Occupation: roofer


Observation: while placing my ladder onto the top of my truck,an econovan I was looking up towards the sky where i noticed a perfect round brilliantly white object at first I thought it may have been the reflection on an aeroplanes windscreen heading for sydney, however it wasn't moving fast enough if at all. Then it moved to the west slowly and appeared to just hover, then it moved east came north slowly then arced west and reversed on itself at great speed now moving southeast. it is my opinion it was not a plane. any ideas?

Description: no sounds at all however it was quite high probably the same altitude as a plane. The shape remained the same when it was close and also when it disappeared, very bright and white. Apparent Size: Tennis Ball Actual Size: I see plenty of planes going over our area so I would say it was three times bigger than a plane. Altitude: about the same altitude as an aeroplanes maybe slightly higher. Object Origin: from over the southern eastern ocean. Object Destination: the same way it came the south east Weather: Clear

Other Experiences: When I was 18 I was completing my Duke of Edinburgh awards scheme in england and 5 of us guys were lost in grizedale forrest (http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/infd-5k2b6b). We saw a very large pyrenean mountain dog up ahead of us, we were a little concerned as it appeared to be appearing at various points and times, in our confusion we got more lost which was unusual as we had a guy who was great at map reading. We were in the dark section under a heavy foliage when an owl flew at us and missed us by inches throwing us into more confusion. When we finally appeared out we were almost where we had entered and lost about 4 hours. I have read about abduction cases and I'm sure we weren't though.

Shape of object: Triangle
Weather Conditions: Clear,still light.


Description: I was ridding my bike down my street to deliver my neighbours little dog back to them when I noticed an object flying in from the Southwest. At first I thought it was a plane until it got closer. The object was no plane, it was a UFO. I called to a jogger jogging down the road yelling out to him to turn around and look up at what I was seeing. I think the Jogger got scared of me shouting after him too look up look up, ha! he must have thought I was crazy OR SOMETHING as he ran off very fast.

There was a lady standing near her car so I asked her if she saw what I had seen, she laughed at me and said "ye right" mate.

The Object was silver with six portholes or windows? it looked to be rocking so it was hard to see what shape the back end was as it traveled across the sky. It had a clearish triangle shape V in the middle of it the V looked as though it was see through but I couldn't see through it. The object was around 100 meters above my head, there was no sound it was the size of a two storey house, the object appeared to change shape, very very strange.

"If ONLY the neighbours dog could talk"
I rang the Police and Laverton RAAF base nothing.

Witness: Jimmy xxx
Occupation: Wine Marketer
Sighting Duration: less than a minute

Observation: It was a warm day, and my sister and I were sitting on the lawn in the back yard of her house in Parkside, Adelaide. Being tired from lack of sleep the night before I was lying down on my back looking up at the sky. I noticed a bright/shiny object very high up in the sky (seemed likecloud level, there were a few cirrus /cirrostratus clouds) in a north easterly direction, elevation close to 80 degrees. The object was stationary and the shine looked like it could be a direct reflection of sunlight.

Description: After initial observation, the brightness/shinyness of the object dimmed, over 15 seconds or so, then disappeared, all while remaining stationary. Less than 30 seconds later, the object reappeared and took off in a south-south easterly direction at approximately half the brightness of the initial observation. It was travelling south at high speed, in an exact straight line, before disappearing after traversing around 70 degrees of sky in just over 5 seconds - this makes it a very fast object indeed. Location: Parkside, Adelaide, SA.

Other Witnesses: My sister. I pointed out the initial sighting to her and
she confirmed it, but was no longer looking when I saw the object subsequently move across the sky. Apparent Size: larger than a star in
apparent size. Actual Size: 20m diameter. Object Origin: North East of directly up, but at around 75-80 degrees above the horizon, so very nearly directly overhead. Object Destination: Just west of due south.

Moon Visible: Saw the crescent moon on the opposite side of the sky, but
about the same elevation (almost directly overhead also). Moon Size Comparison: High cloud height. Weather Visibility: Clear, Hot Sunny, Calm Other Comments: cirrus/cirrostratus clouds had begun to
appear over the previous 30 minutes.

Sighting Duration: 30 seconds
Occupation: Music Professional

Observation: 10:40am 12th March 2008 - I was driving S/W toward Perth on Walter Rd Embleton. As I neared the traffic lights at the intersection of Walter and Beechborough Rd's I noticed a long thin silver object at about 45 degrees to my left at about 1 o/clock in the sky. At first I thought it was just a plane, however I kept looking as I wasn't entirely sure. It seemed to be going a little fast for an aircraft and seemed to be pointing down at about a 20 degrees . As I watched the object vanished before my eyes! From my vantage it was a long thin polished silver object about the size of a small plane with a blue hue toward its trailing end. My daughter and I saw a similar object in Guildford a couple of weeks ago. At the time we weren't sure if it was a plane or not. We did pull over to try to photograph it but it also had vanished.

