May 27th 1994 BRISBANE QLD 0210 40mins? NL
A 21 year old man was fishing when, towards South Stradbroke Island he saw a white light which seemed to be on the water. It slowly approached him with a curved motion. About 10 minutes later, the object appeared ahead of him at about 60m up. It was cylindrical in shape, some 10m long and 5m wide. There were no wings, and it was black and silver in colour. As it moved it made a humming noise. The object then accelerated over the witness. Behind this object were 3 brown, hazy lights in a triangular formation, which seemed to leave a trail as the object departed. It left to the NE. Although the duration seemed 40 minutes when he looked at his watch it was 0427. The next morning when having a shower he noted sharp pains in his chest. Looking at his body he found several incisions, each 8cm long below his left nipple. later a rash appeared. UFORFNQ
March 7th 1995 BONNY GLEN STATION FNQ 0100 Few mins NL
3 staff noted a bright light source approaching the station. The lights travelled across the paddocks towards them. Another man came out and saw a huge bank of lights 60-100m away. As he watched the lights, seemingly some 3m off the ground, just disappeared or switched off. No object was seen and there was no noise.
The witnesses drove around looking for whatever it was for some 20mins. On checking the station airfield paddock they found grass in one area had been flattened in several directions. When the witnesses drove through this area they noted that where the vehicle left tracks, there were blotches of a green, phosphorescent material on grass tips and stems.
The lights were described as huge and round, in 3-4 rows in a rectangular formation. The 3 aboriginal witnesses said the lights were blue. The other man said white.
A CSIRO representative concluded that the substance was a naturally occurring growth. UFORFNQ
April 22nd 1995 KAIRI QLD 0505 26mins CE1
Mr H driving his Ute saw a very bright light in the South, and then the light approached him, low over paddocks. He noted a whirring noise. It approached the road and stopped over a fence. He slowed his vehicle and came within 50m of it, where it hovered at 20-30m up. Its front faced the road.
He turned a corner and the object turned right on its axis and he saw an exhaust from the rear of the object. Now parallel to the road it paced his vehicle for about 3kms, where it then left the road and travelled to a position then stopped.
After he stoped for 10mins he carried on, and the object again paced him for 4kms. At this point it turned away and headed East. Mr H described the object as like big stingray, its surface of a dull grey to flat back colour. A cockpit with windows had been visible and a tail fin was to the rear.When first seen it had been illuminating the ground with white light. UFORFNQ

February 10th 1996 HUON VALLEY TAS 02.00 CE3
Witness woke in early hours to find room lit up by light, had a feeling must go outside. From the verandah she saw the source of the light was a brilliant long elliptical shape 50m away in the paddock. There was a brilliant blue/white light and a metallic type smell you could almost taste. Standing in the garden was a tall thin figure estimated over 2m tall.
The figure beckoned the witness with its left hand. The witness went down the steps into the garden before being alarmed and returning to the verandah. She threw some furniture from the verandah at which point everything went dark as her companion came out to see what was going on. TUFOIC
February 1996 HUON VALLEY TAS 02.00 CE3
About a week after the first encounter the witness again woke in the early hours with the feeling she had to go outside. Again there was a figure in the garden but no object in the paddock this time, the same metallic smell seemed to be present. The same (or similar) 2m tall thin figure seemed to be surrounded by a bright mist effect. It looked to have a one piece silvery suit with a band around the waist. She was not sure if it covered the head, whilst she did not notice the lower legs. It seemed to have long wrap around eyes that sloped up at the outside, also the ears looked flat and pointed. Also present were two smaller rounded figures to either side of the main figure. They were less than a meter tall, fat in the body with small arms and legs. They moved in a jerky fashion as they looked at the ground. One figure had a trowel like instrument which it kept pointing at the ground. The witness had a feeling to follow the figure but on this occasion retreated into the house and locked the door. Looking out the window she was unable to locate the figures. TUFOIC
