Observation: I was asleep in bed, my 2 year old daughter was next to me. the curtains were drawn (only medium weight cotton). I was woken by yellow flashing light outside shining on the wall of the bed room, the light was moving and very bright. I thought there must be some emergency equipment on the nearby train line but could not work out how the light was reflecting on the wall when there was a house in between the train line and us. Then the light became a very extremely bright light. the light was so bright that inside the bedroom was a bright as day light. As bright as day light on a very bright day, outside, not inside. it was unbelievably bright. I thought a police helicopter must be shining a search light into the garden right next to the window, but then I realised there was no sound what so ever. I was really scared, so scared I could not move at all, i was paralyzed but I don't know if from my own fear or really paralyzed. But it was a strong paralysis because I wanted to protect my daughter but could not move. I was thinking, "if I don't move they wont know I am here" Then the light became weaker, about half strength. I was confused, because now it looked like it was normal day light outside.
I was thinking, how is it daylight i thought it was night time, and how bright was that light if it was brighter than daylight, after about a minute or so this daylight level of light faded as if on a dimmer switch and was gone, it was completely dark outside again. There was no sound what so ever, I looked and checked my daughter was Ok, she was. Do you know anything about this, what it was? Carolyn.
Description: Did not look because I was too scared to move, lights as described above, no sound, too quiet, also could not work out why all the dogs were no barking, normally the dogs of the neighbourhood would bark at anything unusual. - Weather Visibility: Clear. - Effects Physical: paralyzed, with fear? - Effects Psychological: fear, confusion
Other Experiences: I saw 3 UFOs one time, flying above the sky in my own garden, it deserves another entire report of its own.
2000 SYDNEY (EARLWOOD), NSW (CE1)
E-mail UFO Report, reported January 2007
In the summer of 2000, Jason and his cousin were in Beaman Park, Earlwood, when a UFO shaped like a house flew by for thirty seconds at a very low altitude. It was dark until it passed in front of some clouds and then appeared “clear as a bell”. It was an “odd shape” with a probe light leading the ship. His cousin considered the experience “bad”, reducing him to “mumbling, crying and denial”.

A 71-year-old retiree had a 10-minute sighting from 7.30pm. Several white hexagonal objects were seen from the sightees Cumberland Park home. The objects disappeared for approximately five minutes and were seen again almost directly above. The objects had gained altitude and were no longer as bright as a result. The sightee telephoned his son and daughter during the sighting but they were unable to see the objects from their location. The small circles on the sketch represent the lights seen.

Name: Alec
Alec, aged 49, was outside in his backyard late one evening when he noticed two bright orange star like objects moving towards him from the north. He watched them pass over Port Pirie silently and slowly, moving south and away from the town. He thought they may have been aircraft, but had never seen aircraft with one orange light. What changed his mind was; they both suddenly turned right on an acute angle heading east. He said he had seen many planes bank left or right but that this was a very sharp turn. Very unlike an aircraft. He has thought about this incident often and finally decided to report it. Debbie Payne AUFORN SA

Sunday night the 2nd Jan at approx 9.30pm, after falling asleep in his chair, Peter woke up and went Outside to feed his dogs. As it was such a nice night he decided to relax for a while and do a bit of stargazing, which he very often does late at night. After approx half an hour, he looked up and noticed a large, solid black V shaped object with dim orange lights which were situated along the front end of the object. Peter said it was a very clear night and he first noticed the object because it was blocking out the Big Dipper constelation he had been looking at previously. There was no sound emitted from the object at all and Peter estimates that it must have been at least 5 times bigger than a Jumbo Jet. He sighted the object for only 3-4 seconds when Peter says it just disappeared from view.