I hope you don't think I'm seeing things as this is the second report I've made in the last month or so. I do make an effort to look out for them, and my daughter's have both seen at least one with me.

Location:Corner of Beechborough Rd and Walter Rd Embleton looking west. Apparent Size Other:1cm - Actual Size:Size of a small plane - Altitude:1000ft? Object Origin:Sw - to west turning north.

Object Destination:It just vanished! I couldn't tell which way it might have gone. - Weather Visibility:Clear, Hot, Sunny, Calm Weather Comments: Possible I saw same craft with daughter fortnight earlier. - Viewing Aids:polaroid sunglasses.

Other Experiences:This is my third definite sighting since about 2000. I have had periods of time in my life when I was certain I was being harassed by demons, suffering waking paralysis and sensing living entities in several of my residences. During these periods I have had incredible revelations about the existence of other dimensions and various other things, mostly spiritual. Now that I am more aware of the UFO


17.03.08 WOOYUNG TWEED SHIRE (NSW) 1850hrs (NL)
Source: AUFORN ONLINE UFO Report Form
Witness: Mr. Gary x
Number of witnesses present: 1
Sighting Duration: 5 minutes.
Occupation: Environmental consultant

Observation: Monday 17 March 2008 I observed a bright spherical white light UFO, judged to be about 10m (30ft) in diameter, appearing to look twice the size and brightness of Venus, observed at 7.50 pm daylight savings time (6.50 eastern standard time) at dusk from my home at Jones Road Wooyung, 1.5 km inland from Wooyung Beach in the Tweed - Byron Shire area and viewed for about 5 minutes. First observed travelling slowly south, directly towards me at approximately 1000m above ground, moving through scattered clouds with occasional stars visible above & with a half moon shining brightly to the north.

At first I wondered if it was the landing lights of an aircraft that had taken off from Coolangatta Airport and was travelling much further east than such aircraft normally do. However, no red, green or strobe lights were visible & no noise emanated from the craft. It was travelling through low light cloud & almost disappeared when travelling through a dense cloud before re-emerging into light cloud & clear sky.

As it passed directly over-head I observed and then heard the approach of a commercial airliner on descent to Coolangatta Airport flying north 1km off the Northern NSW coast. The bright spherical white light UFO then changed course and curved towards the north east so that it was obviously in a collision course with the airliner. The UFO remained at the same elevation & speed and passed through a denser cloud. This caused its appearance to change so that the light at the rear of the object extended a short distance and its shape now appeared to be like a comet with a short tail, the entire object perhaps 20m (60ft)in length and still almost directly overhead.

Emerging from the dense cloud it then regained its original appearance & I was able to view both the airliner with its normal landing lights, red, green, strobe lights, and faint pilot & passenger window lights all visible contrasting with the bright spherical white light UFO converging on it. Even though I was now viewing the unidentified object from behind as it continued its curved course to the northeast it still looked the same as when it was first approaching me.

It then occurred to me that the bright white object should be clearly visible to passengers on the left hand side of the airliner & approaching them on a possible collision course. Both the airliner and the UFO were travelling at the same speed and elevation with the airliner travelling north and the UFO travelling northeast. The UFO then appeared to pass directly in front of the airliner perhaps 300 to 400 metres away and should have been clearly visible to the pilots. It was difficult to judge if the UFO was just above, below or at the exact elevation of the airliner but the difference would not have been more than about 50 metres.

Even though the UFO was now travelling away from me & I was therefore viewing it from behind, it looked identical as to when it was approaching me & when directly overhead. Both airliner and UFO passed behind trees. I spent some time afterwards keeping a watch in case it returned but saw nothing else unusual.

Description: The UFO remained at the same elevation & speed but changed direction so that it would intersect the flight path of a commercial airliner. It passed through a dense cloud that caused its appearance to change so that the light at the rear of the object extended a short distance and its shape now appeared to be like a comet with a short tail, the entire object perhaps 20m (60ft)in length and still almost directly overhead. It was silent. Location: My home in the Tweed - Byron Shire area, Northern NSW. Other Witnesses: N - Apparent Size: Tennis Ball - Actual Size: roughly 10 m or say 60 foot - Altitude: The same height as the base of the normal low cumulous clouds or an aircraft descending to land but still several kms away from the airport, at a guess of around 1000m.

