Location: Nambour, Queensland, Australia

Date: 1933 (or 1932) Time: 14:00

The location was about half a mile west of Nambour and the area was on a small creek running through the family farm with a small swampy area to one side of the creek. There was also a small hill right around the base where the swampy pools lay. The witness was playing with a group of boys and girls in the vicinity of this small hill and at one stage she wandered off some distance from them and approached a tall growth of grass with grew at the foot of the hill. She put both hands up in front of her and parted the grass to look through.

She heard a low humming sound and saw a round object directly in front of her about 4 feet away. It looked the same shape as if two ordinary saucers were placed face to face and then turned on their sides. There was a small circle around the top of the top dome of the object and about three quarters of the way up to the top dome was curved upward into a smaller dome, but not like a button, more gently curved. The color of the object was a silver grey and it was 12 inches in diameter and hovered 3 inches above the surface of the water. There was a slight, almost imperceptible shiver of the waters surface directly below the object causing waves of concentric circles as if it was directing a force in order to stay in the air. The object remained perfectly still over the same spot and as she bent forward to look more closely, the humming rose suddenly in pitch and volume. At the same time a whitish mist began to form between her and the object, but remained close to it. She could still see through it like one can see through a nylon cloth woven finely. At the same time the mist began to rom, the witness began to feel a tight feeling in her head, and as the noise increased she let go of the tall grass and stepped back. She couldn’t see it anymore and felt stunned in the head, but she could still hear it humming behind the tall grass. She didn’t see any holes, vent, flaps, rudders, hatches, light housings, legs, landing gear, markings, lettering etc, just a smooth surface as you would expect of a high speed flying machine.

She didn’t touch it or get closer than 4 feet at any time. Soon afterwards everyone decided to go up to the house and on the way one girl said suddenly, ‘What was that?” as something flew up between the trees. Someone answered that it was a magpie, “No it wasn’t” replied the first girl. The witness didn’t see anything but she knew it was the object flying off. That night she noticed large white blisters on both of her hands and she felt out of sorts. The blisters were the size of a three-penny (five cent piece) and were pure white. Sometime during the night while asleep, most of the blisters burst, and the one or two remaining burst during the next day with a clear fluid like water being released and she felt better after that.
