Background
A man saw a light on the beach near Penguin Street, South New Brighton, New Zealand, and got out of his car to observe it. He heard a modulated whistling sound and saw an object 22 feet wide rise from the beach to an altitude of 60 feet. He returned with other witnesses and a dog, which became restless at a spot where the grass was flattened. Another witness saw the object as it rose above the suburb. Eberhart cites the Australian Flying Saucer Review (May 1965) and Jacques Vallée's Passport to Magonia. 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.
