apparent close
- encounter. On the information supplied to date no apparent explanation can
- be offered for this striking case.
- It was intially seen as a large light source hovering over the nearby road.
- An approaching car appears to has precipitated the object moving off and
- coming slowly closer to the farm house, where 4 adults observed it. At its
- closest point all witnesses described it as diamond shaped with lights
- around the edges, with window like structures within the body of it.
- There was a very bright yellow light inside it. It appeared to be a tree
- height and of massive dimensions. As the 4 adults left the house verandah
- to go closer to the silent object which seemed to be only 300 yards away
- and slowly passing along side the house area, it then accelerated at a
- phenomenal speed. It disappeared in the distance. It was at this point
- that a tremendous high pitched engine noise was heard, almost like a sonic
- wave. This was noticed after the object had passed by.
-
- At least 6 weeks earlier a massive light was seen near the property.
- It appears neighbours also saw the November 15th object. They are to
- be interviewed.
- Information was also gathered on a number of other potentially interesting
-
- cases:
- * On possibly the same night a driver coming from Sydney to Coonabarabran
- had an encounter in which the radio and other electrical items were effected.
- * I spoke with a gentleman who witnessed another massive diamond shaped
- object while timber cutting near Binaway, back in about 1979. His companion
- allegedly took a photograph which my informat indicates he saw. It
- apparently showed a silvery shape with sections without the observed lights.
- The informant states he was told the army took the photo and he believes
- that his companion ended up in a mental home. He implied it was due to the
- photo incident. * Another informant indicated he had heard directly from a
- Murray Bridge (SA) who had bought a property in the Coonabarabran area.
- This man reported that back at the time of the Valentich appearance he had
- been on his property working with equipment. He had heard noise over the
- equipment which seemed to come from a large object hovering above him.
- Some "oil" like material could be seen coming down from this object. The
- most bizarre element of this tale was that the farmer saw a plane wing
- embedded in the side of the UFO. This wing or part of a part allegedly
- had identification numbers on it which coincided with the Valentich
- aircraft! Obviously this story requires more information. I have this
- nagging feeling I've heard something like this story before. Anyone else
- have any info?
-
- * Another sighting out Moree way, about a decade ago, involving young man
- night ploughing. Beam of light lit up the area. Where the beam touched
- the ground there grass was allegedly burnt. I had a similar case out Cowra
- way! Investigations are continuing.
- Regards, Bill Chalker.
