One evening a few months ago (she could not remember the exact time or month) Leonie discovered a large opaque object on the "Gritchings’" drive way during her course of visit. I asked Leonie if the Gritchings (the next door neighbour that is) noticed the object or spoke about it. She said no. Very well! Leonie quickly returned to her story and continued.

Apparently she discovered a so called William Holburrow standing on top of the opaque object.

Who is William Holburrow? A friend of hers and a patient at the local psychiatric ward in Morraset. I asked her if Mr Holburrow told her about the experience. Her response was that William never talks!

On an additional note, Leonie explained how she met Mr Holburrow at the St Vincent Hospital in Sydney when she was working there in the psychiatric ward. She resigned when Mr Holburrow was transferred to Morraset. So she followed him up north where she got a part time job in a nursing home. Striking story! Yes but Mr Holburrow soon broke out of the ward and was found in a cemetery near Manly digging up a grave that had a dollar sign on it!

The story digresses. She then tells me that she has telepathic abilities and communicates with extra terrestrials. She told me that she recently invited the ETs over for a BBQ because "Jack" was coming over.

Who is Jack? Mr Holburrow’s nephew. I then asked her if the ETs turned up (I had to know)? Unfortunately not!

The conversation slowly comes to an end when Leonie tells me how she contacted the FBI in the United States about her experiences. Apparently they hung up on her when she asked if Jim Morrison was kept in a refrigerator in the US!

Ricky says he was swimming in his pool on Saturday night (Jimboomba, Qld) when he saw a circle of light in the sky, going clock wise then anti clock wise, no noise, he could not tell me what direction it was, or what size other than big. He then said there was 12 circles, his description was a bit vague, but he did say it was reflecting in clouds.

(Source: 1800 Freecall National Hotline Number - Callin Code: 1055 or 1057?)
The witness is know as Lloyd, a resident of Albion Park, who was a witness to an unusual event taking place on 9th December, 2000, at approximately 9:00 pm.

The witness was sitting outside his front porch observing the night sky when he noticed a brilliant light towards the north, traveling from east to west at a constant pace, similar to any commercial aircraft. What surprised him was when he saw the object split in two. According to the witness, the secondary object took a three second vertical fall to the ground. The witness suggested that the secondary object might have disappeared behind a distant escarpment and took off in an unknown direction.

The primary object continued its course for a short period (exact time not remembered) before disappearing into the clouds.

Comments:
This sighting occurred the same evening as callin code 001056 from Albion Park. There is no doubt that the object behaved in a peculiar way. However, military aircrafts from HMAS Albatross, Nowra, travel as far as Albion Park, according to the Albion Park aerial patrol. There is a possibility that the event was caused by a military aircraft dispatching a flare. However, early December 2000 was regarded as a high fire danger period. Doug Moffett AUFORN NSW

On Saturday 9th December 2000 at the precise time of 11.25 pm, Aaron was alerted by his mother when she witnessed something unusual. Aaron immediately joined his mother who was standing in the front yard. They were witnesses to three bright orange anomalies high above their residence, traveling from N-NW very slowly towards S at an equal distance (from the Great Dividing Range). The phenomena were described to be round like fog lights and at least 3 times brighter than the brightest star near the moon at the time.

It is worth mentioning that at that particular time the moon was nearly at full phase and the so-called brightest star near the moon at the time was actually the planet Jupiter at a stellar magnitude of 2-3. Therefore the anomalies magnitude would have been roughly between 7-8.

The two eyewitnesses watched the event for approximately 10-15 minutes. Aaron mentioned that he had a pair of binoculars and observed a fourth pulsating object approaching. It was identified as a conventional aircraft judging by its tail and wings. However the aircraft produced no noise, which may have been due to wind direction, or perhaps some form of military aircraft. As it approached, one of the anomalies abruptly disappeared. It’s fading or sudden loss of luminosity indicated to the witness that the object maneuvered in an upward direction. Shortly after the other two followed the same pattern.

The conventional craft then kept its course however still remaining within the field of view. Moments after the event, one of the objects reappeared. As he kept an eye on it he noticed that the anomaly was "jerking" left to right.

This effect may have been a result of an optical distortion or illusion. This effect is noted when one watches a small bright object in a dark surround, for a delayed period.

As the subject witness recalls, the aircraft still remained at a relatively consistent distance from the object. The anomaly reacted as before and disappeared unlike anything conventional. The aircraft continued its path and headed north.

Comments:
In the report filed by the witness, he indicated that the anomalies were heading N-NW. In the actual telephone conversation, he indicated a due S-SW direction. This may have been due to disorientation.

Aaron’s report is equally compared with the call in code 001052 from Albion Park and a number of other cases Phil and I have investigated. There is no indication from the witness that this may be hoax. There is nothing for him to gain by producing such misleading information. Again, his testimony is strengthened by the call in code 001052, which notably was reported on the same day.

Aaron indicated that he lives near a flight path and can differentiate between conventional and non-conventional aircrafts.

He also noted that sailing clouds at times covered the objects, indicating their high altitude.

The only apparent sound noticed during the observation was the surrounding ambient noise. No apparent odor was detected.

