Background

At 10:30 p.m. on August 7, 1909, four young men at brick kilns near the railway station in Goulburn, New South Wales, saw a bright, pale blue light rise from behind some hills to the east. After ascending, the light circled back in the direction it had come from. According to the entry, the object was said to be visible every night from August 5 to 10. Newspapers in Sydney and in Taranaki, New Zealand, reported on the lights in August 1909, the Sydney Morning Herald under the headline "The Goulburn 'Airship'". The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
