Location of Sighting: Maryborough. Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 7 Shape of objects: White plasma/metallic.

Full Description of event/sighting: I was sitting on my back deck when I noticed a strange movement in the sky. I grabbed my binoculars and for 20 minutes watched an organic looking plasma ball of light morphing into different forms then turning into a metallic plate and wobbling.

It continued this process over and over again as it traveled north. Every 3 minutes or so a metallic ball or probe would fly past the main craft at great speed. The main craft also at one point spat out a white light that kind of fizzled out as it dropped to the ground. That night 6 amber lights traveled around the sky's between 6pm and 9pm. Stop start movements. (I got photos of the plasma craft). "Please click back to get back to reports"

Weather Conditions: Clear, no cloud


Description: I was sitting looking out my window when I noticed a strange line of bluish/green opalescent balls of light moving towards the coast from Mount Tambourine (South South westerly direction). The lights stopped moving for a moment then flew up to form a round ball of light which became a pulsating bright white cluster of light. Several other little lights moved out from the main object they shoot off and disappeared. The round object stayed hovering, moving slightly up and down and side to side, as it moved it changed in shape from round to eliptical. I grabbed my binoculars, when looking at it through the binoculars I could see the objects shape and what looked to be a spiders web of coloured red and green lights on its surface. I watched it until after 5 minutes after midnight when it began to move North and then disappeared, just as though some had turned the a light out.

Description: We were travelling south along McGregor Road, Pakenham, when noticed 3 LARGE ROUND,BRILLIANTLY LIT (red/orange color), FLYING OBJECTS coming from the east behind homes. Then there was four, then five. We pulled over to observe,then six and seven appeared. All were exactly the same size, color, and distance apart, travelling in formation, high, in an arc, across the sky to the north west. We watched,with amazement,for approximately 15 minutes before heading home on the freeway back to Berwick. My husband kept watch whilst I drove, and we suddenly lost sight of them.

I have contacted the Air Force to check for any training being held by them in the area and they confirmed there was nothing. Also contacted a Melbourne Hot air balloon company and they confirmed they don't fly at night nor would they look like our description. I then made a report to Air Service Australia, after speaking to Moorabbin Airport, who have given me a serial number and will be intouch with me soon with any findings.

I have never in all my years of being out on road as a telephone technition seen anything like what I saw. It had no sound and it moved very fast around 1000ks an hour I guess.

How did the object come to your attention: I saw a light out over the se. Also noticed
at least one or possibly two other aerplanes "circling" the objects with floodlights on I
believe they were observing it too!

Description: I went out to the beach to watch for UFOs! Saw no other light except that of what looked like a massive ship out on the water also an aeroplane above that was circling the area with searchlights on. The lights on the UFO seemed to re-arrange themselves. Then it would disappear under the water. It looked like a submarine with submerged lights. Then I watched it appear on the waters surface and sit there for a few minutes, then it rose off the water and went directly up what looked like a few hundred meters then move sideways what seemed like 1 klm or so and would lower back to the surface and proceed to go under water again.

It did this several times. After 45 minutes of this it went underwater and went North quickly. I rang my girlfriend who was working in Surfers Paradise she went out onto the beach and described in my direction out at sea a ship that looked like it had "excessive lighting, it was huge but it didn't look like a normal ship." Also the plane surveying the area was travelling really slowly, hardly made any noise and looked different to any plane you usually see in the sky. I believe they were watching it too. There was No sound, it went underwater, it was doing something underwater.

Size: I estimated it was around the length of 4 Busses back to back. It was shaped like a large naval ship from what I saw the lights seemed to move and manifest into different position on the craft, the light were bright yellow/white. It was 90º to the beach, directly in front when looking out East.

I believe it was a U.S.O It would look like a submarine with its lights underwater. The object seemed to manifest like it was sitting on the water, then it would raise directly up, more sideways and lower back to the surface and then go underwater again, several times.

At around 9.45pm it seemed to be underwater then it went North along the coast and I could see it in the distance near "The Spit". It was moved around 50 kph when it went under water it moved North very quickly (440 Kph+) it was there a moment, then it was gone.

Lights: Pulsating moving around themselves Size: 4 busses back to back,

Other experiences: A few weeks before both my girlfriend and i watched what looked like a big star in the sky moving around, going in circles and flying along then instantly stopping and hovering ect. In the same areas as this but much higher and further away.

