A CATALOGUE OF AUSTRALIAN UFO ENTITY AND
RELATED REPORTS
Compiled and copyright © 2005 by Keith

PO Box 786, North Adelaide, South Australia 5006
Updated 15 May 2005
This document integrates several previous works, and has been
updated with cases reported as at 1st November 2002. The previous works
are, firstly, "An Australian Catalogue of Close Encounter Type Three Reports"
compiled by myself and Bill Chalker, and published by UFO Research Inc. in
September 1976. Secondly, a series of 11 supplements to this 1976
catalogue, prepared by myself. Thirdly, a June 1980 document tilted: "An
In-depth Review of Australasian UFO Related Entity Reports" prepared by
myself. Fourthly, events reported in my monthly Australian UFO Reports and
Experiences listings, circulated to all Australian UFO groups.
It utilises the classification system outlined in 1976 by US researcher,
David Webb, in "1973-Year of the Humanoids." Webb currently maintains a
computer listing of humanoid cases called HUMCAT.
Webb classified entity/humanoid sightings as follows:-
Type
A - Humanoid is observed only inside the UFO (the true
"occupant" report.)
Type
B - Humanoid is observed entering or leaving the UFO.
Type
C - Humanoid is observed in the immediate area of a
UFO.
Type
D - Humanoid is observed during a period of general UFO
activity.
Type
E - No association can be established between entity
and UFOs.
Type
F - No humanoid/UFO physically involved, but
information transferred by telepathy or a psychic experience.
Type G - Abduction. (A separate catalogue of
Australian abduction cases has been prepared so these are not listed here.)
Acknowledgement
I would like to acknowledge the work of the large number of
Australian UFO researchers, who over the years, have investigated and published
details on the reports which are summarised in this catalogue. One or more
sources are cited for each report.
THE CATALOGUE
Ca. 1954 Bankstown NSW Early eve
Two people were working late at the airport, just after dark,
when they observed what appeared to be a flying saucer hovering over the control
tower. There were "portholes" around it and shapes inside that seemed to
be moving around. There was a humming sound. It appeared to change colours then
shot up into the air at great speed.

written correspondence giving fourth-hand information.)
30 May 1954 East Malvern Vic 0024hrs 5secs Reese, Muir + 4
A group of five men and a woman were on the doorstep of a house
when an oval-shaped object appeared in the sky at what seemed to be close
range. It travelled in a downward curve initially, then pulled out of the
curve going upwards. Finally it disappeared like a light being switched
off. A cloud of yellow smoke was noted from its rear. Five of the
people said they thought they had seen shadows inside the object, through
"portholes."

1966 Willagee WA Dusk
Mrs Audrey W's children, aged 5 and 7, were playing on the front
verge with their neighbour's children, more or less the same age. It was dusk
but not dark. Suddenly their chickens created a great commotion, and their dog
flew into a frenzy, its hair standing on end. The children came running in very
excited and declared they had seen "priests" looking out of portholes at them,
from a funny round thing, with a round thing on top. The children went on to
describe the occupants of the craft wearing dark "shirts" with round, white
collars. Apparently this saucer shaped object dipped downwards towards the
children before speeding off north towards Perth.

Four people, in three separate vehicles, reported seeing an
orange object in a clearing on a deserted stretch of country road. A man
driving alone reported seeing an orange, rectangular shape on the side of the
road. A young couple said they saw a three metre high by two metre wide
rectangular shape. One of them said they saw a two metre tall "man" in a white
space-suit floating in the middle of the rectangular shape. The other saw
an orange rectangle with a white blob on top of it. Later, a semi-trailer
driver reported to police that as he passed a clearing he noted what looked like
an open doorway and a figure. The police checked the clearing by going
there within an hour, but found nothing to account for the observations.

Awoken by the frenzied barking of their dog, a migrant family
heard a noise like a big swarm of wasps. Going outside their caravan they
saw a twenty five to thirty metre "sombrero hat" shape giving off a violet
glow. Three "men" descended in a tiny craft similar in shape to the large
one. These men seemed to be three times the size of a normal human
being. They gave off a violet-yellowish glow, as they collected plants and
sugar cane which were sucked up into the large craft via transparent tube.
After ten minutes the men re-entered their ship which took off. As it did
so the hair on the family's heads and arms stood up.

and saw an egg shape surrounded by a "force field" on the ground. The
figure of a man was walking towards the egg, while another man was sitting
inside the object. The first man entered the egg and the glow died down,

This well-documented sighting had thirty eight witnesses. A
brilliant light was seen to approach a mission station. It appeared to be
hovering some 100m up and was solid and circular, with a wide base and a
narrower upper deck. At a number of intervals a shaft of light came from
the object and shone into the sky on a forty five degree angle. As the
group watched, "men" came out onto the deck. There were four "men" in
all. Eventually the spotlight and the men disappeared, the object moved
through cloud and was lost to view.

present. Four figures appeared on top as per the previous night, although
this time they were observed to respond to waves from the priest and
natives. The disc also seemed to respond to torch signals by wavering like
a pendulum.

