Summary

In May 1964, a witness in Canberra, Australia, observed a bright object with an unstable movement. The object, larger and brighter than Venus, was moving northeast with an irregular wobble. Near it, a second object with a reddish glow remained stationary. The first accelerated suddenly toward the second, colliding with it without explosion or noise. After the collision, the large object moved away without wobbling, while the small one disappeared after flickering. The description didn't match known satellites or aircraft.

Investigators, including a U.S. Embassy scientific attaché and NASA representatives, found no plausible explanation. Weather balloons, aircraft, and satellites were ruled out. The witness, a local resident, insisted the experience deeply affected him. The early morning atmosphere and a slight haze added mystery. Though some speculated it could have been an unknown refueling process, no confirmation followed. The report was sent to multiple agencies but remained unresolved.
