UFO sighting in Sale 50 years ago
PICTURED is an article from the Gippsland Times, dated October 2, 1972.
Halloween may be a new concept in Australia, but UFOs have spooked the region for generations.
The story reads:
A SALE woman saw an unidentified flying object on Saturday night. Mrs Val Bland of Picton Crt, saw an illuminated object in the north-west sky at 7pm. She described the object as “a bunch of lights in a dome shape moving at a fast speed from west to east”.
Mrs Bland said the lights were vivid blue-green, a colour usually associated with an electrical flash. The UFO was visible for only a few seconds. Mrs Bland’s sighting follows others by Sale and Traralgon policemen and RAAF members in the Sale and Rosedale areas in the past fortnight.
