Horseshoe Lagoon, Queensland, Australia

A strange gray-blue craft, eight meters in diameter, rose from a lagoon 25 meters away.

George Pedley, 27, was driving his tractor when he heard a high-pitched sound and saw a strange gray-blue craft, eight meters in diameter, three meters high, rise from the lagoon 25 meters away. It was spinning like a top, rose to 20 meters, and flew to the southwest on a fast, oblique course. Flattened reeds were found in several places.


An object was observed. Occupants of the craft were seen. Electromagnetic effects were noted. Ground traces were found. Animal reactions to the object were reported.

One blue disc, about 40 feet across, about fifty feet away, was observed in clear weather by one male 27-year-old witness in a swamp for 12 seconds (Pedley, George; Pennisi; Warren). A high-pitched sound was heard.