I will be contacting Albion Park airfield to confirm this case. Doug Moffett AUFORN NSW

On Thursday 14th December 2000 at about 9pm thought they saw a UFO. Mr X said his wife was very upset as it was over the area they live in, he said there was a circle of lights going clockwise and anti clockwise reflecting in the clouds. This lasted about a hour, then vanished, like someone turned the lights out.

Very loud humming noise 4am sunday morning. I asked Bob if he had heard and seen the Goodyear blimp as the thing he saw had a spotlight on the front of it and the shape was the same as the blimp.

Bob’s comment:
"No! Sorry. Nothing like that. Not at four in the morning." But he couldn’t be sure.?

The caller then told me he had come back from the dead several times and has been reincarnated many times. He had been reincarnation back from the dead of modern day disasters which had happened in the last 20 years. Diane Harrison AUFORN

On the morning of 20th December 2000, at approximately 5:20 am, Mrs Wright walked out to her balcony and discovered a "car tyre-like" anomaly hovering near her residence at a low altitude. She described the object as "snow white" and hollow or black in the center of the under section.

Mrs Wright watched the stationary phenomena for approximately five minutes when it changed form into a "horse shoe shape" and disappeared or dematerialized.

Comments:
Mrs Wright observed the anomaly at an unknown angle (judging by her description, the object may have been at a approximate 75 degree angle towards East from her residence).

She quoted: "In my 77 years I have never seen anything like it. I will never forget it until the day I die!"

There was no sound or odor produced by the phenomena. No other surface structures were noticed, only a plain clean appearance as described by the witness. The morning was after dawn, clear, hot with no apparent wind.

The subject also noted she did not know why she ventured out to the balcony. The witness tells me that she is never known to go there, especially in the early hours.

After the event, Mrs Wright contacted Channel seven who in turn gave her the 1800 number.

Conclusion:
Mrs Wright sounded quite genuine during the call. However, not knowing the subject’s medical situation or authenticity, I have no reason to believe that the call was a hoax. My assumptions have drawn the following conclusions:
1, The phenomena was a result of a so called temperature inversion, when light from the ground is reflected off a trapped layer of warm air above the much cooler night air below it.
2, CE1-as there is no conventional aircraft known to possess the sort of technology displayed by this anomaly. Doug Moffett AUFORN NSW

Objects: 5 star like lights
Colour: Red
Sound: Nil
Duration: 10 mins
Direction: travelling North towards One Tree Hill
Witnesses: Martin, his wife and children

Martin and his wife had just arrived home at 10.30pm after doing Xmas shopping.

As he was getting the gifts out of the boot of his car, he heard fireworks going off, so he looked towards where he had heard the sound, to see if he could see them. That is when Martin saw the 5 red star like lights close to the horizon.

He states that 4 of them were making an irregular ‘box formation’ with the 5th one just offside. He called out to his wife to bring his binoculars. He looked through them and they appeared to be like small bright dots, his wife also had a look and confirmed what he saw.

Whilst his wife was looking through the binoculars he ran inside to ring his sister who lived closed by to bring her video camera over and also to see if she could see anything in the night sky. He also called a few friends who lived close by to see if they saw anything.

During the time of him running backwards and forwards to the phone, to the front yard outside, his wife, who had been looking all that time through the binoculars said that she had seen the 5 star like lights move about in 2 formations as they were slowly moving away.

One of the formations was a ‘ V ‘ or triangle shape but laid down on its side and then the next formation they made was like an inverted ‘ C ‘.

Martin’s wife has drawn the patterns and he asked if I would like a copy of them, to which I replied "YES".

[Note: I am still waiting for them in the post, but I think this could be also due to the fact, that apart from contacting AUFORN re: the UFO Hotline, he had also contacted Colin Norris, and Colin had also requested a copy of the drawings.] Charmaine Ballam AUFORN SA

John reported a star-like object to the east, dropping down in three stages before jumping back to its original position. He watched it over a two hour period and said it moved from side to side as well as flashing various colours. (This could have been the bright star Capella.

QUEENSLAND (VARIOUS ABDUCTION EXPERIENCES)
(Source: 1800 Freecall National Hotline Number - Callin Code: 1034)
Elizabeth shared with me some of her experiences that have occurred since a child, Elizabeth sounds about 60+. She seemed very excited and talked extremely fast and disjointedly.

She had been visited by a small child who apparently had little hair. She said she kissed this child on the head and it ran away frightened etc. She stated that this child was a hybrid offspring of hers and she remembered being asked to donate ova and recalls a long needle being inserted into her abdomen.

She stated she had had many psychic experiences and memories of craft hovering over her house.

She seemed to have a particular hate for Whitley Strieber’s books and vented a bit about the content of his books and that it was all wrong etc. etc.

Elizabeth stated that she had had a psychotic attack over 10 years ago and was still on medication. She stated that I was welcome to visit her and look at her drawings she had made and that she was quite safe to be around. She then proceed to tell me about her bizare dreams from the previous night involving her doctor (and masturbation). AUFORN QLD

LATE 2000 PORT PIRIE, SA (NL)
(Source: 1800 Freecall National Hotline Number - Callin Code 2826)
Duration of sighting: 5 minutes
Lights colour: orange lights
Apparent size: large star
Shape: Star
Noise: No
Objects observed: 2
Activity when see: outside in his backyard
Other witnesses: No

Alec 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
