Smithfield, near Cairns (Australia) — May 29, 1955 (1920)
Approximate date. Three farmers, among them Thomas Robinson, saw a light growing in size for 2 min and flying between them and Mt. Williams. Looking like a “light airplane on fire,” it changed course, losing alti- tude and trailing flames. It touched the ground, light- ing up the whole area, rose again, and began to “feel its way along the crooked edge of the cane field and the swamp toward our house.” It returned to earth four times. The dogs ran out barking as it landed within 100 m of the witnesses before taking off again. (UFO Bulletin Mar., 58)
