"There's a big torch in the window!"
Item from the New Zealand press:
"Mrs. [E.J.] Johnson said today she was awakened at about 3:20a.m. by her 9
-year-old daughter Jackie.
"'There's a big torch in the window!' exclaimed Jackie.
"Looking through her window, Mrs. Johnson said she saw an oval-shaped object, the apparent size ofthe full moon-but the moon was in the west.
"It appeared to be from 300 feet to 500 feet above the ground and across the
road east of the house.
"The object, she said, was 'dazzling white, and its light was shining through
the window.
"'It disappeared in a north-easterly direction, and by the time I had got to the
window it had come back into sight again,' said Mrs. Johnson.
"She added that the object climbed about 1,500 feet and described a full clockwise circle before disappearing towards the east.
"The time was then 3:25 a.m.
"Mrs. Johnson said ... that:
"*There was no noise.
"*There were no clouds to obscure the object, and no vapour trails.
"* The object was dazzling white, 'almost like the sun ... '
"Of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson's five children, only Jackie and Pamela saw the object.
Mrs. Johnson, like the other three youngsters, slept through the visitation." (xx.)

Odd ''tadpole."
A Hawke's Bay paper printed a story about three painters who saw a strange object moving
across the sky from the southwest to the west 10:15 Monday night near Herbertville:
"The men, Messrs, W. Jenkins, B. McLean and P. McLean, are convinced that
it was-neither a star nor an aeroplane.
"Mr. Jenkins said that he had been sitting in the shearer's quarters on Mr. C.F.
Franklin's property, when suddenly a brilliant orange light appeared in the sky.
"'At first I thought it must have been a star, but on closer inspection I knew it
wasn't, as it was moving too fast.'
"He called his mates and the three studied the object as it moved away.

"Mr. Jenkins said the object was tadpole-shaped, with four small brighter lights
around it. It was moving fairly fast but occasionally hovered with a sort of swaying
motion, moving in a wide circle. After about 20 minutes the object moved away,
growing dimmer, and the outside lights closed in as it disappeared over the horizon.
"He had never seen a similar object before, he said, and had been sceptical of
flying saucer reports." (xx.)

the two ladies tried to recover some things they had left out in the open. Senora Rossi
was asleep. Both ladies observed a strange opaque mass coming straight towards
them. When only some 15 meters or so from them, it changed course rapidly and
vanished into the night. In size and appearance it resembled the fuselage of an ordinary passenger air-liner, but with out wings. A number of small rectangles could be
seen along its body. It bore no lights and emitted no perceptible sound. It was flying
at a height of not more than eight to ten meters." (xx.)

An unidentified Hying object was Reen by five people
at Murchison last Saturday evening 'about I 0 . 30. They
watched it for approximately 20 minutes and later a tape·
recording of impressions was made by three of the party.
Those who saw it were Mr Ken H<>rner, li Six Mile farmer,
his wife, and Mr and Mrs Jack Hill (junior) and their
daughter. Mr Hill is a farmer and engin.,ering contractor
in Murchison . The tape-recording was forward~d . to "The
Mail'' by Mr T. W. Monahan, Four River Plain, Murchison,
and it is from this recording that their story is written.

WIFE "YELLED OUT"
Mr Hill said: "I was expectini

She went c:utside · to get a shovel

"I was extremely curious. I was

"Th'e re's . on a thing-it was unmistakeably a foreign object. It

UFOs over power stations?
In the "World round-up" section of the Flying Saucer Review was this item:
"Following a report of a flying saucer over Dunston Power Station [a 1960 case],
Mrs. Ruth Pine of 3 Mariners Cot., near Acomb, Hexham was prompted to write to
the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Evening Chronicle to add her testimony. Her sighting occurred last September, 1959 when she saw a UFO over the Stella Power Station at
Blaydon.
"The object was in view for some time as the train on which she was travelling
was going slowly before entering the station. The object was circular, with a dome on
top in which Mrs. Pine could see portholes quite plainly. It was station~y for a few
minutes and then it banked deeply and soared away at a very high speed until it disappeared. Farther away in the distance, above some houses, she saw another object
shaped like a pencil: this was also stationary. Mrs. Pine told a few of her friends, but
as she met with ridicule she kept quiet about her experience until she read that someone else had seen similar objects. Mrs. Pine expressed the hope that now she would
be believed." (xx.)

