Background
At 7:10 p.m. on May 24, 1973, about 50 people saw a large illuminated oval object moving at a slight angle above Long Reef Headland near Sydney, New South Wales. One woman said it looked as if it had ascended from the ocean. There had been reports of a stationary submarine object at the entrance to the Dee Why lagoon nearby. Bill Chalker describes the case in two articles on Australian USO reports. 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.
