A provocative example of possibly a true UFO anomaly involving bizarre light effects, a physical trace and a credible witness, occurred near Burkes Flat, Victoria, Australia, on 4 April, 1966.
At about 8 pm, Ron Sullivan, a steel construction contractor, was driving a car along a straight section of road, near Burkes Flat, in central Victoria. Ahead in a paddock he noticed a strange light display. At first it appeared to be a brilliant oval white light on the ground, approximately 15 feet in diameter. It seemed to open up with another oval of light 30 feet above it, and apparently 20 feet in diameter.
The two ovals appeared to make up a cone shape display, within which were numerous tubes of coloured light (covering the spectrum), apparently going up and down. The top appeared to close with the bottom, until the bottom sphere of light began to get smaller. The whole display then vanished.
While observing this extraordinary phenomenon, Sullivan became aware of the impression than his headlight beams were bending towards the strange light display in the field. The bending of the headlights beams became more acute as the car drew closer to the object in the field. Fearing that in fact he was driving off the road towards the phenomenon, Sullivan turned his car in the opposite direction, almost colliding with a tree on the side of the road opposite to where the light display was situated.
He continued driving totally mystified by what he
had experienced. Sullivan eventually reported his experience and found out
that a young man, Gary Taylor, had been killed at Burkes Flat on April 6th,
when his car collided with a tree - the same tree Sullivan himself narrowly
avoided colliding with, when he tried to compensate for the extraordinary
"bending" of his car's headlight beams.
