Background

At night Senior Constable Payne and Constable McMillan were traveling in their police car in Para Hills, South Australia, when they noticed a light flash to their left. As it approached, it reminded Payne of a "big glass bowl with a terrifically strong light in it." The spherical object was estimated at about 8 inches in diameter. It zig-zagged rapidly, slowed down and then accelerated at great speed; it came from the west, quickly turned north and vanished. Eberhart cites the Australian Flying Saucer Review of June 1965. 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.
