Case description

On December 13, 1977 at Leitchville, Victoria, Australia, an orange-red, disc-shaped object descended over a paddock. It then emitted three smaller objects that operated independently. One of these zigzagged, abruptly shot up to higher elevation, then descended again. The UFOs appeared to signal back and forth. Soil and grass samples collected from a circle of burnt grass found on the ground reveal the burn marks were caused by an electrical discharge.
