Next day she viewed the area through binoculars and found damaged trees in the direction of the impact. She took her dogs and visited the location. Here she found a 6m diameter unusual cloud of mist and an unusual odour. At the apparent impact site tops of trees were found to be "dead."

April 1997 Kin Kin QLD 
"A man living at Kin Kin saw a very bright light which was coming from behind his shed. He did not go to investigate because he said he was too frightened. I asked him if he heard any noise. He said there was no noise, only very bright light which seemed to engulf the whole area. This light seemed to penetrate the shed. I went to look over the site but could not see any markings on the ground, or in the immediate area. This sighting was also seen by two other people on their way to Kin Kin that same night. Their description was of a large disc shaped object, angled almost on it's edge, and emitting a very bright light. It was seen on the top of the ridge on the northern side of the road. UFOHSAR

April 4th 1997 Nambour QLD A "gained time" experience
"A Mr John D phoned. He said, I think I have had a strange experience that is really bothering me, can you help me?...a few weeks back I was at home getting ready to attend an appointment. I had the radio and the 3 o'clock news had just come on. I finished getting ready. It was 3.10 p.m. I got in the car and headed for Morayfield. I checked my watch with the car clock. It was 3.10 p.m. Shortly after 4 p.m. I arrived at my appointment with a couple of minutes to spare. The business I had, only took a few minutes. I had to sign some legal papers. It was about 15 minutes. Having done that I walked straight down to the car and went home. During this time I didn't bother to look at the clock. There was a bit of traffic on the road so I knew it would take me a bit longer to get home. In my mind I knew it must be getting on for 6 o'clock. That's when I got home.

I put the car in the car port, locked the car and went inside. I put on the stereo to listen to some music on Coast FM, when the bloke on the radio said it's 3 p.m. News Hour. I looked at my watch and it said 3 p.m. I ran out to the car and looked at the clock. It said 3 p.m. I was nearly filling my pants. I thought of dialling the phone time machine, but I was too sacred, so I phoned my appointment. The lady on the other end confirmed my appointment was for 4.15 p.m. that afternoon. I was really shaking. I don't know how I managed to drive there again. It was like watching a video of me doing it all over again. Really scary, I was shaking.

Carlo Riva writes: "I asked John if he had checked his odometer before he left the first time. He said no. He only checks it periodically when he needs to get the car serviced. I then asked him how about your petrol. He said I did look but this car is a new Festiva. It is so economical the gauge hardly moves. You have to do a few kilometres to see it shift I questioned John on many aspects of his story to eliminate any possibility of him making a mistake with regards the time of his appointment, and to the time of the news reports on the radio.

There was however, one thing that John did come up with and that was he remembered the receptionist was wearing the same dress again on his second visit. Also he distinctly recalls what he thought was a bright flash of light in the sky as he left home the first time, although the sky was clear. He likened it to a lightning flash." UFOHSAR

April 19th 1997 Gympie area QLD 1810hrs NL
Ms Eileen Defenbach: "I saw an object that looked like a large comet, but it was too big and was travelling far too slowly. It was round at the front with a long, thin tail. It moved across the sky slowly. I was able to go and call my neighbour to come and have a look. I also took some photos of the object, which I will get developed." Carlo Riva writes " I came to the conclusion that this object could not possibly be a comet. or shooting star or even space debris, because of it's slow speed and its level trajectory. Also, according to the witness it seemed to be low in the night sky." UFOHSAR