(Source: 1800 Freecall National Hotline Number - Callin Code: 0459)
John from Caversham states that he had a front on view of the object and believes it to be a type of interstellar craft that was "out of control" in our atmosphere. John claims the object was travelling from a South Easterly direction. He described the fiery glow of the meteorite as "magnesium green" and claims to have seen pieces falling away from the main body of the object. He believes that these pieces may have been responsible for a number of fires along the possible flight path of the object.
John claims to have witnessed a plane on final approach to Perth airport abort it’s landing and go round as a result of the close proximity of the meteorite. He also claims that there was aerial activity at Pearce RAAF base, North of Perth at the time of the sighting, saying that he heard a number of military aircraft airborne at the time. Pearce denies having any aircraft aloft at this time.
John says that the meteorite vanished abruptly in mid flight having just passed overhead. He cites self destruction or dematerialisation as possible reasons for the sudden disappearance.
The Perth Observatory took a number of calls regarding the meteorite on Monday but due to the conflicting nature of the calls have been unable to determine an exact flight path (no-one at the observatory saw the meteor) but confirmed that the majority of reports described a bright green fireball.
This case is still being investigated, will forward anything else that comes to light, how ever at this stage I am prepared to say that the sightings seem to relate to natural phenomenon. Andrew Rigg AUFORN WA

Reports came from far and wide on the morning of Monday 3 January 2000 of an unusual green light seen travelling across the skies of Western Australia.
Dave from Yarloop, 120km’s south of Perth reported a "green flare like object" travelling West to East at approximately 9pm on Sunday night (2/1/00). A police officer stationed at Yarloop also sighted the same object and described it as a bright shooting star.
Sightings were also made at Biningup Beach, Harvey, and across the Perth metropolitan area at around the same time indicating the object was travelling at an extremely high speed. Andrew Rigg AUFORN WA

On the night of Friday 7.1.2000, the witness sighted 7 pulsating white lights travelling from S/E to N across the sky. He also observed what he describes as 3 laser type streams of light in the sky also. He said the objects moved across the sky very fast, faster than he has seen a high altitude plane travelling at, he could not judge the size of the objects, but they looked to be the same size and shape of a star. He, and another witness, his brother, observed these lights for approximately 1 hour when all of a sudden they shot up into the stars and were lost to view. Alice Mitchel AUFORN VIC

Mrs H was the first to observe the objects, she later called her husband and daughter. She noticed one very bright orange object moving slowly, then upon closer scrutiny saw two other objects travelling in formation across the sky. Two of the objects were travelling one above the other, with the third below and slightly behind the other two. They kept this formation for the duration of the sighting. The distance between the objects was approximated to be four fingers at arms length. The lowest of the objects was very low on the horizon and may not have been visible to those with limited low horizon views. Mrs H walked slowly around the swimming pool in order to keep the objects in sight, indicating that they were indeed travelling faster than a planet. The objects were much more orange than Mars, were not twinkling and appeared high, like a satellite or star.
The objects were seen at approximately 8pm. There was very little cloud that night and none in the direction of where the objects were seen and there was a crescent Moon. The object was lost to view behind trees but also appeared to be moving into the far distance. Neither Mrs H or her husband were concerned about the sighting although their daughter admitted to being ‘freaked’. Mr H works with satellites in his profession as a remote sensing geologist and is quite familiar as to how they should look and act.
In my investigation of the incident I spoke to East Services who radar track the Sydney Metro Area and they informed me no unusual air traffic was reported at that time..including the Goodyear Blimp. ABC Radio News had not received any reports and neither had Gordon Police Station. Sydney observatory likewise had not received any reports but did suggest that the Mir space station was in orbit decay and was ‘rolling’ , causing it to flash as it rolled..which may explain some future sighting - but not this one. Sydney observatory also informed me that once every 11 years the Earth is closest to the sun..increasing the aurora activity at the poles, and that it might be possible for those as far North as Southern NSW or even perhaps Sydney to witness some of the auroral activity. Once again food for thought for future sightings. Doug Moffett AUFORN NSW

Jill was Sitting in lounge after ironing for 3 hours, decided to watch TV (had fan on - very hot). Baby was asleep behind me. All of a sudden a Thick White Cloud walked ‘THROUGH’ the fly screen door, across the kitchen, into the living room, was in front of the TV (couldn’t see TV - Cloud was very thick) then went to the wall near the TV and faded. Noticed out in back yard looking through the screen door and some shade cloth on the deck that there was a large triangular shaped object with a red arrow head looking thing on it. The Cloud/Mist had no shape to it other than it was approximately 4 feet square in total size.
Since the incident, approx 2 nights later someone/thing taped Jill on the ankle (this has happened before in a previous residence). Jill woke up startled and saw a VISION of her mother having a heart attack and was quite disturbed because she had a feeling that she might be passing away soon. Jill has just come back from spending 2 weeks with her mum and she is actually ok.
However, 4 years ago her Brother died of cancer, they spoke of the afterlife and Jill mentioned after he passes away he might like to and visit!
Since her brother has passed away there has been pedestal fans hovering in mid air and falling over, photos flying off walls and shelves (mainly of mother - brother didn’t get on with his mother), baby bottles doing somersaults in mid air. Her other young daughter has also had the tapping on an ankle and blankets moving strangely around on top of her.

