Report of increased UFO activity in Australia

===============ParaNet Alpha  UFO Reports    ===============The
Mutual UFO Network is reporting several areas of increased UFO
activity around the country and in Australia. In the case Down Under,
Walt Andrus reports that a lady and her two sons were driving from
Perth to Melbourne at about 2:45AM Wednesday when they spotted
a craft shaped like an "egg-cup" through their rear window. The
object overtook the car, and according to the occupants, the entire
vehicle was lifted into the air, shaken violently, then dropped
back onto the road, causing damage and a blown tire. The claimants
reported that their voices seemed oddly distorted and "slowed down"
during the encounter. They also reported a residue of a powdery
gray substance seemed to have been deposited on the car. There were
several independent witnesses to a UFO in the same general area in
the same time frame, including two men on a fishing trawler 50 miles
away. Initial news dispatches have it that the fishermen experienced
the same vocal distortion; however, Andrus was hesitant on that
point, saying that its possible the news service was confusing its
facts. He said that two MUFON investigators are on the case, Keith
Basterfield and Bill Chalker. He confirmed that the grey powder is
being analyzed. [Hot tip from Your Administrator: We will be very
interested if the stuff turns out to be Magnesium Oxide.]Back in
this country, a UFO seems to be buzzing the town of Gulf Breezes in
the Florida Panhandle. Andrus, who spent four days in the Pensacola
suburb at the request of MUFON State Director Donald Ware, reports
that a gentleman who wishes to remain anonymous has taken 16
"amazingly clear and detailed" polaroid photos of the object, as
well as a Beta videotape. The object is reportedly of the classic
disk variety. Adding to the mystery, another anonymous photographer
sent his entire 35mm camera to a newspaper with undeveloped film
inside. Whent developed, the film showed the same object. Andrus
says that efforts are being made to coax the photographer out of the
closet. He acknowledged that it could be the same chap as the one who
took the polaroids, but adds that there are several other independent
witnesses to the sightings.Other hotspots which seem to be flaring
up include the Texarkana, Arkansas, area, and parts of Michigan,
Georgia, and (shades of NIGHT SIEGE), the Hudson Valley. No one is
declaring a UFO flap at this stage, however, that may be partially
due to caution by local MUFON investigators not to muddy the waters
with "copycat" reports.ParaNet will continue to keep you apprised of
developments. Watch this column for further information and updates.
