The commander of the US Navy noticed a large black object in the air at a distance of about 8 kilometers to the West at an altitude of about 600 meters. The Lieutenant commander was driving South from the naval communications station towards the support town of Exmouth on Murat road. 

The officer reported that after about 20-25 seconds, the ship accelerated at an incredible speed and disappeared to the North. The officer, who had never experienced anything like this, said the ship didn't make any noise or jam. 

Five minutes later at the base, fire captain (USN) bill XXXXXX also saw an unusual ship. He was ordered to close the officers ' club, and was traveling there in a 488 fire Department pickup truck when his attention was drawn to a large black object that he initially mistook for a small cloud formation West of zone "B".

He couldn't help but be attracted by the appearance of this object. When he got out of the pickup, he stood and looked at this black sphere floating in a clear and pale blue-green cloudless sky. 

The object was completely stationary, except for a halo around the center that looked either rotating or pulsating.

After 4 minutes, it suddenly took off at high speed and disappeared in a northerly direction in a few seconds.

Original news

Oct. 25, 1973, North West Cape, Exmouth, Australia
1915 hours (approx). A Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy observed a large black, airborne object at a distance of approximately 8 kilometers to the west at an altitude estimated at 600 meters. The Lt. Cmdr. was driving south from the naval communication station towards the support township of Exmouth, along Murat Road. The officer reported that after about 20-25 seconds the craft accelerated at unbelievable speed and disappeared to the north. The officer, who had never experienced anything like it, said the craft made no noise or exhaust. At the base, Fire Captain (USN) Bill XXXXXX also saw the extraordinary craft five minutes later. He had been instructed to close the Officers club and proceeded there in the Fire Dept. pick-up 488, when his attention was drawn to a large black object, which at first he took to be a small cloud formation, due west of Area ‘B’. He couldn’t help but be attracted by this object’s appearance. On alighting from the pick-up, he stood and watched this black sphere hovering in the clear and pale blue-green, cloudless sky. The object was completely stationary except for a halo around the center, which appeared to be either revolving or pulsating. After watching it for approx. 4 minutes, it suddenly took off at tremendous speed & disappeared in a northerly direction, in a few seconds. (UFOs & Government, Chalker
