(Australian UFO Research Association.) 27 Mar 2004 Templers nr Gawler SA 2015hrs A witness reported that an object flashed across intersection at the top of a small rise from east to west.  It lit up the top of the trees, but the glow from it did not reach the road.  Object appeared to be about 20m of the ground, judging by the height of the trees. There was no sound from the object.  It seemed to be round like a ball, glowing white like phosphorescence.  There was a crescent moon in the sky, and the object seemed to be about the size of a fully risen full moon. (Australian UFO Research Association.) 25 Apr 2004 Salisbury SA 2030hrs 2wits NL/IFO A female pharmacy assistant was at home on the phone top a friend when her husband came into the kitchen and asked if she would like to see a UFO?  They went out into their back yard.  The sky was very cloudy and by this time of night it was dark.  There were no stars or Moon visible. Then she saw a cluster of white lights in a circle which appeared just above the clouds at tree top height.  Then there was a second larger circle of white lights flashing around the cluster and finally a larger circle of white lights around the other two, this was also flashing and rotating.  The angular size was quite large.  Seen for 2-3 minutes.  There was no sound. A check with the Australian UFO Research Association revealed that there had been at least one other call about a very similar sighting.  An AURA investigator living at Elizabeth South went outside at the time of this other call from a member of the public.  The investigator reported seeing revolving circles of white lights in the night sky.  It was later ascertained that the cause of the sighting was a man made light display as part of some event around the City.  It is therefore highly likely that Mr and Mrs M's observation was caused by a man made light display. 27 April 2004 2000hrs Yakka near Clare SA 4 wits NL While driving home Russell saw four very intense round orange (amber) lights in a row approx.  300 ft off the ground.  He said they looked about 2 feet in diameter at that height.  The lights were spaced equidistantly in a straight line and were travelling at a fair speed from the left hand side field of vision towards the right. When he reached town some minutes later he pulled over and the lights were now directly overhead.  They proceeded to change formation in unison to form a lop-sided square (diamond shape).  This was all done at a constant speed and altitude.  The movement seemed regulated according to Russell.  As the objects moved further away they formed back into a straight line.  Then the last one in the formation broke away and headed off at a rapid speed towards the coast.  The remaining 3 objects banked right at a constant speed but gained altitude.  The two either side of the centre one then took off at a greatly accelerated rate of knots and disappeared.  There was no sound at all. (Australian UFO Research Association) Late July 2004 Near Murray Bridge SA Ca (0400-0500hrs) Multi wits Photo Several young people saw and videtaped a number of objects during the early hours of the morning from a house boat on the River Murray. • At 0400hrs first sighted an orange/silver light to the South.  This light was not Venus and was about 4 times the size of an average star.  It moved around more than scintillation or autokinesis effects would make a star do • The there was the video sequence of the lights across the river at ground level.  This witness thought these lights were in fact associated with a building and not a UFO • Lastly, and this was not on the video, a light similar to a satellite travelled across the whole sky in 30 seconds at about 0435hrs 23 September & 14 October 2004 Highbury Adelaide SA 0030hrs 1F Melissa W.
