UFO: W.A. Yarloop, September 1909

From the Evening Mail of Fremantle. The text for this one is difficult to read and has been transcribed below. Yarloop is a town just south of Mandurah.

Mysterious Lights
Two residents of Yarloop (remembering? an exchange) have reported that on Thursday night att, about 11 o’clock, when on their way home, having seen two mysterious lights a few feet. apart , attached to what appeared to be an airship, gyrating in the sky. immediately above this delightful suburb . They both state that they both watched the strange visitor for some time, and that it had the appearance of a lighted air-ship, and traveled in a southerly direction. The only point the two gentlemen differ on is the colour of the lights carried by the stranger, one being positive they were blue, while the other is equally positive they were red. In order to guard against any similar mistake being made in the future by both persons attempting to discern airships at night time in this neighbor=hood, whiskey dispensed in Yarloop is now guaranteed airship proof.
