Australia, 1954. This very compelling photograph of a clearly defined round UFO with top and antenna was taken by sheep farmer W. C. Hall in 1954. If you look real closely, you might see another unknown object in the distance just above a mountain. An excellent photo, and for a newspaper clipping, it is in excellent condition.

Mr W C Hall photographed a dense looking tropical hat shaped UFO of circular form with a prominent dome on top as it hovered over a herd of sheep.
(Sir magazine Feb 55.)

Considering the age of the photo it is quite remarkable. How wealthy was the guy that took the picture. I just wanna know if he would have had the means to alter a photograph like this. Gotta say I have been chasing UFO's for years now and have never seen this pic. GG M...MN S & F for making me think.

Isn't it interesting that it's referred to as a "tropical hat shaped UFO"?
Do we have enough information to rule out a tropical hat or something along those lines? (tossed in the air like a frisbee and photographed)?
Of course the fact that it LOOKS LIKE a topical hat doesn't mean it IS a tropical hat, but I'm not seeing anything to immediately rule out such a possibility.
You're right, there's not much information about this online. The picture is from a newspaper clipping, we surely have to wonder what ever happened to the original photo or negative, and did nobody ever have an interest in investigating this case further than clipping the newspaper article?
There's supposed to be a 2nd UFO visible in the background but I'm having a hard time seeing it.

Subject: A Question About An Old UFO Case
G’day Bill
I hope you don’t mind me being so presumptuous as to e-mail you directly......I saw your e-mail address here: www.ufoinfo.com...
I am looking for a little background info regarding the W C Hall photo (attached & below).
I can get no further than references to it first being published in “Sir Magazine” in 1955.
This is one of the photo’s that first got me interested in this topic.....I recall looking at it when I was very young.
I also think I’ve seen a clearer photo.
Any info or pic’s would be appreciated very much.
If you are too busy.....then no worries, I imagine you get many such requests.
Kind regards
Hunka Hunka
August, 1954 - Australian Sheep Grower W. C. Hall saw six petroltank shaped UFOs land on his ranch in North Queensland, Australia. His chickens, cattle and even the jack rabbits on his farm were affected by an oddly colored exhaust fumes of the UFOs, which he believed brought about a change in the genes of animal life on his ranch, due to Atomic Radiation, as various freaks were born afterwards.