Hi Auforn

The attached photos of a feathery cloud was taken by my 17 year old daughter Mari xxx at 10:27 am on 12 April 2008, however it was only when I downloaded it to computer two weeks later, that I spotted the object just above the cloud. We didn't notice it at the time. I was busy outside and asked her to take a photo of the cloud, which she did with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 digital camera. The camera was on 'continuous shoot' setting and she took two photos in close succession purely by chance.

Photo ‘Apr08 007’ was taken at 10:27:52 with ‘Apr08 008’ taken only 2 seconds later at 10:27:54 – the object had vanished in the 2 second time lapse. I’ve included an enlargement of the object done on PhotoSuite8 as ‘Apr08 007a’. The original two photos ‘Apr08 007’ and ‘Apr08 008’ were not enhanced or changed in any way whatsoever.

Photo taken from our deck overlooking clear mountain in Yugar, Samford, north-west of Brisbane. Direction of photo is towards the North (Sunshine Coast).

(This is an artist impression from details given to AUFORN via its Online UFO report form in addition eye witness conformation the image is correct 12.04.08

Observation: The reason I am writing is for my best friend who lives in Far north NSW who had an unusual experience. My friend is trust worthy, I told her I would do research for her on her behalf. (wants her privacy kept).

She woke up in the early hours of the morning hearing a loud noise like similar a camera lens retracting in or out. She thought it could be the council doing roadworks. She looked out the window and saw an object on legs thin and spidery standing in the middle of the street. (6 LEGS) It took up the entire width of the road and had lights up the legs on the craft. She said the shape was an octagon (in shape but it was squashed in size.

She said basically a squashed octagon. It had a metal tube on top with a smaller octagon on top covered in lights and it extended to the height of the tallest tree. (THE CRAFT WAS COVERED IN LIGHTS)

She doesn't want to give the exact address as she wants to stay unnamed. She was in shock, Kept rubbing her eyes and watched this object in the middle of her street at 3 am. Normally cars drive down this busy road even at 3 am. The object continued to stay in the middle of her street which is on a high hill.

Unsure what to do, she said she stupidly turned the light on, and once she did this the object quickly retracted the probe like object on top and its legs then vanished within seconds. She was left rubbing her eyes in shock and laid in bed trying to work out what happened. She wasn't dreaming as the curtain was pulled back and she lay awake until her alarm went off.

She can't door knock her neighbours so I told her I would do some research. Have you had any reports for the 9th of April at 3 am in the Far north NSW area.

Description: Sounds similar to a camera lens retracting in or out. The object was stationary but it did extend the probe that was on top of the object. She witnessed that. The height was as tall as a palm tree. Lights were on constantly. She said that it wasn't what I expected a UFO to look like. Once she turned the bedroom light on, it compressed back to shape very quickly and vanished. The object had knee like joints and lights on all legs. Object stood 15 meters from the front of her house.

Shape: Like to 2 octagons placed together but squashed. Colour: Hard to say it was dark, it had no markings on it.

Other Witnesses: She was the only one present in this house watching this. Apparent Size Other: Octagon compressed similar to saucer but squarish sides Actual Size: The size of the craft in diameter was the width of a narrow street which basically allows one car to pass around a bend.

Altitude: Tree top height, the top probe was as high as a 2 storey house it was a spidery leg with another small craft attached to the top extended to the height of a tall palm tree.

Object Origin: Was stationary on the middle of the road when she woke up.Object Destination: The object disappeared within one to two seconds. She didn't know how it vanished but it just vanished. Size Comparison: Well it was on the road so it couldn't be the moon. Planets Visible: Stars present. Weather Visibility: Clear Weather Temp: Cold Weather Wind: Calm. Viewing Aids: No, she said she didn't even think about grabbing a camera as she was too shocked.

Effects Physical: NO. Effects Psychological: Emotionally a little dazed about the event but she didn't loose any period of time.

Other Experiences: She is a straight forward and practical person. She doesn't have any psychological issues.

(Could you please contact me regarding this issue by email as my friend is quite stressed, now checking her sanity as she is a rational person. Have you had any sightings in this area before and any for the the 9th of April at 3 am?.

