Dazzling Flying Object Sighted in Fiji Islands

HONOLULU (U.P.) -- The Fiji government, in a report received here Monday, said a white clergyman and four natives reported a dazzling object in the South Pacific skies which generally matched the description of an unidentified object reported in Texas.

The report issued from Suva, capital of the island group, said three separate sightings of the strange flying object were reported last week.

First, their report said, four Fijian fishermen from the Nabouqalu [sic, Nabouwalu] village in Bua Province on the island of Vanua Levu said they saw a "strange object white in color and circular in shape descending from the sky." They were very near it and saw it hovering at a steady height of 20 feet above the sea.

"It appeared to be revolving and on it appeared to be the figure of a man", the Suva report continued. "As the Fijian approached in their boat a blinding light shone on them. They said it dazzled them and made them feel weak.

"Then the object went straight up into the air and disappeared into the night sky," the report said.
