Tully ‘saucer nest’ report

Record summary

What happened Farmer George Pedley said he saw a grey-blue disc rise from a lagoon and depart, leaving a circular area of flattened reeds floating on the water. Similar nests were later reported. The event helped popularise the term ‘saucer nest’ before crop-circle culture. Evidence A prompt witness report, photographs of reed circles and police or press inspection document the trace. Explanations considered A waterspout, whirlpool, wind vortex, animal activity or a constructed nest can flatten aquatic vegetation. What remains uncertain The object had one close witness and the vegetation pattern did not uniquely identify its cause. Primary source Tully ‘saucer nest’ report — Wikipedia
