(Source: 1800 Freecall National Hotline Number-Callin Code 2845)
Duration of sighting: 1-2 seconds
Lights colour: no lights
Apparent size: About the size of a car
Shape: Knob or helmet shaped object with one or two occupants
Noise: silent
Objects observed: 1
Activity when see: Painting Roof
Other witnesses: none

James is an artist who lives in Kings Cross. He was painting on the rooftop of his apartment block when he ‘felt’ something watching him. Looking up, he saw a metallic ‘knob’ or ‘helmet’ shaped object, about the size of a car, hovering directly above him. He could "see" one occupant, a "cloaked" figure, although the object had no windows; this "seeing" was more a feeling, and James was in fact sure there where two such figures in the object although he could only "see" one. The object vanished after about one or two seconds, James thinks in response to his looking up at it. There was no suggestion that it went anywhere, it just instantly disappeared.

James had no active interest in UFOs or the paranormal before the incident. Afterwards he consulted a book he had about UFOs where he found some photos that where similar to the object he saw, and from where he may have found the terms "knob-like" and "helmet-like". He was not disturbed by the incident, and reported it because he felt it should be reported.

He knows of no other witnesses but wonders if people in nearby apartments saw it too. Ralph Bergmann AUFORN NSW

Duration: 5-6 minutes

Shape: First - like a large star - cigar shaped ( rectangular)
Noise: No discernible noise
Object: 3
Activity when seen: out jogging
Other witnesses: No

Curtis, a very articulate young man explained that he was jogging later than he usually does (he had a ‘feeling’ to go later rather than at his usual time around 5:30p.m) when he observed the lights in the sky. He noticed that other people had stopped what they were doing and were also watching the activity. He didn’t speak with them, as he wanted to jog home faster and get his camera and film the activity. He said he became ‘tingly’ when he felt the craft were following him. He said that he ‘had a feeling they were really watching me’ and ‘that they were really following me’ He also got the impression that ‘they really wanted him to see them’. He is unsure what made him change his jogging routine on that day, just that he ‘had to’. There were planes flying that night in the same vicinity and Curtis assured me that they would have seen ‘something’, The planes were higher than the craft. As Curtis jogged downhill on his way home, the trees obscured his view and he lost sight of the craft. He did return later to film, but saw nothing.

This reportee told me that because he had seen this activity on at least several occasions (with other witnesses) that he was sure that he was meant to see ‘them’. He had sighted something similar in Huntingdale (a suburb of Perth) ‘heaps of times’ and on one occasion witnessed the craft with three lights change from a rectangle into a right-angled vehicle making it triangular.

Curtis is keen on followup, and is very happy to hear from anyone who would like to hear ‘straight from the horses mouth’ about what he saw and how he felt . He feels that this is a spiritual experience and is super keen to learn more about the phenomena. Tracy Jackson AUFORN WA

Activity when seen: Out filming Alcoa Smelter Tower
Other witnesses: Wife
It was a pleasure to speak with this reportee regarding his experience. He was amazed that at his age, there was ‘still so much to see and learn’. On this Friday night, Mr W was watching a video with his wife Marion. He was very unsettled and restless that evening (for no apparent reason) and so he decided to take his Panasonic Video recorder outside, to shoot footage of the Alcoa Smelter Tower that he is able to see from his residence. He turned the video camera on and pointed it to the sky and saw a very clear night sky, but as soon as he tried to film East (where Alcoa is situated) the screen turned white. He moved the camera around, and it was ok, but again, as soon as he tried to film east the camera screen turned white. He was very concerned that his video cam was ‘out of order’ and put it down. As he tried to logically think why the cam-corder didn’t work in that direction, the ‘button craft’ expelled the smaller craft and he cried for his wife Marion to ‘come take a look at this’. Marion sighted the activity as well and they watched the smaller craft ‘zoom around’ for a couple of minutes and then join several other small craft which at this stage were just hovering. Mr & Mrs W the saw the larger craft start to move slowly, then speed off at a phenomenal rate, and they both decided to go back indoors. On speaking with Mr W today (23/2/03) he is unsure why he didn’t watch what happened to the smaller craft – he just ‘felt’ he should now go inside.

He did share a story with me which he believes is related to the previous day’s episode. Mr W was watching TV on the 22nd February the day after the sighting when he saw a picture of his wife Marion on the actual TV screen staring at him. He couldn’t believe what he saw, as he said "she was on the telly’. He tried to work out logically how reflections work, but noticed that his wife wasn’t even wearing the same clothes. He didn’t mention to her about the clothes, until later when Mrs W was getting dressed to go to Mahjong that she put on exactly the same clothes that he had seen earlier in the day on the TV screen. He said it was like a pre recognitive thing ‘ de ja vu’ almost, but to the bursting point!
He also said that he felt that he felt the sighting was too much for his brain to absorb and that’s probable why he went inside. He then shared his sighting experience with a ‘chap that’s right into astronomy’ and he told me to report the sighting. ‘I didn’t even know there were such things’ he said. Tracy Jackson AUFORN WA

Tony was in Maroochydore and was walking on the beach with his partner. The time was around 8.30pm. They were looking up at the stars when all of a sudden they saw a V Shape UFO sort of like a Bow (as in Bow and Arrow )Tony said. There was no noise, it appeared from no where, like one second it was there and about four seconds it was gone. Its was very large Tony claims about 1klm Wide. He said it was about 150 ft in the air and it was over the ocean in the East. It was grey in colour and had three white lights one each side and one in the middle. The sighing only lasted about four second and it just vanished. As if clocked, Tony was staying at the caravan park for the week-end and on the walk back from the beach about 10 minutes away from the beach, all of a sudden he looked back and saw a V shape light coming straight at him but it was very small about 4ft wide. It just kept coming at him and as it got about 2ft in front of him it just vanished. I have asked Tony if he would be interested in coming to our UFO public meeting to share his experience with others, he is going to think about it. Jan Stone AUFORN QLD

After Chris reported his initial sighting on Tuesday Febuary 11th. he has been watching the sky hoping to see it again. On Wednsday morning Febuary 26th at 6am Chris went out onto his balcony at Brighton le Sands to smoke a cigarette. It was morning twilight, the sun had not yet risen and the stars were still visible in the sky. He looked up to the area of sky where he had previously seen the light object and suddenly it appeared again out of nowhere. It moved forward in a zig zagging motion and then disappeared before his eyes. He called out to his girlfriend who joined him on the balcony. As they both scanned the sky it suddenly appeared again in the same spot, moved forward in a zig zagging motion again and then suddenly disappeared like switching a light off. The sighting lasted approximatly 10 to 30 seconds. Chris is an avid sky watcher, he has seen satellites and meteorite showers and is adamant that what he saw was different. Larraine Cilia UFOSWS
