MARCH 1997
21 Mar 1997, Coolangatta Qld 1340hrs
(Source: UFORQLD  Encounter No 175.  Note: QUFON received an almost identical report but dated 4 Apr 1510hrs.)
A passenger in a Sydney to Brisbane flight was passing over Coolangatta on descent to Brisbane
when they saw a long, thin, dark grey cloud to the East and out to sea. It was estimated to be 1km long. It then changed shape and divided into segments, becoming more hazy. A bright white light flashed twice from one end of the object. Except for this cloud, which could have been well out to sea, the sky was clear. The witness contacted ATC but was advised there were no aircraft in the vicinity at the time.
