00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:01,440
mickey out of you we weren't going to go

00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:05,199
because it might happen to someone else

36
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:06,799

00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:08,560
time in the morning was it when you when

38

44
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:21,360
on the middle of the road it was

45
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,200

123
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:07,840
tree in the bushes

124
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:09,439

126
00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:12,400

128
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:15,519

129
00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:16,320
further

130
00:04:20,789 --> 00:04:19,359
from us i'm sorry that's right and so

131
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,799
up the road a bit further then they'll

132
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:22,160
come back looking for you yeah and then

133
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:24,080
we took off in the bushes

134
00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:25,759
how long did you stay in the bushes oh

135
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:27,600
about 15 minutes

136
00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:29,040
then all of a sudden it took off again

137
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:30,639
and we when we hopped in the car to take

138
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,520
off again

139
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:33,360
come after us again wouldn't leave us

140
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:34,560
alone

141
00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:37,840
well did you who changed the tyre sean

142
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:39,199
chang took him two minutes to change

143
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:39,840
satori

144
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:41,759
i bet it did we left a jack and

145
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:42,960
everything we just left everything up

146
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:44,400
there we just took off

147
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,720
and at that stage did you think you'd

148
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:48,479
you evolved with a with a flying saucer

149
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:49,840
yes we really did

150
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:51,199
we said we're dead you know we thought

151
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:53,600
we were really dying

152
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:56,240
the question this morning that possibly

153
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:57,840
the argument against whether it was ufo

154
00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:58,240
or not

155
00:05:01,270 --> 00:05:00,160
that possibly it was a freak it was a

156
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:01,280
what they call ball

157
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,800
lightning do you believe no that's not

158
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:04,479
true no way no way

159
00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:06,960
if it's happening for about an hour and

160
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:08,639
a half

161
00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:11,840
i doubt if that's a ball all this well

162
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:13,039
for about an hour and a half

163
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,960
yeah it went on for about an hour and a

164
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,560
half wouldn't leave us alone

165
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:18,400
did any other cars or trucks pass you at

166
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:20,240
least they did there was a couple of

167
00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:20,880
trucks

168
00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:23,039
we tried to pull one up but the lady

169
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:24,240
wouldn't pull up for us because she's

170
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:25,919
lady trucky she told us when we got up

171
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:27,440

might have been did you cross your minds

185

maybe it was some

186
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:00,469

00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:03,520
other cars and all of a sudden

189
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,160
come after us we don't really know

190
00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:08,800
because there was four of us in the car

191
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:10,800
so none of you got physically hurt don't

192
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:12,240

200
00:06:30,629 --> 00:06:25,840
know

201
00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:30,639
the way it happened it actually seemed

202
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:32,800
like was a movie one of the policemen

203
00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:34,720
has already said that uh

204
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:36,240
that when you finally talked to them

205
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,840
that your mother was uh was really

206
00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:39,280
shocked you really looked like you'd

207
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:40,479
seen something horrible out there in the

208
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:42,479
desert we did we were like ghosts

209
00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:44,880
we were just like white ghosts did you

210
00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:46,160
manage to

211
00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:49,520
sleep last night no i couldn't sleep

212
00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:51,199
i i'm too scared to turn the light off

213
00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:53,039
now and when we're driving along the car

214
00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:54,319
i'm frightened that it's behind us all

215
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,960
the time

216
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:57,199
there's chasteness are you likely to

217
00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:59,039
drive home again

218
00:07:02,150 --> 00:07:00,560
no i don't think so not enough that way

219
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:02,160
i know right we're getting trained home

220
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:05,520
to perth taking a train back now the ash

221
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,440
that was on the car and in the car

222
00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:08,800
was the ash still there when you got the

223
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:10,560
police station yes we left everything

224
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:12,000

225
00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:13,120
with the car

226
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:14,720
we're getting all checked there for us

227
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:17,280
is that ash being um being analyzed yeah

228
00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:18,880
everything is everything's going to be

229
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,199
you should set it higher

230
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:23,280
do you now believe that there is life in

231
00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:25,039
outer space no actually i

232
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:26,479
i'm not saying believe it all don't you

233
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:29,120
know but what i'm saying is uh

234
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:30,720
there is something out there which you

235
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:33,680
can't explain which i don't know

236
00:07:37,189 --> 00:07:34,800
there's definitely something out there

237
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:37,199
it's got something's got to be done

238
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:38,960
someone else is going to get really hurt

239
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:42,639
what could be done we don't really know

240
00:07:45,830 --> 00:07:44,720
and just one final question about the

241
00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:45,840
the look of it

242
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:47,360
do you all agree on the description of

243
00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:48,960
it or you have different ideas no

244
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:51,599
we definitely agree on the library so

245
00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:53,039
what like do you think it was

246
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:54,560
um it was uh all of a sudden it was a

247
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:56,800
small line and all of a sudden it comes

248
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:58,000
so big like it's like a big

249
00:08:02,469 --> 00:08:00,479
ball could you see anything in the

250
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:02,479
middle of anything metallic

251
00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:05,280
um we don't really know you know in a

252
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,879
state of shock

253
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:08,400
i didn't really take notice patrick is

254
00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:10,000
that the sort of thing you you saw

255
00:08:17,749 --> 00:08:15,670
looked like a truck headlight and on top

256
00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:17,759
it looked like it had a light uh

257
00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:20,240
high beam like a light high beam and

258
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:21,120
like a flash

259
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:24,560
it was kept on flashing okay

260
00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:27,440
it's terrible and uh sean how do you

261
00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:36,949

262
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:38,479

266
00:08:48,389 --> 00:08:46,240
the ufo stories

267
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:48,399
believers will believe and non-believers

268
00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:49,519
will scoff perhaps

269
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:50,959
i've said before it's always intrigued

270
00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:53,200
me when people claim to be taken away by

271
00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:55,200
little green men and flying saucers that

272
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:56,240
they always go for

273
00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:58,240
corn farmers from iowa and never for a
