FLYING SAUCERS PAGE 17
night and no sign of a storm locally or on the horizon, the President of the Hamilton Flying Saucer Investigation Society is investigating a sighting of Flying Saucer that was reported by a local resident at 9.30 that night. (the date of the explosion and the sighting was Saturday 7th November) (omitted the word Saturday in quoting from the Press report.)
(2) Insufferable and violent stanches, likened to rotten eggs, burnt plastic or sulphur, have been reported many times particularly by all those who have encountered the landed objects. This stench has also been noted on other significant occasions not necessarily associated with landings or sightings. One of these incidents has a very personal touch for the presidents of A.F.S.B. and O.S.I. NZ.