Object Origin: north - Object Destination: north east - Moon Visible: yes Moon to the north about 80% waxing gibbous producing quite bright conditions amongst scattered clouds. - Moon Size Comparison: less than a quarter the size of the moon, twice the size of Venus when very bright. Planets Visible: Some stars visible through the cloud scattered above the object. - Weather Visibility: Clear, Pleasant, Cloudy, Calm Weather Comments: light scattered clouds with stars visible in open sky.

Other Experiences: 17th UFO observation in over 40 years.

1st, 2nd & 3rd sightings: the first 3 in the late 1960's looked like 707-type aircraft flying low behind the Gold Coast travelling south late at night, much lower than normal southbound from Brisbane airliners & travelling silently and brilliantly illuminated from within like acontinuous strobe light shining out of the pilot & passenger windows, my brother was with me when we observed them.

4th sighting: In about 1970 at dusk near Sydney I once saw a bright white light hovering in the sky a couple of hundred metres directly above a tugboat motoring north along & parallel to the coast & about five hundred metres out to sea. At first I thought that the bright white light was a flare but it just hovered at the same height & followed above the ship for five minutes.

Then in a completely cloudless sky I noticed a small round cloud 30 to 40 metres in diameter coming along by itself at the same altitude as the light but travelling north at a faster speed. The cloud caught up to the light & surrounded it so that the light could no longer be seen & then the cloud, which was only the same size as the tug boat, slowed down & continued to drift north above the boat until both moved out of view 15 t 20 minutes later.

5th sighting: In early 1970's I saw a star-like object behind the Gold Coast travelling north 11pm at night and as it passed overhead at about the normal level of aircraft and at the speed of a jet fighter, it was clearly undertaking a continuous falling-leaf zigzag motion side -to-side, which was only observable when it was directly overhead, other wise from a distance it just looked like a tiny wobble & there was no sound. My girlfriend was with me when we observed it.

6th sighting: was a reddish-white egg-shaped object travelling slowly north behind the Gold Coast below very dense cloud cover during a blackout on Sunday 15 January 1973 at 9-30 pm. Six friends were with me when we observed it. I have newspaper reports of that incident viewed by many people & will photocopy it for you.

7th & 8th sightings: were identical objects viewed each time through binoculars, a cigar-shaped object or disc with 3 elongated yellow-white lights along the side travelling south, low altitude, at dusk, at Townsville in January 1975 and then in February 1975 on Gold Coast, travelling north, low altitude, at dusk.

9th & 10th sightings: were on Sunshine Coast March 1975 at Eudlo 11pm at night, a dozen satellite-like objects following each other equally spaced a 6th of the sky apart travelling south with another dozen satellite-like objects following each other equally spaced a 6th of the sky apart travelling west and which perfectly intersected the south -bound craft in the centre of the sky. Not long afterwards 3 lights in perfect formation
travelled low overhead, could have been 3 helicopters but only a distant sound like a train in a distant tunnel was heard, about 35 of us saw these.

11th sighting: in 1984 saw a bright light travelling east over Tamborine
Mountain.

12th sighting: in 2002 saw a bright light travelling north over northern NSW at dusk, 2 other witnesses & I sent you a report on this list.

13th Sighting: A bright light star-like object dropping straight down from the sky through the clouds late at night on the Tweed Coast on my way back home from a UFO meeting in Brisbane.

14th Sighting: a bright amber star-like object low in the night sky above Byron Bay that I watched for 20 minutes & which I mistook for the planet Mars, disappeared when I went inside to tell others that they should look at how bright Mars had brightened. Mars came up a couple of hours later in the same spot but only half as bright.

15th Sighting: at midday on Wednesday, 3 September 2003 whilst stopped at a traffic light at the intersection of Marine Parade and Gold Coast Highway, Labrador, and looking out of my open driver's side window at the Broadwater on a cloudless day, with no other cars passing, my eyes were attracted to a bright light a couple of hundred metres away and about 50 metres above the water. It looked like the sun was reflecting off of a solid object such as a hovering aircraft which at first I thought must be a helicopter. As I gazed at the object, which was stationary, I realised that it was identical to the "scoutship" photographed by George Adamski on 13 December 1952. It was domed on top and with a flanging bell-shaped base.

I thought that it was probably just an illusion of the sun shining off the side of a helicopter when it suddenly vanished & I expected to see the dark shape of a known aircraft but there was nothing in the sky at all. It then occurred to me that there was also no sound of an aircraft such as a helicopter hovering over the water. I watched for a while but nothing reappeared.