Newcastle - 11th April 6.55pm.
S and her husband were sitting outside when they noticed two 'stars', one above the other and as they watched, the bottom one ascended slowly and 'merged' with the other. It took about 10 minutes for this to happen. They were hovering and then they faded out. She rang the Williamtown air base who said that they 'don't do UFO reports' and gave her the hotline number. They were looking towards East Maitland, in the easterly sky. She descried the objects as starlike.

Witness Name: Mrs M x
Number of witnesses present: 3
Sighting Duration: 10 minutes.

Observation: My husband noticed the objects at 7.30 while in the kitchen looking west. (Funniest Home Video was doing end credits) he called to me to get outside quickly and he followed.

We live on a hill overlooking Gympie city and to the south west two large(?) orange lights were moving slowly north west. They appeared close as the lights were quite large compared to aircraft lights at about the same distance. No lights were flashing. They were flying very steadily - no zigwag etc and took 10 minutes before we lost them in the distance - they faded out. I assume we saw the tail glow of fighter planes. They also appeared to be flying quite low as two planes were flying after them - faster (they appeared and went in quicker time than the orange lights) and much higher in the sky.

We have it on video - now have to figure out how to get it off and tape it. We would like to know if it is RAAF planes. Hope I am not wasting anyones time - it was fascinating to watch - don't see unusual things like that often.

(IMAGE TAKEN WITH A MOBILE PHONE CAMERA)

Description: No unusual movements. They appeared to be very smooth, though we think flying low. They came from the south traveling north. One appeared to be above and behind the other. The size of the orange "glows" didn't appear to get smaller for awhile as we tracked them across to the north west of us and we assumed they were going north then just as suddenly they started to disappear in a more westerly direction and the glows started to diminish. A plane which came from the same direction behind them was much higher in the sky and traveling much faster and going due north. We hope they saw them. No sounds at all.

No neighbours at home at the time. Rang my mother to look out for them but her view was obscured by trees. She lives north of the town centre.

Apparent Size Other: Between a star and a pea (sorry cant think of a good comparison) Actual Size: The size of each glow was significant - no mistaking that they were not a usual night sky inhabitant. We often watch the stars and satellites but this was very different. The plane lights that were traveling behind could be described as flashing pin pricks (star size).

The orange lights were much larger say the top of a pencil. Hopefully the pictures will give a better idea. Altitude: Sorry I am going to be vague but a plane flying behind them appeared to be following the natural curve of the earth and well up in the atmosphere. The two lights were much lower - and appeared to get lower before disappearing.

Object Origin: South west of us moving north west Object Destination: Seem to disappear into the horizon Moon Visible: Moon visible, very bright. North and slightly west of our house, high up - 90 degrees Moon Size Comparison: Smaller than the moon but much bigger that the stars around the moon at the time.

Planets Visible: The "saucepan" directly west of us was visible up above the horizon, two stars in a direct line up/down were east of the moon and other smaller stars. Sorry I don't know their names. Weather: Clear, Pleasant, Calm Viewing Aids: Binoculars, photographed with mobile phone and video taped. Effects Physical: None whatsoever. Just awe struck.

Other Experiences: Yes - a couple of times Firstly -My husband, mother and I saw a tubular shaped object (looked like a flouresent tube)moving through the evening sky in Alice Springs some years ago. The aboriginal community of Santa Teresa witnessed it also and it freaked them out. Turned out to be an Italian satellite (we were told) that hadn't opened correctly and what we saw was the sun's reflection on one of it's panels.

Second time last year in January about 3.00 a.m I witnessed two blue lights falling down out of the sky south west of us. They fell in a kind of arch - disappeared behind houses so my view was obscured - must have been very far away. Guess they were meteorites.

Observation: I was standing in my back lawn looking at the stars, the Southern Cross etc. My dog(German Shepherd) standing beside me started growling. I then looked north in the sky and with the glow from streetlights etc I nearly fell back. I actually said "What the hell is that!" What I saw appeared (to me) to be just above the treetops travelling from north to south in a slow steady movement. This thing was 'V-shaped (triangle) with at least 4 round lights down each side of the 'V' yet they weren't lit however I could clearly see what I was seeing thanks to the lights from the ground illuminating up. The thing was huge and what I could see was to me the underneath of it. I watched it for about 10 or so seconds until it disappeared further south over trees...my line of view was then blocked. My dog then stopped growling!

