- The Sun Herald newspaper (Australia) sent the following
information and photos to Ross Dowe:
-
- G'day
-
- While reading todays (Monday, 6-18-01) edtion of your
fine paper, I noticed a small article about a mystery sighting in the eastern
suburbs, and thought...that sounds familiar.
-
- I have decided to send you some shots taken from my back
porch in Kilsyth, Victoria, a few weeks ago. At the time my televison showed
static and all the dogs in the area combined in a wonderful chorus . Hope
you find these snaps useful as a follow-up story.
-
- Keep up the good work.
-
- Yours sincerely,
Rev. B.Chatham

Wantirna 9.55 PM
- 6-16-01
-
- Respondents report sighting a dark grey disc or saucer
shaped aerial object flying over the Knox area of Melbourne.
-
- The object "appeared to be round or saucer shaped
with silver sides and also appeared to have a small dome underneath it
with a half of dozen large lights on the circumference of the main body
of the disc."
-
- At first it was thought to be a Blimp but upon analysis
"it was only a 1/4 of the size a the blimp and far too big for a garbage
bag hoax"'.
-
- The unidentified flying object travelled about 20 kms
to the north before turning right to the east towards Ringwood, it was
seen for about 5-8 minutes and there was not sound, the air was still and
very cold (snow), everyone inside by winter fires. ___

- Good evening, Mr Dowe,
-
- In relation to your questions:
-
- 1. The camara used was a cheap generic 35mm (Hanamex,
i think) and has since been misplaced,along with some lovely shots of St
Paul's in London.
-
- 2. As far as I know, no.
- 3. late evening around the end of May, 25th or 26th.
- 3a. No, I honestly thought it was some fool with a toy
of some sort.
- 4. Yes, I'm sure they are at a colleague's home in Hobart.
- 5. I am a minister of the Church.
- 6. I don't see how that is relevant but, 32.
- 7. I am sorry but I prefer not to disclose my home number
for these sort of matters.
-
- I hope I have been some help, email me if you would like
any more information but I think that is all I can recall.
-
- Yours sincerely,
- Reverend B. Chatham
