Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Marc Moravec apparently reported in 1982 that in Smithfield, New South Wales, Australia, on December 27, 1978, at 0200 a.m., a woman claimed to have had 5 UFO sightings.

In the first sighting, the woman allegedly got up from bed when she heard neighborhood dogs barking. It is said she heard a soft, low pitched humming sound, looked outside and saw a large, silvery white, cigar shaped object facing three smaller cigar shaped objects, all at a high altitude, Bluish-silver "sparks" emanated from one cigar while the largest cigar appeared to "shudder". The objects were allegedly viewed for over an hour.

The following afternoon, she allegedly became ill, vomited and had recurring headaches. Several times, she received "mental communications" whilst engaged in routine activities.

In one incident, a male "voice" allegedly started a message by saying "We are peaceful...seek and you will find..."

She also claimed to have seen "letters in the sky" and visions of Christ in a neighborhood church. She claimed to have a psychic background as a medium. Several times, she has allegedly "spoken in tongues."