16th sighting: at dusk from my home at Jones Road Wooyung, viewed for about 2 minutes in clear sky, a craft that revealed itself as 3 red lights in a horizontal plane flying north 1km off the Northern NSW coast directly above a commercial airliner on descent to Coolangatta Airport. The UFO remained exactly above the airliner, perhaps 100m at all times until they passed behind trees.

Sighting Duration: 1.5 minutes

Observation: At 9:24pm on the 21-3-2008, from my backyard (Bendigo- near the Tom Flood Oval) while watching a local helicopter go over (I was looking to the west), I observed 2 white lights similar to the light of a satellite, but moving in a direction from the north east to the south west, they were moving a bit faster than most satellite's I have seen, and they were along side each other, I watched them for about 1.5 mins, if not for the fact that one of them decided to do some random weaving (zig zag) movement - rapidly move away from the other and then return to its parallel flight path with the other a few times during the passing, I would have just wrote them off as satellite's, but I'm not aware of anything man made that moves like what I watched...at no time during or after was there any sound....there was nothing pulsing around them, no changing colors etc....just plain white like stars.

Description: there was nothing pulsing around them, no changing colors etc....just plain white like stars. Location: from my backyard (Bendigo- near the Tom Flood Oval) while watching a local helicopter go over I was looking to the west. Apparent Size: Star Altitude: Quite a few klms I think. Object Origin: North East.. Object Destination: South West. Moon Visible: Almost full moon, it was over further to the right. Moon Size Comparison: From where I was standing they were star size. Planets Visible: Plenty of stars (normal stars). Weather Visibility: Clear, Mild, Breezy. Effects Psychological: I still don't believe what i saw, but i can still see it in my mind clear as when it happened. Other Experiences: Never, not like that !.

Witness Name: John X
Number of witnesses present: 1
Sighting Duration: 10 Seconds

Observation: I was sitting on chair beside my new shed I'm building on my property in Central Dunolly I was taking a rest when this object the size of cricket ball cut a path through the hazy of cloud cover and flew past my field of view. I was facing south the bright cream/white ball came into view from the West and traveled East it was about 1000 feet up not much more. I have never seen anything like this before, I was pretty much a skeptic but I have had a few days to think about what I saw and this thing has rocked my foundation so to speak, changed my mind about UFOs because what it was was nothing like I have ever seen in my travels. In my younger years I was a high powered business consultant and traveled the world. I have talked with many pilots who say they have seen UFOs but are told not to talk about them. Those were the good old days when you could sit up with the pilots.

This thing scared the hell out of me and I don't scare easily thats why I reported it.


Description: No sound, the light wasn't very bright.


Apparent Size: Cricket Ball Altitude: 1000 feet - Object Origin: West Object Destination: Heading East. Weather: Clear but Hazy. Other Experiences: My wife said she saw a strange lights up high in the sky while out on the property.

Posted 24.03.08 Elsternwick Brighton, Australia
Elsternwick Brighton, Australia UFO Moved Quickly And Then Stopped

Date: About 2004-2005 Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.
Location of Sighting: In Elsternwick/Brighton, it came from east traveling to west towards Melbourne City way. Number of witnesses: 2 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: It looked round.

Full Description of event/sighting: It was a cold and clear night when I saw what I thought may have been a plane or helicopter. It was moving kind of in between fast and slow. I looked carefully and it happened to stop suddenly and it had heaps of different colour lights on it. It stayed there in that spot for about 30 seconds and the object quickly sped off at maybe 50 - 100kph towards over the golf course. It flashed colours of white, blue, red and green and it seemed to be in a spinning effect as it was flying. It then went over to he trees like searching for something and stayed there for about 5 minutes and then suddenly disappeared.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Location: In the rear carpark of Hospital

Observation: Saw a large, very bright white light with a greenish tinge and a red bright line in the front of it, moving south across the sky in a extremely fast motion. The light flickered, then faded and vanished in a very short period of time.

The light seemed too large and too close to be explained by a shooting star or meteorite. There was no sound and the light just disappeared. The light was moving too fast to have been an aeroplane. Can anyone please explain what this may have been? Description: See above. There were no changes of shape during the observation.

Apparent Size: It appeared larger than an aeroplane would at the altitude it appeared to be at. Actual Size: It looked to be larger than an aeroplane would at the altitude it appeared to be at. Altitude: It appeared to be at a higher altitude when we first saw it and looked to be losing altitude as we watched it move across the sky. Object Origin: It came from the North-West and moved South-East towards the city Object Destination: Don't know, it just vanished, as if someone turned off the light Weather: Clear, Cold, Calm, Light patchy cloud.
