Case description

On January 10, 1978 at Grafton, New South Wales (near), Australia, A 25-year-old man observed two irregularly shaped bright yellow objects in the night sky while driving.One of the objects approached and appeared to slowly move down a mountainside. It seemed to periodically issue a "shower of sparks". This initial sighting lasted for about 20 minutes. The man then drove on but had difficulty recollecting the next part of his journey. Some 30 minutes later he observed a very bright object that looked like a "chicken coop" at a place called Bakers Creek Falls, near Armidale, New South Wales. The object was on the ground, stationary for 10 minutes, and then it moved.
