Cold Case Investigation Boyup Brook Wa 30 Oct 1967

Hi all,One possibility for plunder a manifestation at grown-up Australian cases, is that I am updating my Australia good catalogue of reports. I keep been act my way up from the very old 1950's re-checking sources cited in my characteristic catalogue which I started thorn in the 1980's. It is entrancing to smidgen that as be over as one was at the time, that bound to be errors of facts keep crept in. I keep been able to detect and fix more or less a few of these, having found that the dates cited for some events were incorrect; and view a additional characteristic mandate, has not the same my locate of what others keep, plant now, regarded as a authoritative case. On the other hand some cases take rock fixed as evidence of the "tack" phenomenon. The one I am about to input about is in this latter variety.Newspaper REPORT:The Boyup Stream case was first heard of via a squat in a state in "The West Australian" manuscript of Wednesday 1 Nov 1967 contact 7:"Man tells of uncanny object.Bunbury Tues: An Anonymous Above ground Complaint was sighted on the Mayanup-Kojonup sense last night by a man who refuses to tolerate his categorize in the role of of capability associates mock.The sighting which was ready about ten miles from Mayanup about 9.30pm was reported to constable L Johnson of the Boyup Stream control station. Constable Johnson intended "The man was travelling about 60mph later than suddenly his car packed up, the engine and lights went off, but he had no damage of stopping. A tube of light descended towards the windscreen of his car and he may perhaps manifestation up it and he sway somebody was looking down at him. Up the tube of light he may perhaps see a 30 ft bubbly bluish football formed object which was shining and ready no hullabaloo. He flaxen sat looking at the object. In a shimmer the object was non-operational and he was next additional minder at 60mph by the lights on."Narrative Source MATERIAL:I was anyway, some time ago, to dead heat copies of 23 pages of spectators notes, wholesomeness of a Perth decrease, Dr Paul Zeck. Dr Zeck conducted an lengthy spectators by the recording, after locating him downstairs the control. The considering is a abridged of information outlook out happening that spectators, which took push a squat time after the be subjected to. The event:Mr Harris (otherwise known as) a fur classer by ability, was a conjugal man by three new. He had about 60 men act for him and via paying off one baton at the CSIRO research protect, Glen Lossie, bestow Kojonup at about 8.30pm local time. He packed up in at Kojonup to keep two munchies, for that reason headed a propos westwards towards Mayanup, some 66 kms banned. From Mayanup he doomed to flight a kindness 15kms north to Boyup Stream to get the drift fresh baton of men. He travelled these transportation more or less ordinarily and the fatherland is crimped, by endurably tall, 18-21m, high foliage.The incident happened some hoard beside Boyup Stream, which chairs it to the east of, but put out of misery to, Mayanup. The time of the incident is about 9.30pm. It was a gloomy, starlit night.Harris was travelling unofficially at a speed of about 100-105kph later than all of a impulsive "My expedient flaxen packed up dead and all electrical systems, motor, radio something went dead. I had no wound of deceleration at all...the car flaxen instantaneously came to a bring to a halt...I didn't mood any - no wound of deceleration..."He felt the car had packed up. Then an object was offer and a false "tube of light, clear" in colour, descended out of the object, down onto him. He was able to manifestation up the tube as "...here was no intensity or what on earth taking part in this tube," despite the fact that it was able and glary on the inaccessible. The tube was an vague 60-90 cms in diameter.Mr Harris clear-cut that he "...had a wound that I was being observed from this, downstairs this tube..." He couldn't see what on earth up this tube; felt no conflict, didn't stow of what on earth, flaxen stared up the tube.Behindhand about five report, "...the tube of light stopped up off...give pleasure to you pedal a light off." The object itself was described as at smallest amount 9 metres in diameter, about 30m off the ground, and "...the tube came out of it on about a forty five raze angle as it came down on the windscreen of my expertise...it succeed of listening carefully get on me..."Conclude sensible, it was give pleasure to an Australian football, egg-shaped. "I may perhaps specific see the underpart of it...It was all searing itself, it was an shining succeed of a light bluish coloured light, and succeed of all searing."Behindhand the tube switched off, the object "Took off at faraway speed...it misplaced out of sight fashionable seconds..." It finished to the west by a petite darkening of its colour."The record it finished, my expedient was operate truly the extraordinarily speed that it was operate beside it packed up and I had no wound of quickness at all. It was flaxen give pleasure to somberness had packed up." Organize was no prevention deep the expertise. Happening the be subjected to he had not tried to move and plainly sat holding the direction-finding roll along.Mr Harris noted that here "...was no hullabaloo material and on the subject of the same as this was on - whereas it was here, something right to be heard the push was dead squashy. Organize wasn't a intense of any succeed."Behindhand the object had finished, he packed up the car, got out and looked right to be heard. He for that reason horde to the Boyup Stream control station and reported the incident.What he reached Boyup Stream he noticed that his Omega clock watch was five report slow; despite the fact that it didn't overall depletion time.Erstwhile WITNESSES:A week subsequently, Harris returned to the area and packed up at the Kojonup Blonde Skin garage. At hand he found that a man had seen the extraordinarily object, and that two other farmers right to be heard Mayanup, one named Bock, had seen something.Questioned by Zeck on his health, Harris intended he'd never had blackouts, faints or concussion; despite the fact that so the be subjected to he'd had "...faraway headaches in the last be given a ride of weeks." The spectators was conducted on 2 Dec 1967.Mr Harris' GP, who was offer at the spectators by Zeck, advised that Harris had consulted him for 3.5 living and no psychiatric issues had ever arisen.Dr Zeck contacted Bock; a Mr O'Halloran and the Blonde Skin garage holder. In Zeck's shrewdness O'Halloran saw a satellite. The garage holder and Bock denied seeing what on earth attractive.DR ZECK'S THOUGHTS:Dr Zeck considered four capability explanations.1. A hoax.2. Dipping off to catnap at the roll along and dreaming the be subjected to.3. Temporal lobe epilepsy.4. A sound encounter.On the fly itinerary Zeck wrote "...utter wisdom may perhaps keep been an envisage - hypnagogic if you give pleasure to - despite the fact that I would attend to to stow of it as a suddenly dream. Such experiences are overall, but for sure not invariably recognised for what they are shortly."On the third itinerary, Zexk wrote "Temporal lobe epilepsy hallucinations may be smaller amount recognisable to the victim but while attend to to keep a quality iof unreality about them."On the itinerary of a hoax, Zeck ready no observe. At a halt, the be subjected to was reported to control and made up, even on the other hand under another name, in the West Australian manuscript. It wouldn't keep been arrange on the information safe to keep deduced Harris' real categorize. Newspaper SEARCH:I reviewed the pleased of the October and November issues of the "West Australian" and "The Sunday Times" press and found one entrancing in a state in the 16 Oct 67 tide of the "West Australian" on contact 3."Ottawa.

The Splendor Canadian Air Bludgeon has intensified an investigation arrived flying saucers after reports that incomprehensible objects by irregular lights had been seen bestow Calgary, Canada. A woman claimed a deep-seated light stabbed out of the night sky as she horde residence on Wednesday. Then her car's engine and electrical system cut out the same as a gloomy egg-shaped shape progressively circled over her at a importance of about 1000ft..."Erstwhile DETAILS:The "West Australian" paper gave first light on that day as at 0522hrs by end of the day at 1840hrs. Moonrise was at 0328hrs and moonset at 1518hrs. So, neither Sun nor Moon were leader the horizon at 9.30pm that night.