Description: Strange thing was there was absolutely no sound as it glided past. There was absolutely no planes anywhere in the area at this time. Location: home (location kept private) Other Witnesses: Unfortunately no-one. Apparent Size Other: Like half the size of a jumbo jet Altitude: Above tree top height. Huge gum trees on the golf course. Object Origin: North Object Destination: South Moon Visible: I didn't notice sorry, I was amazed. Planets Visible: Stars, it was a very clear night. Weather Visibility: Clear Pleasant, Calm Effects Physical: No Effects Psychological: Just mentally really thinking 'bloody hell, I really saw that'!! Effects Other: No but my dog only barks/growls if someone/something is close to the house. She is a brilliant guard dog.

End Note: I have talked with the witness he said he is trained to be observant that's his job. He said the lights on the object were doom shape with the inner rim of the doom lit up, the object moved around 10 klm per hour, very slow for its size, with no sound. He said his dog is an x police dog and he is trained also. He informed his son of his sighting who told him to report it to a UFO Research Network.

He was happy to talk about the sighting and was amazed at what he had seen.

Miners 'saw UFO'
By BEN LANGFORD story dated - 01.May.2008

Date of sighting 25th.04.2008

Source NT News - http://tiny.cc/KnQLz

FIVE mine workers are convinced they saw a UFO fly over them on a remote Territory island. Mine maintenance worker Arnold Murray said a bright object whizzed over the Gemco mine site on Groote Eylandt as he and his colleagues started the night shift last Friday.

Mr Murray, 32, said the bright light was slightly higher than a plane coming to land -- but it was silent. He and four workmates were at the mine site at 7.15pm when he saw an object flying towards them.

"I noticed a star in the sky and it was getting closer,'' he said. "As it approached I realised it was at plane level. "Four other lads walked out of the office and we watched it for a little while. It was vertical from us, there were no flashing lights or noise.

"The plant's pretty quiet at night. (It made) no noise whatsoever. "All of a sudden it shot off and left a long orange trail behind it. That orange trail just faded out like a shooting star.''

Mr Murray said they wanted to know what flew over their heads in the night. "It wasn't a chopper, it wasn't a plane, we knew that much, and it definitely wasn't a shooting star.'' "It blew us out of the water.''

Defence spokeswoman Kelly Cooper said the object was not a military plane. "There were no military aircraft flying in that area at that time on that day,'' she said.

She said any navy ships letting off flares would have been at least 200 nautical miles off shore.

Groote Eylandt, in the Gulf of Carpentaria, is near one of the first and most famous UFO sightings in Australia -- the "light wheel'' reported on January 23, 1964. Sailors on a vessel off the northeast point of the island reported seeing a circle of pulsing lights rotating clockwise, and they said their compass went "haywire''.


26.04.08 DANDENONG (VIC) 0400hrs (DL)
Source: JOHN HAYES UFOINFO.COM
Number of witnesses present: 1
Location: Dandenong/Melbourne/Australia
Number of objects: 1.

Shape of objects: The body of the object was dark and hard to make out but after looking through the binoculars i saw a faint dark outline of the craft, it was long and narrow with a thicker midsection and alot thinner at the back and front of the craft.

Weather Conditions: Abit of rain earlier but the weather quickly cleared up with very little cloud cover, you could see the moon and stars very clearly.

Description: I was at a friends house (26, april, 2008), at about roughly 4:00am I decided to go outside in his backyard for a cigarette, my friend came out with me also. As we were having a chat we noticed a bright green flash like thunder without the noise just above some clouds (very thin cloud cover) to the north of us.

We thought that was strange but quickly got over it and went back inside.

About a half an hour later (4:30am) I went outside to his backyard alone for a cigarette, as im standing there just looking around I noticed what looked like a plane flying low to the ground (a bit above the tree tops) it had strangely bright white and red flashing lights which were constantly blinking at a fast rate and did not make a single sound, I didn't really get to see a shape or anything as it was dark. But it was a rather large aircraft based on the lights.

It came from the west (Dandenong) and travelled towards the east (Doveton-Narre Warren area) It was moving at a rather slow pace, 10 minutes must have gone past before I called my friend out to have a look, he came out then quickly ran inside to get the binoculars.

