"At 5:50
P.M., of a lovely sunny evening, we were flying some miles East of the
Tasman Peninsula when on a sudden, there came out of a cloud bank, a
singular airfoil of glistening bronze color. I'd say it was around 150
feet long, and about fifty feet in diameter. It had a short beak on its
prow, and the surface seemed burled, or rippled, or fluted. On its upper
surface was a dome or cupola, from which I seemed to see reflected
flashes as the sun struck something, which might or might not have been a
helmet, worn by something inside. The other end of the airfoil fined
out into a sort of fin. Every now and again there came from its keel
greenish-blue flashes. It turned at a small angle towards us and I was
amazed to see, framed in a white circle on the front of the dome, an
image of a large, grinning Cheshire cat!"
