UFO: W.A. Yarloop, September 1909

admin — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 13:00:48 +0000

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.

I have no idea what is going on here. Olde Times humor? Is it a drawing? Regardless, Rottnest Monster is a new one to me.

Note: The Mirror was a weekly broadsheet newspaper published from 1921 until 1956. It was the “scandal sheet” of its day, dealing with divorce cases and scandals.

WHEN THE SECRETARY of the Rottnest Board of Control (Mr- S. J. Hay ward) saw this strange object in a city street, he thought at first sight It was the Rottnest monster, or a pup thereof. However, at a second glance, he discovered it was a length of copper wire, bent and twisted into all sorts of queer shapes while it lay under the wheels of traffic.

From Australian Flying Saucer Review, December 1965.
Some of the text is transcribed below due to poor image quality.

“Saucer” dived on couple. TERRIFIED THEM

PERTH: A green-colored “flying saucer” swooped on two people driving near Carnarvon, and terrified them for almost half an hours.

This was the story told by a 43-year-old Nedlands professional man and his woman companion, who were on a rock-hunting tour that turned into a near-nightmare.

Antonia Kukla of Bedford Street, Nedlands, a Perth suburb, who practiced as a doctor in Europe said the queer object reminded him of a living cell under a microscope.

He and Mrs, Audrey Lawrence, of Nedlands, said they had to slam on their vehicle’s brakes when the flying object divided suddenly towards their headlights at great speed from where they first sighted it a good distance away.

They watched in fear as the object, in dead silence pulsing with a transparent and fluorescent green glow hovered in front over the road 12 miles from Pimbie Station.

they doused the vehicle lights, abandoned the vehicle and watched the strange object for almost half an hour, before it moved slowly away to the west.

Both Mr Kukla and Mrs. Lawrence agreed on the “saucer’s” characteristics:

* It had a definite saucer configuration.
* While traveling, it was orange in color.
* When it swooped silently down towards the car’s headlights it was a vivid orange-red, glaringly bright.
* The color changed to a transparent fluorescent green while it hovered near the couple.
* There was no sound at any stage.

He has two regrets

Mr Kukla checked his monocular lens the following night.
He focused on the stars to see if they gave the same characteristics.
They did not.
he and Mrs. Lawrence returned to double-check the bearing on which they had seen the “flying saucer”
Mr Kukla had two regrets when he told the story of the sighting:
* There was nothing he could have used to gauge the size by comparison
* He had a camera in the vehicle but grabbed the monocular lens instead.

This incident was also reviewed in Australian Saucer Review, November 1966
