Mr G Carter and family were travelling when they noticed a bright star-like light in the south-east. As they continued along the highway the 'star' came closer and passed slowly over them. Mr Carter said it first appeared to be a Hercules aircraft, however, there was no sound, no standard navigation lights or landing lights. The 'wings' were very rounded and extremely short with a blue light under the right and a green light under the left. There also seemed to be an open hatch or door. Speed seemed only thirty km/h. Closest approach fifty metres. The craft was lost over the north-western horizon. No civil or RAAF aircraft were known to be in the area.

A very precise report of an unusual object was made by a person from the ship MV Ampol Surel. At 0005hrs whilst at twenty-two degrees 3'E, 151 degrees 2'E, with a patchy cloud cover, calm sea, five knot wind and a bright moon, the object was sighted. It moved slowly from behind a black rain cloud and stopped in front of it, for some four to five seconds. It then made a very fast U-turn and went back behind the cloud. twenty to thirty seconds later a similar or the same light moved from behind the cloud, left to right for three seconds. It stopped for eight to ten seconds, started moving up and away slowly increasing in elevation, increasing speed and receded in size until it vanished.

A complex number of reports of a loud, pulsating/swishing, noise heard on various evenings have been reported. On occassions, a large erratic red light was reported to have been seen. A sound recording exists of the noise. In general, the sound would attract the attention of people who might then see a large red light, often appearing from the north-east, which would move erratically over the town. At other times the noise would be heard then the light would just appear, often disappearing in the same manner.

TUFOIC investigation revealed that the police had not received any calls regarding the light and that there were no burglar alarms in the town's shopping centre. The fire brigade's alarm had not gone off at the reported times. No local industry was the cause of the noise. No RAAF flights at the time. In consistent with aircraft. Unexplained to date.

An auxillary nurse was returning home from shift work, along a route she often travels, where her attention was drawn to a light on the top of a hill to the north-west. The witness stopped her car and viewed the light for three minutes. It was a golden yellow colour, stationary, and estimated to be larger than the moon in angular size. Shaken, the nurse drove off losing sight of the light. Weather was fine and clear. Sun had already risen. Hill was covered with bushes.

Farmer A W was returning home at 2.30-3am, when suddenly a bright light appeared in the south-east and approached his car. He discribed the light as star-shaped, and it paced his car all the way to the gates of his farm. The light lit up the area to such a degree, that he could have driven home without using his headlights. When he arrived at the farm gates, the light disappeared. No noise from the object was heard during the incident.

Mr C S dropped his girlfriend off on Sunday 28th March and was on his way to Pearcedale at approximately 3am, when he observed a diamond-shaped light hovering in the sky. The light gradually approached his moving vehicle until it was approximately 400 yards away and at an angle of about 45 degrees.

The area around him was lit up by a plae white glow. The object then raced ahead of him, following the direction of the road. Mr C chased the light for miles up to speeds of 130kph. The object eventually changed direction and was lost by the witness.

The witness and her husband were driving along Golf Course Road when they saw a bright star, low on the horizon, which then just 'switched' off. When the object 'came back on', it then resembled a saucer shaped craft, metallic pewter in colour, with many portholes in the lower section. The UFO emitted a blue beam of light as it flew towards and around the front of the witnesses's car. When the UFO was above the car, the blue beam vanished.

The journey normally takes about three minutes to drive from the Golf Course to the bridge, yet the witnesses felt that twelve minutes had elapsed. Strong possibility of 'Missing Time'. Witnesses have had flashbacks of a being six and a half feet tall in a silver suit with soft facial features and very small eyes, no eyebrows, small nose, and possibly of female persvasion. The female witness was four months pregnant at the time of the sighting. She believes that her daughter is psychic.

Whilst onboard an Ansett 737 aircraft inbound to Launceston airport a fourty year old machanical engineer observed an unusual object for some two minutes. Looking down at an angle of thirty degrees he noted a sphercial shape, with no wings, nor lights, moving at the same speed as the aircraft. It was clearly seen when illuminated by the sun which broke through clouds. It had a metallic colour. It then moved upwards and to the north and was last seen to the rear of the plane.

Investigations by TUFOIC revealed that no other report had been made to the Launceston Airport ATC, and that according to Ansett airlines the crew had not seen the object.

