1954 North Queensland

In October 1954, W.C. Hall owned a 15,000-acre sheep station in North Queensland. According to Hall he observed six small white dots descending from the sky. These dots grew larger as they approached, revealing themselves to be cylindrical objects resembling petrol tanks which landed on his property, emitting oddly coloured exhaust fumes affecting his chickens, cattle and rabbits. Hall later believed there was radiation in the fumes as various mutated animals were born afterwards.

Approximately a dozen humanoid figures exited, forming a group before re-entering the craft and ascending back into the sky. Hall reported experiencing a blackout during the incident, followed by a vision of his property transformed into a "fertile paradise." He claimed that within two months, the land had become more fertile, though this transformation was not independently verified.

In addition to his account, Hall captured a photograph of a UFO over his property on July 18, 1954. The image shows a clearly defined round object with a top and antenna. The photograph was generally considered to be a hoax by UFO researchers at the time.
