Background

At 7:30 p.m., a woman alone in her kitchen in Lachlan, Tasmania, noticed a bright light falling on the window blinds. Looking outside, she saw a large circle of light seemingly at ground level some 550 feet east of the house, in a paddock on higher ground in front of the trees. She went outside but could make out no further details and heard no sound. The light did not reflect on any of the nearby trees, and it later disappeared. The International UFO Reporter listed the case among UFOs in Tasmania. 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.
