CIRCA 1913, NURIOOTPA, BAROSSA COUNCIL, AUSTRALIA, A FARMER:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

In 2004, one Darryl Tiggeman, of Adelaïde, told Australian ufologist Keith Baskerfield that about 1984, he had heard a radio talkback show with Colin Norris, in which a close encounter of the third kind surfaced dated as of circa 1913.

The story was that in Nuriootpa, South Australia, on circa 1913, at an unknown time, a farmer discovered a metallic landed object on a field and was "zapped" by a humanoid which appeared from within it, leaving a lasting paralysis in the witness.

Basic information table:

Narratives:

[Ref. kb1:] KEITH BASKERFIELD:

The Australian ufologist indicates that circa 1913, in Nuriootpa, SA, Australia, a farmer discovered a landed object and was "zapped" by a humanoid which appeared from within it, leaving a lasting paralysis in the witness.

He indicates that the case appeared through a personal communication from Darryl Tiggeman of Adelaide in 2004, who cited that the source was a radio talkback show featuring Colin Norris in circa 1984.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Nuriootpa, South Australia, on circa 1913, at an unknown time, a farmer discovered a metallic landed object on a field and was "zapped" by a humanoid (not described) which appeared from within it, leaving a lasting paralysis in the witness. No other information.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Darryl Tiggeman Adelaide Australia, citing Colin Norris.

[Ref. js1:] JEAN SIDER:

The author indicates that in 1913 in Nuriotpa, Australia, there was a CE3 case with a farmer residing in the south of the country, who claims to have discovered a metallic object landed in a field and have been abused, "zapped" by a humanoid creature that was out of it, which resulted in permanent paralysis of the witness.

The author says his source is Rosales from Darryl Tiggeman, Adelaide, Australia, citing Colin Norris.

Jean Sider suggests that the case "If it is genuine, of course," could hide an abduction because the word "zapped" suggests that the witness endured physical hardships, as in the case of Joslin in 1897, and the modern abductees undergoing "medical examinations", but perhaps it is "something else".

Points to consider:

The story is heavily backdated as it apparently surfaced on 70 years later. Not much can be said, except that it is unfortunate that not more details are known.
