April, 4,
1966; Burkes Flat, Victoria, Australia
At about
7:50 PM local time, businessman Ron Sullivan, 38, was
alone driving a vehicle at a speed of about 60 miles
per hour, approaching the town of St Arnaut. In the
distance he saw a light in a roadside paddock.
Suddenly, the headlights of his vehicle 'bent' to the
right and lit up the roadside fence. He braked the
vehicle. In the middle of an adjacent paddock he saw a
column of light, some 25 feet high and shaped like an
inverted ice cream cone, three feet wide at the bottom
and ten feet wide at the top. It then rose to a height
of 20 feet; then the whole light complex disappeared.
There was no associated noise. Sullivan drove on to
Wycheproof, checked his lights but found nothing
wrong. On the night of April 6 1966, 19 year old Gary
Taylor was killed at the same spot when the car he was
driving left the road and hit a tree, at the same spot
where Sullivan's incident happened. (Sources:
