Incident date:

08.08.1971 18:35

Location:

Кадина SA

Australia

Fifty-year-old Mr Boyce had left Wallara and was returning to Kadina alone in his car.

About five kilometers from the city, its surroundings were lit up with an orange hue. Suddenly the engine stopped and the lights went out. The ignition lamp on the dashboard did not light up, and despite efforts, the engine could not be restarted.

He swerved the car to the side of the road and braked.

When he got out, he saw an oval-shaped object with three or four "Windows"at a height of fifty meters. It was motionless, almost directly above the car. It remained motionless for two or three minutes, and there was a continuous buzzing sound. Then it went South-East.

Before he was completely out of sight, the witness got into the car and started the engine, after which the light came on.
