Brendan was sitting on the verandah having a smoke on the night of 6th November at Bundamba (Qld). It was around 10pm that he and his girl friend saw a light in the sky that did a 90 degree turn. It was a white light with a blue bottom. It made a rumbling noise.
Height about 500 mtrs.
Size 50 cents
Direction from south to north.
There was a storm in progress at this time. On talking to him further I discovered he had many experiences. He had worked at a Power Station and told me about power surges every time strange lights appeared in the sky. He also told about seeing a light traveling under water at Wyvenhoe Dam. while he and his mate was night fishing. I made arrangements for Diane, Rob and myself to go and talk to him in person, but on the night we was due to go, Diane phoned him to confirm and he had forgotten, we are still waiting for him to get back to us.

Peter and his wife and children were traveling home along the Warrego HWY at aprox 8.05pm then turned right onto the Brisbane Valley HWY . When five minutes later traveling north bound and coming over a rise in the road they noticed what looked like a very bright white light just above a yellow street light at approximately 500 meters away.
Peter said: My wife Linda was driving the children were in the back seat I was in the front passenger seat. Peter said: I told Linda to slow down because the light was now over the whole road. At first we thought my god a bloody plane is going to land on the road.
I told Linda to pull over to the side of the road incase this thing was going to land on the road. I could see 2 other cars parked on the opposite side of the road facing south. And other 2 cars pulled up behind us. We saw 2 men standing out of their car looking up at this.. what I can only describe as a space craft there was no mistaking it for anything else.
We Live on the flight path of Amberley Airforce base and I know what come’s and goes from there and this was nothing like I had ever seen before in all the 8 years of living in the area.
Peter Said: I hung almost all of my body out of the passenger window trying to get a the better look and I have to be honest I was scared to death at what I was looking at. I thought if I looked at it through the passenger side window if it did anything at least I was in the car and my wife could put her foot down and try and get away from it.
The craft was rectangular and box shaped with what looked like another rectangular compartment on top of it. The top part had what looked like round lights or portholes gold- orange and blue in colour. The only way to really compare the size of it for me it looked as big as the Hovercraft in the UK that carries cars and stuff across the English channel with a cabin on top of it. This thing had no propellers no sound and when we went under it, it had red lights at each corner of its underbelly.
It was dark metallic in colour. It had a big spot light beam coming from the top of it. This light was stronger than any search light or truck spot light I have ever seen. Linda said my god Peter its a spaceship" what do we do".
I told Linda don’t stop the engine, Linda was getting really scared and started shouting "we have to go". Linda started to shout louder when suddenly the craft moved to the left in a split second and just hovered again off to the side of the road above the trees over an open paddock.
A car came from behind us just as we went to pull out. It had all its spot light’s on high beam it was a four wheel drive. I guess the diver thought as we did it was a plane coming into land on the road. Linda and I got really scared for the kids and Linda started shouting again "lets go". So we took off down the road and turned left heading cross country to Lowood to get home. Linda was driving and I was watching the craft out the back window while Linda drove as fast has she could on the winding road.
The road we were traveling on climbs up hill so it was easier to see the craft. I was keeping an eye on it in case it decided to come after us. Then all of a sudden this spot light beam hit me right in the face lighting up the whole of the car. By now Linda was hysterical and I was shit scared thinking this thing is going to come after us.
Comment: This case is under investigation has we feel Peter and Linda are sincere and have nothing to gain from making this up.
AUFORN contacted the Local newspaper the Queensland Times asking for the other witnesses to come forward to verify the sighting. That same day of running the story in the newspaper 16th 11 2000 we received calls on our UFO Hotline from 3 other independent witnesses that saw what Peter and Linda saw that night. Another witness said he has the craft on video he said "it’s not really clear but its good and you can see the beam of light shoot out and down to the ground".
The witnesses in the parked car’s are yet to contact us.
Amberley Airforce Base was contacted but had nothing to report.
We will keep you informed of the outcome. This case sounds like its going to be a good one. Diane Harrison AUFORN, Robert Frola AUFORN, Jan Stone AUFORN QLD

Looks like this is an advertising thing...car yards using a truck with searchlights on the back..these rotate and scan the sky...they pick nights when there is low cloud...most people are familiar with these..however some are not. Cathy said to me that she has realised (by herself) that she was seeing searchlights...she expected to be able to see a beam and couldn’t..therefore thought something was odd...therefore phoned the hotline.

Brian and his wife Moira observed a very bright light out near the bay. The light was stationary, white in colour but about four times the size and brightness of the southern cross. There was no apparent sound and the light was observed for about 15 seconds. AUFORN QLD

Witness: Boyfriend & 2 other people
Sound: None
Kirsty and her boyfriend Brad observed a group of very bright lights in a stationary formation in the sky. The lights very a very bright white and about three times the size of Jupiter. The lights flashed red and blue alternately. Three of the lights were in the formation of a perfect triangle with a further two lights directly east of them. The light on the top of the triangle was the brightest of them all (main craft?). Kirsty and two neighbours observed the lights were there for approximately 1 1/2 hours.
I asked Kirsty to keep a eye out over the following nights, and if she saw anything could she endeavour to capture it on video or film. Kirsty had never believed in UFO’s but I think she’s changed her mind, as she has seen satellites but this was something totally different! AUFORN QLD

I rang Laurel, and after speaking with her, and getting her description of where it was located in the night sky, time she saw it etc, I realised that what she had seen was the new International Space Station.
How I drew my conclusion:- I also seen this ‘bright light’ in the sky the night before, and had heard that we here in Australia would be able to see the new International Space Station [ISS]. So, I did some further checking at the NASA website, and followed their links to their info on the ISS. NASA also had a map of the world showing the ‘best zones’ where the ISS could be spotted at night, at what time, what angle/degree etc and Adelaide was clearly showing in its path.
Also, a friend at work had said she had seen a ‘bright light’ in the night sky the same night as me, as she was out walking her dog.
Another thing I noticed, that when seeing the ISS, that Venus was also close by it. Laurel was happy with my explanation. Charmaine Ballam AUFORN SA

Christine said the light was about 3 inches long, and did not move, it was wide across, about the height of a star only much bigger and brighter. It did not move. Then a cloud passed below it and when the cloud cleared it had disappeared. She was unable to tell me in which direction it was. Christine says she has seen many strange lights in the sky in the past. Jan Stone AUFORN QLD
