Eyre Highway East / Balladonia, WA abduction report — February 5, 1978

A truck travelling on the Eyre Highway east of Balladonia, Western Australia, was reportedly approached repeatedly by unusual lights on February 5, 1978. The digest describes both round and square lights in the night sky. The lights were said to pass close to the truck more than once. After the episode, an interval of approximately three hours could not be accounted for. The source does not provide an observed landing or a description of beings approaching the vehicle. The available account ends with the time discrepancy. It supplies no remembered craft interior, medical procedure, or explanation of how the missing interval was reconstructed. The report is retained as this 1978 highway episode and should not acquire details from the distinct Knowles family encounter on the same broad highway in 1988.
