Brisbane May 18,

Rockhampton's meteorological officer while plotting the course of a balloon with a theodolite, located a bright crescent shaped object in the morning sky. It appeared to be moving in a southerly direction. An airline pilot, Capt. G. Hitchcock also viewed it through the instrument and with the naked eye. It gave the observers the impression that it was suspended in space; it was also glittering and reflecting the early morning sunlight.

Melbourne May 19 1953

A group of people at surrey hills yesterday reported seeing a four minute display by a rocket-like ship high in the sky. It appeared to be 100 ft long; the sun shone brilliantly off it's sides.

A Melbourne astronomer said that the object could not of been a meteor; it is impossible to account for every phenomenon of the sky or the objects that fly about it.

About 5 years ago (2 am now 12) I was living in Sullivan, Indiana. My father and I were sitting on the front steps facing west. He went into the house for a minute and while he was gone I looked up and saw a silver object in the sky. It was shaped like a tear drop and was moving south very fast.

The surface was smooth except for what appeared to be a ridge in the upper half of the saucer. Although I only saw it for a few seconds I know that I wasn't an airplane.

## METEORS

The Hydrographic Office is cooperating with astronomers who are studying meteors. Members reporting their observations of these bodies are greatly assisting in this work. It is desired to have the Greenwich time and point of appearance and disappearance as accurate as possible, either by bearing and altitude, or by relation to fixed stars, or both.

Complete observations on long-enduring trains and their direction of drift are of especial importance, as they determine wind direction in the upper atmosphere.
