Background
Zeuge und Ereignis
At 9:50 p.m. on February 7, 1980, Daryl Browne, a 21-year-old ranch hand at Glenalta horse ranch near Stirling, South Australia, heard guard dogs howling in fear and noise from breaking branches outside while watching television. He went out and spotted a yellow, half-moon-shaped object, roughly 25-30 feet long, hovering 100 feet high in the branches of a 230-foot cypress tree, causing limbs to bend and the trunk to sustain large gouges.
Nachwirkungen und Untersuchungen
Browne alerted police, but the object had disappeared by their arrival. His dogs avoided the tree for two days. UFO researchers from UFO Research South Australia visited the site the next day, confirming damage to a 40-meter pine tree consistent with impact. Multiple agencies and groups examined the location at Glenalta Stud on Old Gully Road.

Browne later expressed reluctance to report future incidents due to intense scrutiny, despite not believing in UFOs prior.