It is the opinion of this editor, that the object observed was nothing stranger than the tip of the 737 or part of its fuselage in which he was flying seen through the curved edge of the plane's windows. You can see the same effects for yourself by looking at the world through an empty milk bottle.? Robert Frola

Whilst approaching the small locality of Hampshire, by car, a man found his vehicle (a 1982 Toyota Crown) was gradually losing power. The vehicle stopped and he turned off the ignition and the lights, which were still on. The man released the bonnet catch, opened the door and put one foot on the ground when he noticed an adjacent barbed wire fence was throwing off sparks. twenty to thirty metres beyond the fence, six metres off the ground, a stationary object was observed hanging over the paddock. The object reminded the witness of a large army helicopter. He closed the door and sat for about a minute watching both the object and the fence. Besides the fizzing fence, there was no noise. Size was estimated to be bus-sized. Colour, blue/black. It seemed to the witness that an orange like glow or glare was visible. The object seemed to be gradually going away to the west as it diminished in size - this took a minute and a half. The fence stopped sparking and the man was able to start the car and leave. Nothing was found to be wrong with the car and nothing abnormal was located in the paddock.

Two sisters were returning from Swansea to Hobart when they noticed a white star-like light to the north-west at forty-five to sixty degrees elevation which later grew to be Venus sized off to the front of the right side of the car. The light maintained this position and was described as off-white to yellowish, it 'paced' the car despite the road changing direction. No effects were noted on the vehicle. Car radio was not on. About three and a half kms north of Sorell it disappeared, lost to sight behind hills to the east. No aircraft in area at time.

Karen Sheffield, a Qld government social worker was in a government vehicle driven by Mark Poulson, a Qld government social worker in the area for 25 years & at the time of the incident was & still is the Youth worker for the Normanton to Boulia area. They were driving from Dajarra to the Gregory River, south of Mt Isa visiting Aboriginal communities and had several Aboriginal children in the back of the utility. At 3 pm driving under clear sunny skies they observed ahead of them a pink object several kms in front of them that they could not identify. As they drew closer they realised that they were approaching a vast stationary pink bubble possibly 10 kms wide & a km high, the edges of the giant bubble were distinct but blurry. It sat on the desert with the blue sky surrounding it. They could not understand what it was that they were approaching until the Aboriginal children began excitedly yelling “Min Min Light, Min Min Light” and then Mark Poulson became very excited & stated that he had heard about the giant pink Min Min Light from others that had observed it over a 25 year period but had never seen it and stated that “he couldn’t believe he was lucky enough to finally see it.

It spread right across the road with a distinct but blurry edge as if it was fog and they drove right into it, stopped the car, got out and wandered around completely bathed in the hot pink light. They were euphoric & all of them sang and danced around for a considerable period of time. Eventually the returned to the car & drove through it & out the other side. Travelling at 100 kms an hour it took about 5 minutes to drive through that portion of the bubble of light that covered the road. The pink bubble of light had nothing to do with sunset which took place at 8 pm, 5 hours later. The pink bubble of light was a distinct phenomena that remained for the entire time that it took to travel to it, through it and away from it. They had no explanation for its existence. Gary Opit

Perth UFO Research Group Investigation
Farmer G S Hinks was indoors when he heard a loud roaring noise. Going outside he saw a bright, white, light moving quickly from east to west. The noise lasted seven seconds, the observation two seconds. Mr Hinks states the approaching noise sounded as though an aircraft would hit the house, but the noise became too loud to be a conventional plane. The noise was to the south and the light to the north-west.

Nearby farmers John and Doris Chapman also heard the loud roaring noise but by the time they gor outside there was nothing to see. It was lightly raining at the time. Another farmer, Mr Laurie Tuckett reported very much the same. At first he thought it was a twin engined aircraft, but the noise it made changed his mind. It was like a heavy truck going up a steep hill, roaring like hell. He had visual sighting for about thirty seconds. There were five other witnesses to this sighting.

INVESTIGATION: No aircraft were in the area, civilian or ?military. The Bureau of Meteorology's weather report for the ?area at that time was as follows:

WIND - NW/20 KTS
TEMPERATURE - 15O C
RAINFALL - 5mm bet 1500hrs 4th OCT & 0900hrs 5th OCT
FULL CLOUD COVERAGE 1500hrs 9000-12,000 ft (Altostratus) 1900hrs 9000-12,000 ft

The noise that the object made was heard over a large area, from Qualeup South to Mordalup and west to Curunup. There was no report of any interference to phones or television, no strange behaviour from dogs or indeed any other farm animals.

Police and seven Rockhampton residents are mystified by a UFO they saw at the weekend. They have been unable to solve the mystery of four strange lights that hovered for more than half an hour.

The lights, accompanied by a "weird, crackling noise", were first seen by a resident of Eton Street Rockhampton, about 11.15pm on Saturday. Within minutes, seven people were watching the lights "dancing" above them. They called police who also sighted the UFO briefly.

The police watched for several minutes before the lights disappeared. Police checked with the Department of Transport who reported no aircraft in the area at the time.

