I do not know if this relevent but in July while I was seeing my friend off at approximately 9.00pm on a thursday night, we both noticed some red lights in the night sky. We live in South Australia near Gawler, the lights were in the northern part of the sky, upon us (plus three children of our own) looking at them for a period of time to see if they were planes from the nearby Edinburgh Airbase and noticing them to be stationary I went inside to grab my video camera to get some footage. I have taken about 4 to 5 minutes of footage but it is a bit shaky but the lights are clearly visable. We have not either of us bothered about this until now , It seems that no-one else has reported a sighting of the three red lights either. Brad Mildern (Independent Investigator)

Julian stated he observed a large, long object travelling at a speed of about 20 knots and below the ionisphere, heading out to Ballina/Kingscliffe area.

As he lives parallel to Coolangatta airport he is used to seeing planes everyday etc. but observed this object to be metallic, and maybe 200m in height with a huge flame trailing that looked like a jet afterburn but x 200 in size. Julian also observed the same object at 7 p.m. but stated the object was moving about 100 knots. Didn’t know what it was, states it wasn’t an aeroplane, blimp or meteor, as he is a pilot he has seen most phenomena. AUFORN QLD

Several people were out for an evening walk when a bright area of light was noticed on a group of nearby trees; the source of the light was not evident at this time. Soon after a bright round orange light was seen to the south-east, the light looked to be about 3 times an average star size. The silent light was stationary for several minutes at a 35 degree elevation. Then it started to move slowly away to the south towards Launceston gaining elevation as it receded into the distance. In a few minutes it was twice as high in the sky and was lost from sight. Keith Roberts TUFOIC.

Two Tura Beach residents are seeking an explanation for curious light phenomena they witnessed in the southwestern sky on Sunday night. Baden Cameron and his neighbours Tom and Yvonne Scott watched the rotating light disk, which varied from circular to elliptical, for about an hour between 9.30 and 10.30pm. “It was a flat spinning disk that I calculated was moving at about 30 revolutions per minute,” Mr Cameron said. “I am a UFO sceptic and it was clearly man-made, but we have not been able to come up with an explanation for what caused it. “If anyone can shed any light on what caused the strange light display we’d like to hear from them.” Mr Cameron said the light appeared to be reflected off the heavy stratocumulus cloud cover. “But there was no obvious sign of a laser display or search light operating,”

Mr Cameron said. “It disappeared about midnight.” He said the light was at an angle of about 70 degrees on the south western side of Merimbula and occupied about eight or nine degrees of sky. “It was very much larger for example than a full moon,” he said. Mr Cameron, an experienced ocean sailer, said the source of the light was not a lighthouse and he did not believe it was an aurora. “The fact that it has not been reported elsewhere suggests it was localised,” he said. “We thought there might have been something happening at Magic Mountain, or that it may have been caused by the lights on the new Vodafone tower, but both those explanations seem unlikely.”

I had just come back from shopping when I noticed out of the corner of my eye a bright light in the sky. I stopped turned around for a better look and watched the object for around five minutes.

The object was grey metallic in colour the size of a small pea at arms length. She rang the Brisbane control tower but they were not keen to comment. Witness said she thought it may have been a plane with its lights on but ruled that out when the object stayed in the same position for five minutes. Witness said the object just suddenly vanished. Still under investigation. Diane Harrison AUFORN

Andrew notified UFO Research (NSW) of a sighting viewed from his house at Eden on 27 July 2003. Andrew with his wife Simone and two friends, Mick and Jenny, were at their house located on the Princes Highway.

I spoke initially with Andrew and later with Jenny and their account had been:

The two women were on the front balcony when they noticed a large object coming towards them travelling from northwest. They called Andrew and Mick who viewed the object through binoculars.

They initially thought it was a plane but the lack of sound and movements and light formation drew their attention to think otherwise. Andrew stated that the object was only about one kilometer above the house and appeared ‘dinner plate’ size to the naked eye. It was doing strange manoeuvres and changed direction travelling in a southerly direction. The objects lights were white and oscillating and as it went over the house appeared more intense. The object flew off at an incredible speed. Errol Newlyn UFORNSW

Deirdre was driving home from work, when she glanced at the clock in her car to see the time as 6:01pm. Deirdre then glanced up towards the sky to see a ‘fire ball’ heading towards the ground, it seemed to glow white with an appearance of intense heat it also had a small tail behind it. The object seemed to be the size of a golf ball to Deirdre. As the object got closer to the ground it changed colour from white to an intense red and then finally to black as the flames seemed to go out. It was then that Deirdre noticed that the objects shape was round. Deirdre then lost site of the object. George Simpson AUFORN VIC
