The Encounter

The person is Kevin Hurley, a university student studying engineering in 1966. He received a call from his uncle about a UFO that had landed near a primary school. Kevin rode his bike to the location and saw a group of people, including a news crew, looking at a circular area in the grass where the grass was flattened and twisted. He later returned with friends but found the area had been cut and burned. Kevin felt frustrated when the media attributed the sighting to a weather balloon. He wrote letters to newspapers and became involved with the Victorian UFO Society. The encounter had a lasting impact on him, leading to ongoing interest in UFOs and public sharing of his experience.