Jim reports sighting an orange light in the sky over Redcliffe two Saturday nights ago (15 January) at 8.30pm. Working in the aviation industry, Jim is familiar with aircrafts and the usual characteristics of landing and taking off and the lights used etc. When a plane is coming into land they will turn on their landing lights, this was not the case.
Not having seen anything like this before, Jim was curious if anyone else had seen it and telephoned the radio stations, local papers and airport - nothing had been reported at that time.
Description as follows:
Orange ball of light the size of your small finger nail was moving inbound (i.e. north from Brisbane). First thinking it was an airplane coming into Redcliffe aerodrome, he watched it but was curious of the orange colour. The orange ball of light was moving slowly when it stopped and another orange ball (identical in colour) shot down from the first, this was repeated twice more. The light/s were not "flares" or "pyrotechnics" falling downward.
Jim estimated it travelled 1km in 8 secs before stopping. Last thought was it might be a balloon, until it shoot off in a westward direction moving quickly where it disappeared from view. Rita Robb AUFORN QLD

Mrs Bowe , husband and 6 friends were sitting outside when they witnessed a star like object that came from the North and heading South . The object came toward them before possibly zig zagging and heading straight up into space before being lost to the sight of the witnesses. A second object came 5 to 10 minutes later and followed the same pattern. The 2nd object followed a path parallel but not exact to the first. The object did appear to get a little brighter as it approached but the witnesses claimed it was very high and very bright and got smaller as it went away. The object was like a flame and displayed a definite change of direction. Doug Moffett AUFORN NSW

Pat, a very well spoken, educated, older lady was staying at the Discovery Beach Resort on the Sunshine Coast (used to be the old Surf Air) on Friday night, 28th January 2000. Her room overlooked the ocean and the hotel was right on the beach.
At about 3.45am on Saturday Morning (29th) Pat woke up from a restless night, (Pat does have trouble sleeping) and saw a very bright light shining through the window of her room, Pat got out of bed and looked out the window and saw this light which Pat describes as 500 times that of a fluorescent light. She was looking out to the East over the ocean, Pat says there is a very small uninhabited island about half a mile out to sea from the resort called MUDJIMBA ISLAND, and the light was just above this Island about 2,000-3,000 feet up and slightly to the North of the Island. The light stayed in the same position and after about a hour. Pat noticed a shape, rectangle, with a reddish cone tail end. Then some little flashes of light came out the cone looking tail. Pat sat at the window watching this light until 5.10am when it started to move upwards and disappeared.
Pat says she has never seen anything like it before, and would like to know what it was? She has never thought about UFO’s before but it has now made her think about it and want to know more. She is familiar with the stars and says it was not a star. Jan Stone AUFORN QLD

(Source: JOURNAL OF ALTERNATIVE REALITIES, The Australasian Society for Psychical Research Inc, Volume 8, Issue 1, 2000)
Steven was at the Lakeside Resort on security duty. He watched a very bright orange light approach Kununurra from the north-west. He described it as "like an incandescent street lamp." It travelled very fast and was about the size of a Australian two dollar coin (20mm) at arm’s length. The object slowed down and stopped north-west of Kununurra. It appeared to be enveloped in a sparkling substance. Burning, bright orange/red stuff was falling straight down from the object, like wax from a candle. The object slowly rotated and the witness noticed a darker central area on what appeared to be a sphere. After about a minute the sphere moved to the right (north-east) and then headed east-south-east and was lost from view. Apparently the same or similar object was seen in the same area in the early hours of Saturday 15 January, also shedding burning debris, and around Christmas time was reported twice at 11pm and 2am when it split in two and flew in opposite directions.
