AudioBlog: A Lessor Known Australian UFO Case From 1971

As far as well-known Australian UFO cases go, a 1988 report of an
encounter in a desolate area known as the Nullarbor by the Knowles
family, a mother and her three adult sons, is on a lot of lists,
including Wikipedia. According to
the article headlined “UFO Encounter on Nullarbor Plain
Reported” in the January 21, 1988, Canberra Times, the family
told police in Ceduna that they were chased by a UFO after watching
it chase a truck and a car going in the opposite direction. They
reported that it picked up their car, shook it violently, and then
put it back down facing the other way with such force that one of
the tires was blown. Sergeant Fred Longley of the Ceduna Police is
quoted as saying “We have to take it seriously, there’s no reason
why we shouldn’t. There were too many witnesses, the car was
damaged and was covered in ash from the object and they were
clearly shaken up.” While there has been much speculation as to
what might have happened (and some doubt as to the validity of the
story) there was another instance in Australia in 1971, that not
only involved a UFO reportedly picking up a car, but seemingly
carrying it for long distances.
