FI,YING SAUCERS SIGHTED OVER BAIRNSDALE. rrP i ctori al
N ew s" ,
Bairnsdal e, Vic . Z4th April, 19 64.
Most peopre are sceptical about reports of
Fiying objects't in the sky, and Mr. Henry Ryarr, "unidentified
of Rupert street,
Bairnsdale, was one of thern.
Now, however, Mr, Ryan is not at all sure, because he
has seen sornething quite inexplicable.
It was at 9.30 on Monday night, Apri I 13th, when
the sky
was too dull for stars, that Mr. Ryan Jirst saw a
vivid blue flash
which seerned to corne frorn two to three rniles
away in a north-
westerly direction.
He watched in arnazerrrent for a few rninutes whire
the
blue and orange lighted object spiralled towards
earth.
He observed that once the object
- for want of a better
word - carrre close to ground level, it siung swiftly
up;]"a""i"
319 to again begin its zig-zagging descent. ""
UNBELIEVABLE - NaturaiiyLnough, he could scarcery berieve his
Mr. Ryan said he carled tris wife and. two visitors,
:y""-' Mrs. E.
Henderson and her son George, both of picnic point.
Mr. Ryan did not have to tell thern what to look
for. The
first thing the three noticed was a brilliant blue
flash.
They sto-od watching for about a half-hour, and the lights
spiralled and arced regurarly rz tirnes. After a few minutes
Mr' Ryan tirned the intervals between the brue flashes,
and these
occ urred ever y l0-15 seconds. There was no storrn that night,
and the object made no noise.
It took only l2 seconds for this flying saucer (or
calt it
what you will) to disappear frorn sight, and Mr.
Ryan was
emphatic that it travelled faster than anything he has
seen.
Four jets, \rery like vapor trairs, 'tut rnuch
shorter and
in brick and orange corors, appeared behind when
the object frew
off at about a 45 degree angle, he said.
Mr. Danny Haylock, who is a representative of the Vic.
Fiying saucer Resear_ch socieiy, was pleased
to hear Mr. Ryan,s
story. He said peopre who do s-ee p.c.rliarities are usuarly
unwilling to admit it, for fear of being "uchthought
eccentric or odd.
Mr' Hayiock said the.socieiy was-trying to find
enougr,
genuine sig-htings to forrn sorne type oi pattern.
so far in Gippsland the sightings have been in a
straight
line frorn Mallacoota to warragut, tiut stlii a great deal rnore co-
operation frorn people who live in this space
a"ge is needed, he said.

their bodies. Bender is taken to their base of operations on Earth,
a vast, undergr ound laboratory beneath Antarctica. Here they
engage in carry ing out their rnission on Earth. The reason they
have travelled vast distances across space to this insignificant
world is no rnore nor less than that they wish to steal large quantit-
ies of water frorn our oceans. Frorn this they rnanufacture a
product of such secrecy that Bender is told nothing about it' This
rnassive undertaking is to occupy 1 5 years (1945-60). Then they
were to go away never to return. Bender is sworn to secrecy; he
is told that if the space people are discovered they will, 'rdetonate
every bornb you have in your stockpiles all over the globe, causing
alrnost total destruction to your planet", and apparently vapourising
rnost of our invaluable sea-water in the process. There is a lot
nlore in sirnilar vein to this; there are even the usual beautiful
blondes who find it necessary to ;:ernove Bender's clothes for the
purpose of anointing his body with a cure for cancer"
What rrranner of rnan is this Bender? He tells us, early
in the book, how he set up a charnber of horrors in his step-father's
hous e in Bridgeport, Connecticut. For "table ornarnents and shelf
decorations" he us-ed, " skulls, shrunken head s, bats, spiders,
snakes and the like, " When he invited a group of friends frorn work
he rnade use of, rrsorne ingenious devices about the roorn which
dropped spiders into their (tris guests) hair. " The early chapters
contain accounts of various phenornena which Bender was subjected
to by the space people before they revealed thernselves to hirn.
These included blue, sulpherous-srnelling lights, rnysterious
visitors who stole his U. F. O. docurnents and a strange bulbous-
eyed being who played a sort of garne of rnusical chairs with hirn in
the local picture theatre and fr:ightened hirn while he was looking in
shop winciows. As if this arrant nonsense were not enough,
Benderrs story of why the space people contacted hirn is the crowrl-
ing absurdity. In Barker's book Bende:: rnade rnuch of the fact that
he had sturnbled onto the secret of the saucers and was silenced for
his pains. Frorn all the evidence Bender was not one whit closer
to solving the rnystery than ailyone else. The interplanetary
visitors jeopardised the success of their visit by revealing all to
Bender because he was an earnest, average, hard working investig-
ator. The visitors are not reticent about telling ho.rz they have
quickiy killed of f any Earth people who hindered their activities.
(fnis point i.s not elaborated and we are left pretty rnuch in the dark
about the details. Why should the visitors reveal their presence
here to Bender when neither stood to gain anything by it? A
cornparison of the rnaterial in the present book with Bender's
cornrnents to Barker in the earlier one show that he has changed his
story considerably since those day s .
u
The book is not irnproved by an asinine epilogue frorn
Barker, whose rnaj.n interest in saucers these days seerrrs confir:ed
to publishing books by people of sirnilar convictions as Bender. In
this epilogue there is rnuch double-talk; Barker says, in effect, that
Bender has indeed solved the rnystery, and also that he hasnrt
solved it; that Bender had a real experience, and also that he irnag-
ined the whole thing" Barker does not want us to doubt his own
courage, "As for the visitors f rorn other planets, I never was
