Renowned Sydney social worker Hetty Miller and her friend Lesie Smith were drinking tea on the veranda when their attention was drawn to a shiny red-and-orange object descending from the sky towards the back of Woodward Street, 150 metres away.

At first it had the shape of a pear, but gradually turned into an ideal sphere. He walked behind the trees, went down 6 meters and moved to other trees 15 meters away from him, then smoothly turned, gradually rising and turning to the northwest, and then suddenly disappeared in the air.

It was absolutely smooth, silent, "beautiful" cherry-red and about 10 meters in diameter.

It passed behind some trees, descended to 6m and the moved towards some other trees 15m away, after which it swerved gently, gradually rising and turning towards the north west and then suddenly vanished in mid air. The thing was totally smooth, soundless and a “beautiful” cherry red colour and an estimated 10m in diameter.
