A 51-year-old housewife spotted a comet shaped object north of Auburn at 5:20 on 2 June. The orange/pink object looked like a comet, complete with a tail but behaved differently. It was moving south to southwest toward the horizon but it changed to have a black strip in the middle of it. The sightee and her husband returned to their home rather than wait for the object to disappear.

A 44-year-old sales representative along with 2 witnesses sighted 4 objects that were bright fluorescent classic saucer shapes. When the objects moved they changed to a large distorted oblong shape. The objects came to the sightee’s attention, as they were quite prominent in the perfectly clear sky at sunrise. "The first two objects noticed were stationary with quite some distance apart. One appeared closer with the other further away. After 10 minutes, they both moved downwards simultaneously leaving a pencil thin trail behind. They became larger and distorted as they moved then remained stationary, as they remained hovering a lot lower than when I first noticed them. They both remained equal distance apart and both titled at the same angle. I then noticed a second two objects some distance away to the right. They were moving parallel with each other a lot closer to the horizon they moved both at the same down towards the horizon keeping equal distance apart. They kept on moving to the right south east at varying speeds with a varying vapour like trail. They also seemed to appear larger and distort depending on speed." A solitary object was sighted approximately the same time the following morning.

Rick Webb, Forklift Driver of Elizabeth North saw 4 disc shaped objects on 26 June from 4:30pm for 15-20 minutes. The black objects had a silver underbelly and appeared to be about 2-3 miles away in a southerly direction. "First I was wondering what was flying in formation and when they turned up I could see clearly they were discs. I called my wife and sister but they did not come out until I called a second time. My sister in law picked them up straight away and watched with me until they seemed to come together and fade away. When they came together the size did not increase. I know what I saw and I am convinced on what I saw. I was also very excited about what I saw." The 37-year-old stated.

Mrs Cheryl was closing the bedroom window when she noticed an orange light appear over the headland on the beach front. While she was watching, a second, then a third similar orange light appeared. This triangle formation slowly moved south towards Coffs Harbour and remained parallel to the coast until out of sight. Constant altitude and slow steady speed while maintaining the same formation had her puzzled, especially since there was no sound.

A couple of minutes later, another triangle formation of three orange lights came over the headland. and headed in the same direction as the first three.

Than just before 12.30am, another four orange lights appeared from the same area over the headland. The fourth light lagged behind the others.

From her high viewing position, she says that they were definitely not launched from the beach or headland, they originated out to sea some distance from land.

Next morning, she rang the Police and Radio station who both had not received any other calls about the objects, and did not wish to pursue the event. Mrs. R then contacted the local Advocate newspaper and convoyed her sighting to the journalist. No media report was forth coming.

Two weeks later, the Campbell town (Sydney) Television News story was aired showing a formation of similar orange objects caught on video by a local resident.

Mrs. R commented, after reading about the recent six fishermen videoing an orange object off Coffs Harbour, that quote; ‘It may be fishermen letting them off from trawlers out to sea, and took video of them as a joke’. end quote. Mike Farrell UFORNSW
