One case often gets mentioned where a huge craft was witnessed hovering 100 metres above the park ’ s amenities block for some time , before taking off at an astonishing speed .
Daytime sightings are not uncommon and sometimes UFO ’ s have followed cars , although they generally seem unconcerned with people – obviously if humans were the main object of interest , this little town would not draw the activity that it does .
The local restaurant ‘ s walls are covered with newspaper clippings written by UFO sceptics and believers alike . A number of websites have rehashed a story based around an interview with the owner of the tourist park , and this extract is taken from Unexplained Australia :
