Near Kempsey, Nsw abduction report — April 2, 1971

On the night of April 2, 1971, a thirty-four-year-old Aboriginal man at Greenhill, near Kempsey in New South Wales, was in his kitchen when he noticed an unfamiliar hairless face outside a window. Several people elsewhere around Kempsey had reported a bright light that evening, but the household incident had its own witnesses and sequence. The man said an irresistible pulling force drew him through a pane of the kitchen window. His wife heard the glass break and came into the room as he was passing through it. The opening was narrow, crossed by an iron bar and several feet above the ground, details that the newspaper account treated as central to the event. He reached the ground outside with cuts and bruises. Accounts differ over his immediate movements: one describes a relative finding him nearby, while another says he ran away in fright and his wife followed. He was taken for treatment of a cut on his hand. No continuous journey aboard an object is described in the published episode. Patricia Riggs of The Macleay Argus supplied reports to Flying Saucer Review, where Eileen Buckle published the case as Defenestration at Kempsey. The paper withheld the man's name. The kitchen-window episode, the wife's observation and the subsequent injury treatment are the available chronological account.
