The case
It cost two dollars at a garage sale: a shoebox of cassette tapes, logbooks and a cipher wheel from the Night Owls Sky Watch Club, with a card on top. "For whoever's curious. Play tape one. D. Lark."
On Friday 14 June 1974 the Night Owls logged four strange lights over the Glass House Mountains. Dot Lark, now 84, was on duty that night. She talks you through the file tape by tape, makes you the club's new duty officer, and hands you the evidence, light by light.
Spooky, funny and fine for families. Every word is voiced, and on screen too. Play it on the couch, solo or with friends.
