| end toward the rear, making loud explosive noises. At 5:30 p.m. in |
| Vaucluse Beach, New South Wales, Australia a seven meter domed disc |
| was seen resting on a sandy beach. When Mr. Crowe, the witness, |
| approached to within 16 meters (53 feet) it rose with a rushing air |
| noise like air being released from a balloon. There were ground marks |
| left in the sand, and a check of radioactivity showed it was higher |
| than the normal background level. (Sources: Michael Hervey, UFOs over |

| at the girl, who interpreted them to be an inquiry about the |
| edibility of the corn. At some point a dog nearby began barking, and |

| humanoids in her living room. They were 4.5 feet tall, hairless, and |
| had watery, liquid appearing eyes. They took her onboard a UFO by |

| exam after making her lie on a metallic, exam table. For the |
| following ten days after her return the abductee felt ill and |
| experienced vertigo. (Source: Thomas E. Bullard, UFO Abductions: The |

| motion. (Source: APRO Bulletin, May 1984, p. 8). |

| the clouds and flew off in various formations toward the west. In |
| Metcalf, Illinois at 8:10 p.m. a shiny object turned bright white as |
| it flew silently below the clouds. The objects shape was not possible |
| to determine. In Maple Valley, Washington two adults and a child |
| watched a white star-like object move to-and-fro on a wiggly flight |
| path, flying silently to the northeast. In Monroe, Washington a round |
| green object moved very fast from west to east at a high altitude. It |
| left a green trail in the sky. It was not a meteor, claimed the |
| military witness. (Source: Bob Gribble, National UFO Reporting |

| shook from the vibration caused by the UFO. At around 6 p.m. a very |

| Australia to descend to close to the ground. It then took off and |
| maneuvered around in the sky for the next four hours. (Sources: Peter |
