Norwood, South Austr being encounter — October 28, 1962

Mrs E.D. Silvester was reportedly driving with three children at Norwood, South Australia, on October 28, 1962, around 7:30 p.m. The group noticed an unusual illuminated oval object near the road. The published catalogue attributes a prolonged observation, approximately forty minutes, to the mother. The fuller Magonia summary describes a man near the object wearing a helmet and a gas-mask-like face covering. The imported Hatch record adds a small figure collecting plants into a silver box. These details describe a concealed or suited occupant; they do not establish the large dark eyes or bare grey head sometimes supplied by generic illustrations. The alleged visitor eventually returned toward the object before its departure. The source trail points to Flying Saucer Review in 1963 and subsequent landing catalogues. The report offers a family’s claimed observation rather than physical confirmation of the craft or collected material. The plate includes the mother and children in their car, the oval object and masked figure, with the plant-box action identified as the imported catalogue variant.
