A Finnish couple, Ben and Helen K left Gladstone late at night and upon arrival in Rockhampton found that only forty minutes had passed on a trip, which would normally have taken much longer. In addition to the rapid trip, they could not recall passing through intervening towns, although they did recall seeing an unusual green light at one stage. Their 1971 Valiant sedan was reportedly covered with a thin film of odorless oil, and unusual marks were noted on the car's bonnet. Attempts at hypnotizing the couple were unsuccessful.
