Silver objects and web-like falling material at Quirindi

A retrospective passage describes residents of Quirindi, north of Sydney, seeing about 20 silvery aerial objects while web-like material settled on people and telephone lines. Eunice Stanfield said she first noticed the material on her son-in-law and that it fell away as people moved or quickened their pace. The UFO association reportedly received calls from approximately 20 residents. The article places the episode roughly a month before the October 1998 Chinese pursuit account but gives no secure day, material-analysis results or final object trajectory.
