Case description
A couple travelling along Golf Course Road near Caboolture, Queensland, reported an unusual light at about 6:15 p.m. on May 20, 1982. As it descended, they interpreted its shape as a saucer, with a row of portholes in its lower section. The object allegedly emitted a blue beam and moved around to the front of their car.
The couple subsequently felt that a short interval—given as about twelve minutes in the fuller catalogue—was missing from their recollection. They also reported flashbacks of a figure approximately two metres tall wearing a silver suit. The description supplies no dependable facial features or evidence of a particular species. Importantly, the remembered figure belongs to a later recollection, not a clearly narrated, uninterrupted roadside observation. The available entry does not establish that hypnosis was used, so it should not be described as a verified hypnotic recovery either.
The cited source is UFO Research Queensland’s Sunshine Coast branch, transmitted through UFORA Research Digest 19 and Rosales’s catalogue. A detailed original interview or independently checked time record was not located in the accessible material. The record preserves a close light/object sighting and a subsequent time-discrepancy claim without asserting a proven journey aboard the craft. The plate visibly labels its combination of the observed saucer and later-recalled silver-suited figure.