Summer 1960 Sydney NSW
A milkman was walking along a beach south of Sydney when he came
upon a strange metal disk surrounded by a violet light and making a whining
sound. Two men suddenly appeared, both dressed in space suits complete
with transparent helmets. Their eyes were blue and they had an Oriental
slant. They allegedly addressed the milkman in perfect English, although
their lips did not move. He said their voices seemed to come from square
boxes on their belts. After warning the milkman that entities from Orion
were preparing to take over the Earth, they said they had been able to contact
him because of his aura. They promised to return and contact him again at
some time in the future, stating that he "was going to be used for a certain
job." The witness told no-one about his alleged encounter for two years,
but finally his story leaked out and was investigated by Colin McCarthy and
other Australian ufologists.

Mr. F. Reynolds and his son were camping and saw an unusual sight
by a river. It appeared to be a large "caravan" with four windows and a red
light nearby. About four "persons" were moving between a "fire" and a "van."
Looking through binoculars they noted the whole van and fire seemed to move
sideways in a jerking manner. He looked out again later but there was nothing
visible. An inspection of the area revealed a mud flat without any traces.

24 Aug 1967 Wodonga Vic 1700hrs Hyde
Ron Hyde was motorcycling between Melbourne and Sydney when he
was suddenly engulfed in a blue/white flash. He stopped his bike, and when
his eyes cleared he saw about thirty metres away in a clearing, a metallic
object hovering a metre off the ground. It resembled two saucers, one
inverted on top of the other, separated by a three metre band of metal. On
top of the object was a small dome two metres tall. Yet again on top of
this was a flat topped ball, about twenty five centimetres deep. Mr Hyde
turned away for a second and upon looking back two silver clad figures, 152
centimetres tall, were present. Helmets resembling opaque fish-bowls hid their
faces. The witness took a step in their direction and the figures did the
same. Then one figure beckoned him. He panicked, jumped on his bike
and raced off, only to be followed by the object, before it finally shot off
into the air.

Witness woke in early hours to find room lit up by light.
She had a feeling she must go outside. From there she saw that the source
of light was a brilliant, long, elliptical shape 50m away in a paddock.
Standing in the garden was a tall, thin figure estimated over 2m tall. The
figure beckoned the witness with its left hand. The witness approached and
then becoming afraid retreated. She threw some furniture from the
verandah, at which point everything went dark as her companion came out to see
what was going on.
About a week later, she awoke again and felt
compelled to go outside. There was the figure, but no object. The
same metallic smell was present. The 2m tall, thin figure seemed
surrounded by a bright mist. It looked to be wearing a one piece, silver
suit with a band around the waist. It had long, wrap-around eyes that
sloped at the outside, and flat, pointed ears. Also present were two
smaller rounded figures to either side. They were less than a metre tall,
fat in the body with small arms and legs. They moved in a jerky
fashion. The witness retreated into the house, despite a feeling she
should follow the figure.

27 January 2004 Salisbury East, South Australia
The witness had gone into his bedroom to get ready for bed and
had the immediate feeling that he was not alone in his bedroom. It was a
warm night so he slept on top of the bedding. At 0230A he woke up for no
apparent reason and all of the sudden a strange feeling overcame him as if time
had stopped. (He had felt the same in the previous encounters).
There was no sound anywhere and not a bit of movement in the room. As he
laid on his bed feeling very relaxed he was grabbed by the left and right arms
between the elbows and shoulders and pulled down into his bed. It was as
if something was under his bed and its arms were coming through the bed.
At this stage he was not worried but his legs started to rise together and he
could not stop them. He attempted to break the grip but was grasped even
tighter. He began to struggle and to yell obscenities. The witness then
yelled "go to the light" "go beneath the earth" until he was set free. He
now felt calm. Then all of the sudden he was grabbed in the same way and
he felt an electric current travel through his body, his legs began to rise up
again. He then saw lots of movement in his room and saw a hand similar to
a "frog's foot" or a gecko lizard foot, apparently reptilian in nature.
His legs went right over and he seemed to have passed out. He woke up at
0700 A.M. feeling ill and with terrible back pain. He felt drained and
could not eat breakfast. His eyes were red and later he found bruises on
his stomach and chest. On all the encounters the witness feels like his
bedroom has somehow been "detached" from the house and taken somewhere else.
