Ms P and partner Mr J witnessed and incredible event on the 1st June 2006 at 9.45pm. Ms P was sitting out on her verandah looking over the Ourimbah area, a suburb of the Central Coast, when she noticed what she first thought was a star.
The object seemed to be hovering and was showing colours of red, white and green. The object moved several times which then made Ms P call out to her partner to come onto the verandah and watch this object as well. Both viewed the object for at least 5 minutes and then called the local radio station to report the sighting. As no body really seemed to be interested in what she was saying, she then rang Telstra to get the phone number of their local police station. The lady she was talking to told her that the Police probably wouldn’t be interested and gave her the AUFORN 1800 number.
While both were still witnessing the event, Ms P rang the 1800 number hoping to talk to somebody straight away so she could report the event and hopefully get an answer. After leaving her details, she watched the event for at least another 5 minutes. She said the object moved from side to side several times, and a one stage, made a very quick acceleration which then made them both realise it was something out of the ordinary. Ms P, who is 51 years old and Mr J who is 58 and an industrial chemist, feels that what they witnessed may not have been in our Earth’s atmosphere as it did appear to be a fair distance away. Ms P explained that she has witnessed a few strange things in the sky before over the years, but her partner with his scientific background, has always had an explanation for what she had seen. However, this time he couldn’t explain the event and it was he who prompted Ms P to call somebody and report the sighting. Number of witnesses: 2. Kelly Pataky AUFORN NSW

Cheryl rang saying that together with two other witnesses, she saw us two orange balls in the sky somewhere between 10:30 and 11 at night. Thought they appeared at first to be stars, they started to move up and down and then went straight up and ascended through the atmosphere very quickly! “They were definitely in our atmosphere” she said. Cheryl has seen them a few times now, including an earlier sighting when she saw one the size of a basketball at arms length in the sky, “it was that close”. This object, as orange as the others she saw later, hovered at eye level. As she hurried in for binoculars for an even closer look, it vanished into thin air. This time, the sighting was around 3:00 am in the morning, occurring during a trip to the toilet.
Cheryl has lived in the district for around 15 years and has not seen anything like it before these two incidents separated by only a few months. The objects were viewed facing north. Number of witnesses: 3. Dominic McNamara AUFORN NSW

Witness saw blue, red, green and white light for 4 nights. Always around 10 to 10.30pm, in the south direction. Most likely the star canopus, as UFOs don't appear night after night at the same time in the same place. Number of Witnesses: 1. George Simpson AUFORN VIC

On Saturday evening at approximately 20.30hrs Wendy had just got home, as she was getting out of the vehicle she saw a large white object streak across the sky heading in a downward direction. She said it made no noise as it passed over. Because it was heading in a down ward direction she thought it might crash.
She got back into the car, thinking it may have crashed and went to look for it. She drove to Edgewood Lake (I think that is the name of the lake?). She got a surprise to see the surface of the lake on fire and the surrounding trees smoldering. She does not know whether the object that flew over caused the fire or not but found it all a bit strange.
Wendy did say there was an article in the local newspaper (Joondalup Community News paper). The article was about the fire around the lake. The article said it was a peat fire. I assume peat is the turf dug up for fueling fires.
NOTES: I have sent an email to the Community newspaper asking for the article as described by Wendy. I don’t know much about peat as a fuel as it is not very common in SA. I can understand the bush burning but I am curious what would cause the surface of the lake to burn. There would have to be some type of accelerant on the surface to cause it to burn. Wendy did not hear an impact so it properly a coincidence that the object flew over at the same time there was a fire on a lake near by. But it still would be interesting to find out what caused the fire on the lake and surrounding bush. Jeff Fausch AUFORN SA

Neil (a Fire-fighter) and his wife had arrived home at approximately 10:30 pm on the Sunday evening after an evening out without their children. Once they had parked their vehicle, Neil noticed an orange/gold coloured round object approximately 1 km west to northwest, looking out over the ocean at Glenelg South. Neil stated that the object appeared to be moving slowly in an upward motion although he was unsure of the actual speed of ascent. At first Neil thought that the object was a flare used by boats at sea, but thought this could not be the case as the object “did not die out” but kept rising into the air at the same pace until it could no longer be seen. The duration of the sighting lasted approximately 10 – 12 minutes in which time Neil, his wife and an unknown man walking down the street, had sighted it. Neil described the occurrence as strange due to the fact that it was an unusually quiet night, no noise could be heard emanating from the object and no smoke or sparks could be seen. If it were an aircraft, no navigation lights or strobe lights were present. Neil’s mother in law reported of hearing other witnesses through listening to her local radio station.

All objects travelling away, sequence of shots until all disappear, northbound, clear cold night. All objects (15 in total)were very a bright red-yellow colour, with a strong glow obvious as power /energy being used to fly. They were initially seen in a line formation, uneven, slanting to the right, then they folded into a group , as if following the same route away from the city, as they crossed over each other, presumably following each-other, there was a bright flash where two appeared to cross over.
"I took the photo, but only caught the last bit of it, Total time observed about 2 minutes, from first photo to last. Reason I saw them then, was that my dog had asked to go out, I first saw them through trees, then ran inside got my Fuji S5500, 10x optical camera digital, so lots of pixels, ran back out and over 50m to get some clearer shots , all on auto settings, two have some zoom but I backed off in case it didn't catch the detail well eg, I know the normal settings work
There was no sound, there should have been. there appear to be two which have a sort of sphere between the bright parts, and it is possible that they have shape, from the placing of each object, in my opinion. it is possible that they are reflections in the atmosphere from roads and cars, however, this does not relate well to the road routes or traffic at that time of night,nor the clear atmosphere, with no clouds to bounce off, there are stars in the background, appearing as white light in the photos...initially, they were all spread out, and much higher above, but a long way up. My initial reaction was aircraft, maybe jets, my fear was that they were rockets, but they had colour that i would usually relate to as a cold yellow flame,except it had a strength almost to white light about it. They were different. meteor shower? could not have grouped and disappeared like that, they had angular movement patterns, sharp turns, it is possible that they flew out of the atmosphere that i could see,maybe coming together from distance, very quick, faster than aircraft which would have had sound, even delayed. Anyway, let the photos speak for themselves, any suggestions as to whatever gratefully accepted if plausible." Adrian Ross (Independent Investigator ACT)
