00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:19,840
road a bit further then it'll come back

156
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:21,120
looking for you yeah and then we took

157
00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:22,720
off in the bushes

158
00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:24,479

about 15 minutes

160
00:05:29,270 --> 00:05:27,680
then all of a sudden it took off again

161
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,280
and we when we hopped in the car to take

162
00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:31,680
off again come after us again wouldn't

163
00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:33,199

who changed the tyre sean chang took him

166
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:38,800
two minutes to change the tire i bet it

167
00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:39,600
did

168
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:41,039
we left a jack and everything we just

169
00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:42,320

170
00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:43,039
off

171
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:45,360
and at that stage did you think you'd

172
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:47,120
you evolved with a with a flying saucer

know we thought we were really dying

175
00:05:56,469 --> 00:05:54,880
the question this morning that possibly

176
00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:56,479
the argument against whether it was ufo

177
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,560
or not that possibly it was a freak it

178
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:00,560
was what they call ball lightning do you

179
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:03,120
believe no that's not true no way no way

180
00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:05,520
if it's happening for about an hour and

181
00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,280
a half

182
00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:09,280
i don't doubt if it's a ball

183
00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:10,720
you think you're all this well for about

184
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:12,560
an hour and a half and it went on for

185
00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:14,160
about an hour and a half wouldn't leave

186
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:16,639

187
00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:18,160

why do you think that that single out

209
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:01,039
your car we don't know it's chasing

210
00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:02,800

211
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:04,800
us we don't really know

212
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:07,440
because there was four of us in the car

213
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:08,240

222
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,479

a movie

227
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:32,240

00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:57,680
are you likely to drive home again

241
00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:59,120
no i don't think so not enough room that

242
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,400

243
00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:03,120
home to perth taking a train back

244
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:05,520
now the ash that was on the car in the

245
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:07,360

246
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:08,879

250
00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:15,919
that ash being um being analyzed yeah

251
00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:17,520
everything is everything's going to be

252
00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:19,840
you should set it higher

253
00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:21,919
do you now believe that there is life in

254
00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:24,319
outer space no actually i i'm not saying

255
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:25,759
believe it all don't you know but what

256
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:27,759
i'm saying is uh

257
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:29,360
there is something out there which you

258
00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:30,720
can't explain

259
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:32,320
which i don't know

260
00:08:35,909 --> 00:08:33,440
there's definitely something out there

261
00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:35,919
it's got something's got to be done

262
00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:37,599
someone else is going to get really hurt

263
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,360
what could be done we don't really know

264
00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:43,360
and just one final question about the

265
00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:45,440
the look of it do you all agree on the

266
00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:46,720
description of it or you have different

267
00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:48,640
ideas no we definitely agree on the

268
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:50,000
library

269
00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:52,000
so what like do you think it was um it

270
00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:54,560
was all of a sudden it was a small line

271
00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:56,080
and all of a sudden it comes so big like

272
00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:58,320
it's like a big ball

273
00:09:01,110 --> 00:08:59,440
could you see anything in the middle of

274
00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:01,120
anything metallic

275
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:02,720

277
00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:05,519
state of shock

278
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:07,040
