An oval, fluorescent craft, about 40 meters in diameter
William West and Wallace Liddell saw an object similar to a shooting star coming close to them appearing then as an oval, fluorescent craft, about 40 meters in diameter, which almost touched the grass. They rushed to catch it, but it jumped away, turning into a bluish-white sphere with a dark red center. Each time they tried to reach it, the craft jumped farther away. It cleared a high fence and slowly vanished. The Invercargill Weather Bureau had no explanation. An object was sighted that had an appearance and performance beyond the capability of known earthly aircraft. One blue-red oval object, about 150 feet across, was observed by two experienced male witnesses at a mountain for over 15 minutes (West). Hynek rating: CE1: Close Encounters of the First Kind Vallee rating: CE1: UFO comes within 500 feet of the witness, but no after effects are suffered by the witness or the surrounding area.
