Martin was out on the balcony on the upper level of his Mascot home at 5.00 am on 14 May 2006 when he noticed a light in the northern sky. He then watched another light appear away to the left (north-northwest) followed by a third to the right (north-northeast). Martin said they had the appearance of stars but that each was brighter than normal starlight. The lights were zigzagging at incredible speed and Martin called to his fiancée to confirm he wasn’t seeing things. Then, appearing from nowhere in the middle of the sky, was a light “a quarter the size of the moon”. The other lights seemed to move around the larger object as they hung in the sky. Martin and his flatmates watched the scene for about half an hour. He said that the large object was roughly halfway between a square and a triangle. There was no sound. The sighting lasted about half an hour but that the objects were gone in seconds when the witnesses turned their backs for long enough to move inside and then back out onto the balcony. Martin has worked in aviation but has never seen the likes of such things. Dominic McNamara AUFORN NSW

On 16 May 2006 Jay’s wife was driving them home from the train around 6.20 pm, along Spitfire Avenue, Strathpine. They were travelling north when they saw a very bright light travel east to west. It was about 60-degrees from the horizon and it travelled very quickly and was “very horizontal”. It almost looked like fireworks being shot directly horizontally, but it didn’t explode, it just disappeared.
He was unable to estimate its size, except that it was bigger than the stars. There was no moon and the evening was clear and mild.

On 18/5/06 at 9.49am, Mr P was driving through the Central Coast suburb of Terrigal and saw an object, which at first glance, thought it to be an aircraft as it was leaving a contrail.
After viewing the object for about 5 minutes, Mr P then saw an aircraft come very close to the object which then made him realise that both objects looked quite different to each other and what he first viewed was not an aircraft. He has no idea what is was, but seems to think there are a few strange things happening in the Central Coast area. Mr P took a photo of the object with his mobile phone and is going to forward it on to AUFORN. He is a private investigator and has seen quite a few strange things in daylight hours while doing investigations and has forwarded a report onto AUFORN earlier this year. Number of witnesses: 1.

Mr M is a 68 year old accredited author and a very well respected man in his area of Guildford, NSW. He has been witnessing a strange phenomenon over the Blue Mountains area since the beginning of this year and decided to ring and report it after having coffee with a young man Mr J who had also witnessed the strange event.
Mr M has been witnessing strange flashes in the night sky, which only lasts for a micro second, over the Blue Mountains area most weekends since the beginning of the year. The flash happens generally between the hours of 1.30pm-3.00am and he has seen it 4 times in the past months.
After witnessing this several times, he decided to contact the Department of Meteorology and the Sydney Observatory to see if there was an explanation. Neither party were interested in giving an explanation, however the Dept. of Meteorology seemed to think he was witnessing lightning. Mr M laughed this explanation off but has no idea what the flash and was hoping that there had been other reports. He explains the flash to be like an electricity transformer exploding but with no noise just the flash. The flash happens so quickly that if you were not looking in the right direction, you would never see it. He also explains that if it were lightning, then the whole sky would light up and this is not the case with what he is seeing. Only an area directly west of Guildford over the mountains lights up!

Whilst waiting to go on air on a community radio station on a Sunday night, Debbie received a call from a listener declaring that they had seen a “ball of fire” falling from the sky whilst driving along Richmond road at about 5:45 pm. She rang the air force base at Richmond. They didn’t see it, so when she went to air, Debbie announced the sighting and asked if anyone else had seen it. Someone rang in and said they lived in North Richmond and had seen the exact same thing.No mention of colour or sound was made. The station transmits on 89.9, Hawkesbury, From all correlations and descriptions, it seems most likely that this was one of the meteorites called in from the local area that week. We have made other callin reports from rural west NSW surrounding balls of fire that have hit the ground. Number of witnesses: 1. Dominic McNamara AUFORN NSW

Cahl called as part of the Sea Search and rescue teams on duty at the time that the meteorite calls were being aired to radio and TV. He called us as a second measure after ascertaining that reports made to his department whilst he was on shift were not in fact related to air traffic going down over the surrounding area. Once he was sure that no aircraft were unaccounted for, he rang us and urged other callers to ring the 1800 hotline number if they had any other such sightings. It is our opinion that these were the origins of some of the callins we received over the course of the week of meteorite sightings across the Australian eastern seaboard. Number of witnesses: 1.

Darren, normally an unbeliever in UFO’s, called to report the classic case of a flying disc. Darren said that two large round silver objects, parted by about 30 feet and flying roughly 800 feet high (the cloud bank was above these objects), “flew straight towards me”. He yelled out to his mother who also saw them. As they “silently flashed overhead”, the objects veered off at 45 degrees in order to travel straight out to sea. “They were coming from the Blue Mountains, towards me and then went to the East. NO sounds at all. Speed of them was incredible. It was at night time, a cloudy night, but I could see them easily against the backdrop of clouds.” Telstra 123 put him through to us. “They took off at an incredible rate.” He went on to say that he could not distinguish any light sources. The objects were in his opinion, “most likely metal, roundish, like an oval but a curved at the end.” Darren has lived at Narellan for 5 years and has never seen anything like this in his life.
