I just happened across one of the BEST articles I found when I was compiling articles from the old newspapers. I had posted it on Historum, but had lost it there for a long time... It is AWESOME!! And, I don't believe is known to the UFO researchers. Imagine if footage of this was released to the public! Here is the transcription:
"I can offer no explanation as to the strange light seen at (?, Australia) by C.H.F. and a friend on the night of September 4. They were passing through the bush at about a quarter past 11 pm, when a light, which suggested the glare of a searchlight fell around them. It shone on the ground for about four (seconds), and then moved up in the sky out of sight. The band of light seemed to be about half a chain wide (33'). It was starlight at the time with no sign of lightning.
From Stalker, in the Otway Ranges, "calcium" noticed somewhat similar lights very high in the northeastern sky, on September 1 or 8. The impression given being of a
torpedo shaped light moving southward with a shaft of light extending from the horizon toward it. The writer assumes them to be artificial lights, but is puzzled as to their origin."
