F Pearce Re Unidentified Light, sighted about 4 miles ~orth east of Boddington and to the w~st of the Boddington Bannister have to report that in consequence of attending a reported sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object on a Mr Peter ST..t!iWAhT' S farming propert y at North Bannister the 20.11. 73, whilst travelling to STEWART' S arm and when about 4 miles north east of Bod ington on the Bannister Road I sighted a strange light which appeared to be following the Police Vehicle. This light gave off an amber coloured light that changed to blue and back to amber frequently. light was abouv twice the size of a car headlight but did not show any beam. It appeared to travelling along in a south-north direction following a line of hills which were to the west of my position and about 1 mile away. light was first seen at about 10.20pm on the 20. 11. 73 by me and appeared to follow the Police vehicle for about 2 miles. It then appeared to move off and stop about 1 mile ahead of the vehicle. As we approached in line with it again it appeared to dip down into a gully and rise up and stopped. Senior Constable NOuNAN who was driving the Police Vehicle then stopped in line with the light and I alighted and observed it for about 3 minutes. S/Constable NOONAN also alighted and observed the light which then appeared to slowly dim and go out. Similar to a torch light with the battery going flat. light then suddenly r eappeared in the same spo) and was very bright . S/Constable NOONAN then put on the rear stop lights of the vehivle and the light went out and was not seen again. light was below the brow of the line of hills and there are no roads and it is verysteep and rocky in the area. whole time the light was ebscrved was about 6 minutes and appeared to large and bright to be a star and also its position made it impossible to be a star. After attending at STE\1'ART' S ploperty in which the light he described appeared to be similar to that seen by me, we returned to Boddington and on the way observed the evening star. This star disappeared below the line hills in the area that I had seen the light and was not sighted for about 6