UFO over house.
According to our source:
"In the Autumn of 1959, towards evening, I can't remember the exact date; I was
strolling home when I looked up to the night sky. I stopped and was astounded at the
remarkable thing which hovered in the sky above my house. Controlling my excitement
I observed it for a long time, and the thing showed itself to be a giant UFO, round with a
black bottom and surrounded by an unusual dark violet to light blue shimmering light
which fascinated me. I estimated its height to be about 9,000 - 15,000 feet.
"It hovered above me and I felt it was watching me in my environment. Amazed
at this wonderful sig~t, I stared at the object. An interesting fact was that the light sur-
rounding it greatly resembled a jagged flame of gas. Suddenly, after a time, the shimmering light disappeared, apparently into nothingness, and despite my practiced eye, I
could not be sure of the direction it took, as the thing.merged into the surrounding blackness." ·cxx.)

hawk overhead caused Mr. W.T. Turner, at his home on 'The Downs,' to look skyward

called to his wife, who also watched the object disappear across the plains in the
direction of Christchurch.
"Mr. Turner said yesterday that he estimated the object to be about 1,500 feet
high in the sky, and travelling at great speed without sound.

The Review added:
"This message was sent on October 17, 1959, at about 7 p.m. The objects were also
seen by one ofthe passengers, who was later interviewed by a reporter. On the previous
day, October 15, halfthe population ofTandil-a small town in the province ofBuenos
Aires to the west ofMardel Plata-also saw a flying saucer. The nearby airbase was informed, but when the.plane which was to have intercepted it arrived, the saucer had disappeared." (xx.)

Hunters followed?

According to our source:
"Four hunters described how, on Sunday, October 25, 1959, a glowing, oval-shaped
light hovered over their car for thirty miles as they drove along the trans-Canada highway
west ofFort William.
"The hunters-Douglas Robinson, Victor Arnone, Ray Disguiseppe and John Defilppo, all of Port Arthur-said they were driving back to the Lakehead after a weekend of
hunting deer and partridge when they noticed a white light about forty feet above and
ahead of the car. 'It was oval-shaped and kept spinning above us,' said Mr. Robinson.
'We stopped, but we didn't roll down the window to hear if it was making any noise.' He
said the light stopped when the car stopped and moved again when they drove on. It was
sometimes ahead of the car and sometimes behind. Finally, it veered away and disappeared." (xx.)

6 November. Invercargill, New Zealand. (between 11:30 p.m. and 11 :45 p.m.)
Eerie "thing" paces car. (See clipping below)
An Invercargill mechanic who
was returning to his Otatara
home on Friday night had the
uncanny experience of driving
along the road with an unIdentified object keeping · him
pace In the sky.
The man , who wishes to remain
anonymous, said that he first
sigh ted the object wh : J he was
nearing the airport. It was between 11 .30 and 11.45 p.m. when
his attention was drawn to an unusual light in the sky. It was
crescent-shaped with more of glow
about . it than a brilliant light, he
told The News this afternoon.
"The edges of it were clearly
enough d-.)fined," he said,' "but I
eould tell there was some darker
unlit shape in the centre of it.
Th~re was a depth there but I
couldn't tell you the exact shape
of the rest of it."
There was no suggestion in the
man's mind that it was either the
moon or a weather balloon. In the
first place there was no moon on
Friday night, and secondly the
angle was not r ight.
At this stage, the object took off
and headed behind the bell of trees
at the back of the airport, and
the mechanic accelerated his car
in an effort to catch Uil with it.
Behind the trees it appeared to be
almost motionless.
This time, the man '-.opped out
to have a look at it, leaving his car
running with its lights on. The
object moved on, crossing the road
at McLauchlan 's corner.
From there to Oreti Avenue it
kept pace with the moving car at
about 30 miles an hour . . . "perhaps a little slower. I wasn't moving too quickly be cau se I wanted
to watch it."
At this stage the mechanic de·
cided he wanted confirmation of
what he could see. so he mad e
for home and woke his wife an d
child.
"My wife and 11-year-old da ughter
both saw it clearly e nough an d
afterwards my daughter described
it exactly as I had. even to the
dark shadow of a body to the
thing, " he said.
"At this stage it had moved till
it was almost directly abo ve the
Vickery homestead. I decided to
try to follow it furth er . bu t my
wife refused to come. It was to o
eerie fc- her. I tra iled it out
towards the camping ground and
watched it for a few minutes before it completel y di s appea1·ed.
There was no noise to it. and I
haven 't the least idea whe re it
went to. "
