Ripley, Queensland entity encounter — May 2, 1982

A brief report dated May 2, 1982, places a group of kangaroo hunters in an isolated area near Ripley, Queensland, around 9 p.m. They were reportedly walking beside an electric fence when they came upon a large disc-shaped object on the ground. The account does not identify the hunters by name or establish their exact number. The object was described as having a dome on top, a rotating lower section and a broad glass-like rim or platform. Several unusually tall, human-looking figures stood or moved on that rim. Their estimated height was about seven feet. The catalogue gives long blond hair, tanned skin and grey jumpsuits as their distinguishing features. It does not supply detailed faces, conversation or an approach to the hunters. The available trail runs through Keith Basterfield’s material as cited by HUMCAT, Rosales and later chronologies. These summaries repeat one report; they are not separate investigations independently confirming its details. No original signed statements, photographs, ground examination or clearly documented departure sequence was located during this review. The plate therefore reconstructs the stated scene, including the transparent rim and humanlike occupants, while treating exact witness and occupant group sizes as illustrative. It does not add weapons being used, physical contact, an abduction or a claimed explanation for the rotating base.
