Balfour (New Zealand) — January 15, 1957
Balfour {New Zealand). William West and Wallace early Liddell saw an object similar to a shooting star coming close to them, appearing then as an oval, fluorescent craft, about 40 m in diameter, which almost touched the grass. They rushed to catch it, but it jumped away, turning into a bluish-white sphere with a dark red center. Each time they tried to reach it, the craft jumped farther away. It cleared a high fence and slowly vanished. The Invercargill Weather Bureau had no explanation. (107)