"I'm not ready for a lunatic asylum but I certainly saw something very strange. I've never believed in UFOs but I'll be looking for those lights again every night of my life", said Mr Kevin Dinsdale, a local hardware operator who lives in Eton Street.

Const. Trevor Edwards saw four reddish lights "in the shape of the Southern Cross" hovering above the street.

Observation: I was approximately eight or nine years old and it was a hot summer evening (right on dusk) and I was playing cricket with my next door neighbour on his front yard who was three years younger than me.

I remember him hitting the ball into the air for me to catch and I was running to pick up the ball off the road when he yelled at me 'What's that?' as he pointed above.

I looked up to see an oval shaped object slowly tumbling over and over its self. It was gunmetal grey on the outside and light silver in the middle. You could see what look like metal bolts along the edge of the inner silver middle. All the way around the rim of the object were a series of rectangle lights flashing at various intervals pastel colours such as pale green, blue and pink.

I remember saying 'wow that looks like a ufo' and we ran over to our fathers who were talking on the front driveway of my house to get them to look up above the street but when we went to show them it had vanished.Description: No - only what I've written above.

Location: Brodie Road, Morphett Vale, South Australia Apparent Size: Dinner Plate. Actual Size: Two large cars. Altitude: just below the cloud line. Object Origin: came from the west - travelling in an south-easterly direction. Object Destination: not sure Weather Temp: Warm, Cloudy.

1982/83 near SWAN HILL 1800hrs (VIC)
Source: AUFORN ONLINE Report Form
Witness: Mr. David x
Number of witnesses present: 3
Sighting Duration: 5 minutes

Observation: in 1982 0r 83 December January approx.
I was traveling to swan hill from Melbourne and 30 minutes before arriving where ever that was there where farms and open land either side of me. I witnessed a truck in a paddock onto of a slight undulating hill from the road. I would say it was approx. 350 to 400 meters away from the road. The truck had all its lights on on top and on the bottom. It had no trailer and was just the cab..at the top of the hill there where pine trees in the silhouette of dusk, the other side of the hill was lit more brightly as the sun was going down on that side highlighting the trees on the ridge.

Description: The truck had all its high beams on an object that was the size of a helicopter .. with flashing lights on the out skirts. The truck slowly moved towards the object. The object moved so fast up then down that I was lost for the interpretation of such movement.. and also the truck had turned its steering wheel and floored the wheels as the dust was evident in the light of the truck. It looked like slow motion because of the distance of the truck from me, but emphasized the incredible agility of this object. The truck turned around and slowly crept up to the object once again with all its lights on the object and once again this objected jumped up and across and came back and the truck was still turning and dust in its headlights showing me whatever the truckie saw was terrifying, but was curious it happened one more time and it blasted off straight up like it never was there.

Location: The 2 passengers in my car where crying as I tried to find an opening in the paddock, so I continued to Swan Hill I also seen the flashing lights.. they where rotating because it was a sphere the ends would flash more because of the distance .. it was flashing like the was a major accident.

I know that it was not of this earth by the distance and the comparable truck responses in response to the object ... 1000% not of this earth.

I am hoping that truck driver will or would have made a report that by coincidence will confirm each other, there's a little more to the story that only he would know and me.

I now what I saw and I used the environment to show me distance and logic and it defies my understanding of the world still today.

There is a truck driver that has the story and I am the witness that he does not know exists on a lonely road 25 odd years ago one summers day. Apparent Size: Dinner Plate. Altitude: tree top hight just below Weather Visibility: Clear. Effects Psychological: I am different to most Effects Other: it cant be explained, lets say knowledgeable.

Report taken by Diane Frola AUFORN

I lived on top of the range at Toowoomba near Picnic Point where the big telescope is you can see all around the country side. Anyway we were all there there was 5 of us, it was a beautiful night I happened to go out side for something. It was early in the night it had just got dark there was no clouds. I look up and I see this thing coming across the sky moving up and down and across then it stopped and stayed stationary.

I thought what in the world is that, so I went and called everybody to come out and have look. I didn't have a camera in those days so I couldn't take a photo of it. I got my binoculars which pulled it down a little bit closer. honest to God it stayed there for an hour, it was there when we went to bed we got sick of watching it.

Q: (What did it look like.)

It was silver it had ridge on top of it, it was the saucer shape it had oval lights all around it, every light shone a different colour it was absolutely gorgeous. My husband said lets go out the back see if it looks different, as though it going to look different w did but it didn't look different. We gave up in an hour and went to bed.

The next morning my friend rang me from the other side of Toowoomba she lives half way down the range at Murphy's Creek she told me she got a call from one of our other friends who had told her she had seen a flying saucer, she laughed and said how silly is that.

I told my friend it was true Sue did see the saucer and she had a pill of friends with her she was out in the yard at Murphy's Creek.