He had a look and told me to quickly look as it started to pick up abit of a pace. When I looked through the binoculars I saw what appeared to be two sets of lights arranged in a triangular pattern at a bit of a distance from one another, the lights were coloured orange/red and were flickering. The lights were attached to this long object, the configuration was 3 lights at the front and 3 lights at the back of this craft.

I also saw a faint dark outline of the craft while looking through the binoculars, it was long and somewhat narrow with a thicker middle area.

It picked up abit of speed then I lost sight of it as it moved behind some trees.

I was curious of this object after seeing the intense bright flashing colours, then I was stunned and somewhat shocked after seeing it through the binoculars.

My impression is that this thing was not a manmade craft, the way it moved and looked just had this otherworldly vibe to it.

This happened in Victoria, Australia over the suburb of Dandenong.

TV/Radio: Not sure if this was reported as it happened very early in the morning, not many people would have been out and about. This makes me wonder whoever was patrolling in this aircraft was doing so low to the ground seemingly above peoples houses travelling at such
a low speed for about 20 minutes before taking off at a rather incredible speed.

Thank you John Hayes for passing on this sighting.

We managed to take 1 picture of the object and it just disappeared then once again re appeared more to the east when we spotted it again it flew up toward the sky and it was gone. The speed of this thing was unbelievable I've never seen anything fly so fast in my life it actually left like an exhaust
fume in the sky as it flew in the air so quickly ware it disappeared for the
last time.

A BRIGHT GREEN FLASH & UFO

Number of witnesses: 1 Number of objects: 1 Shape of objects: The body of the object was dark and hard to make out but after looking through the binoculars I saw a faint dark outline of the craft, it was long and narrow with a thicker midsection and alot thinner at the back and front of the craft.

Weather Conditions: Abit of rain earlier but the weather quickly cleared up with very little cloud cover, you could see the moon and stars very clearly.

Description: I was at a friends house (26, April, 2008), at about roughly 4:00am I decided to go outside in his backyard for a cigarette, my friend came out with me also. As we were having a chat we noticed a bright green flash like thunder without the noise just above some clouds (very thin cloud cover) to the north of us.

We thought that was strange but quickly got over it and went back inside.

About a half an hour later (4:30am) I went outside to his backyard alone for a cigarette, as I'm standing there just looking around I noticed what looked like a plane flying low to the ground (a bit above the tree tops) it had strangely bright white and red flashing lights which were constantly blinking at a fast rate and did not make a single sound, I didn't really get to see a shape or anything as it was dark. But it was a rather large aircraft based on the lights.

It came from the west (Dandenong) and traveled towards the east (Doveton-Narre Warren area) It was moving at a rather slow pace, 10 minutes must have gone past before I called my friend out to have a look, he came out then quickly ran inside to get the binoculars.

He had a look and told me to quickly look as it started to pick up abit of a pace. When I looked through the binoculars I saw what appeared to be two sets of lights arranged in a triangular pattern at a bit of a distance from one another, the lights were colored orange/red and were flickering. The lights were attached to this long object, the configuration was 3 lights at the front and 3 lights at the back of this craft.

I also saw a faint dark outline of the craft while looking through the binoculars, it was long and somewhat narrow with a thicker middle area.

It picked up abit of speed then I lost sight of it as it moved behind some trees.

I was curious of this object after seeing the intense bright flashing colours, then I was stunned and somewhat shocked after seeing it through the binoculars.

My impression is that this thing was not a manmade craft, the way it moved and looked just had this otherworldly vibe to it.

This happened in Victoria, Australia over the suburb of Dandenong.

TV/Radio: Not sure if this was reported as it happened very early in the morning, not many people would have been out and about. This makes me wonder whoever was patrolling in this aircraft was doing so low to the ground seemingly above peoples houses traveling at such a low speed for about 20 minutes before taking off at a rather incredible speed.

Eastwood - 28th April 21.00.

It was a shiny blue fluorescent ball of light. First thought it to be a plane as it was traveling around plane height. We noticed it because it was very bright, unusually bright for a plane. Me and my fiancé were checking it out and talking. After a couple of seconds it sped up, left a light trail and disappeared.

More sightings to be posted please call back
