Mount Stromlo Observatory, Australia: Astronomers see slow pink object for two minutes
At 3:03 a.m. on 8 November 1957, astronomers Antoni Przybylski and Bart Bok saw a vivid pink object move slowly across the sky for two minutes at Mount Stromlo Observatory near Canberra, Australia.
Background
Polish-Australian astronomer Antoni Przybylski and Dutch-American astronomer Bart Bok saw a vivid pink object moving slowly across the sky at Mount Stromlo Observatory near Canberra. It was visible to the naked eye for two minutes. Przybylski had just finished observing Sputnik 1 and 2, so according to the entry it was not a satellite or a meteor. Assistant Director Arthur Robert Hogg thought it might be circling the earth like a satellite. 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.
