Occupation: Student
Sighting Duration: 10 minutes

Observation: I was returning home from Katoomba N.S.W. with my Mother(name and age withheld), my Sister(name name and age withheld) and My Niece (name withheld) age 2. We were driving along , no other cars, and this triangle of three red dots appeared over head and started to move over the sky form east to west and then it started to vibrate and it then flashed blue and was gone. Before it did this I took a photo on my camera phone.

Two days later a man in dark clothing (most noticeable of which was a long black trench coat, even though it was summer, and a "Che Guevarra" berret) came up to me in the street claiming to be from an organisation called "Black Stone" and demanded I hand over my phone; when I refused he looked into my eyes and I could not move, he reached into my pocket and took my phone. As he walked away I found I was able to move. It was very spooky.

Apparent Size Other: A triangle angle, about the size of a hang-glider. Actual Size: A bit bigger than a modern passenger plane.Altitude: I am not an aviation expert but maybe a couple of kilometers but this is just an estimate. Object Origin: East to west then it disappeared in a flash of blue light Object Destination: Upwards? Moon Visible: It was a clear-night but I do not remember seeing the moon. It may have been there. Weather Visibility: Clear

Comments: I came to you now because I have decided not to be intimidated by this man in dark clothing. Effects Other Witnesses: The others seemed pretty terrified but they did not remember afterwards (no lost time).

Witness: MR. A
Number of witnesses present: 1
Sighting Duration: 3.5 to 4 minutes
Occupation: Bakery Assistant

Observation: Walking into the centre of Mount Gambier with several friends early in the morning, I noticed a bright orange light, comparable to a street light, moving in a westerly direction over Mount Gambier. I brought this to the attention of the 3 friends I was with, all of whom also witnessed the light.

Initially the light maintained a steady velocity, then began to slow and appeared to hover. At this point, the light appeared to move south slightly, then north, travelling only just faster than a hover. It again came to a halt and appeared to hover, then the light's intensity appeared to diminish. Its brightness fluctuated for several moments before completely fading away. The light traversed open sky initially, and after that under dense cloud cover.

Description: Relatively smooth movements, no observable shape (other than the appearance of an orange street light) and nil audible sound. I initially believed the light to be from an aircraft, until it came closer and no other lights were visible (e.g.. nav lights, beacons, strobes etc.)

Location : Duigan St, Mount Gambier, alongside Mount Gambier High School. Apparent Size : Pea-Sized - Actual Size : Can't say. - Altitude : Appeared to be just below cloud cover. - Object Origin : East - Object Destination : Object was north of our position when it disappeared. - Planets Visible : Stars were visible in patches of clear sky, generally they were obscured by cloud cover. Viewing Aids : Videoed using mobile phone camera.

Witness: Ray
Number of witnesses present: 3
Investigator: Daniel AUFORN QLD

Rang and spoke to Mr Ray .
Very interesting fellow indeed, Ray is a WW2 veteran of 83 years of age. Found our 1800 hotline call number and decided to tell his story of one of his sightings he had 30 years ago when he was a pilot.

Ray and his co-pilot were flying up to Grove out of Sydney, going to Charleville at night.

Observation: They observed a bright orange circular light approx the size of a soccer-ball, it was approx mile formatting off the port wing. First thing he did was radio back to base, identified himself and asked if any other aircraft were joining their flight circuit on the port side. Reply from base was no, nobody else was in their flight circuit space at the time. Ray told me he then became very worried as the object was very bright and too close for comfort (considering he was many thousand feet in altitude )

After a short while and right after speaking to the base, the orange object shot upwards at great speed “Like a Rocket” (was the description of acceleration according to Ray)right into outer space. Obviously extremely fast for the figure of speech.

When he landed to refuel, he was talking to the Re fueler at the base and found out he wasn’t the only one to witness this object.

2 other pilots along with the re fueler had also seen it as well.

The Air Force sent personnel out to investigate and talk to the other 2 pilots ( must have had a closer look to receive a debriefing ) when they landed at Tindal Air Force Base in Catherine. The pilots never spoke of it again after that. ( according to Ray “probably not allowed to”

Of the other 2 pilots, ( one who was a lot younger that Ray ) is currently still active in aviation and is flying jets for a company ( sorry I cannot disclose ) and Ray has supplied us with his full name and the company for which he still fly’s for so we can try to contact him in case he wishes to inform us about the encounter ( if he is allowed to of course ) being that it was 30 years ago. We will tell him that Ray C from the same Air Force Base had given us his details in case he would like to talk to us about it, as Ray was happy to finally talk about it.

We also have been given the full name of the second pilot who until quite a few years ago was still flying 737’s for a domestic airliner. ( which also witnessed the same object )

Ray is not the only one from his squad to witness this phenomenon, many more pilots had also witnessed similar sightings and reported them as well that he was fully aware of but unfortunately most of them have since passed away ( old WW2 vets )

This is unfortunate because these guys would have had some amazing sightings I am sure.

Queensland, Australia Multiple UFO Sightings (Diagram Of Figure- Face)
Posted: January 13, 2008

Date: Different dates. Time: Different times.

Full Description of event/sighting: I have seen 3 UFO's throughout my 33 years of life,1982 a pulsating orange orb 5 meters in diameter only meters away from me on Fraser Island.1993 a craft (35 ft diameter) spitting out colored lights into the ocean off Scarborough Beach Queensland.1998, 6 glowing lights hovered around exploring for two hours off Scarbourough Beach Queensland. But one thing that has always baffled me is a memory as a 3 year old boy. I was in bed and remember a big round ugly head floating in my room. I was frozen with fear. It spoke to me (can't remember what it said) then disappeared. It's image is so clear in my head I can draw it today. When I was about 14 years old I drew a picture of it's face and told my father about this event. My Dad was in shock of my story for he had seen the exact same thing floating in his room when he was 16 years of age. (He was also frozen with fear at the time). If anyone else has had a similar story or can shed light to this I would be very grateful. Regards.

Additional Information And Diagram:

Hi Brian, Yeah ok, well I drew a picture of this thing for you.

The "head" was round, about 2 feet in diameter, human looking in origin, but very ugly, over sized fat lips that kind of stretched across its face, very pale skin with an almost translucent quality, no hair (eyebrows etc). It's voice (whether it was telepathic or physically audible) was menacing and negative. My Father said when he experienced this entity it didn't speak, it just looked at him. I'm not much of an artist, I tried to give it's skin a translucent quality but instead it looks more like it's been working in a coal mine.

The event happened at Shorncliffe, Queensland, Australia around 1977 at night time. My Father's experience was at Bribie Island, Queensland Australia 1968 around 3:00 a.m. I'd just like to point out too that this thing glowed like the moon but not as bright. I hope this helps. I have just recently joined "Aliens UFO Network Forum" looking for some answers, and a guy claims to have seen a similar thing when he was seven, a "floating head" however the thing he saw was light green with big black eyes.? Anyhow I would be most grateful to hear from you in the future on any information you stumble across regarding similar stories of this event. Regards.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

12.01.08 Kariong (NSW)
Source: UFO-PRSA

I was sitting on my lounge on the computer facing south where I can see out a window with a view to the S and SW. I am familiar with the flight path (both civilian and late night military) and star patterns from this view. At approximately 2350hrs I looked up at the TV in the direction of the window and noticed a small, bright orange light in the distance to the SSW. It was too big to be a star or planet, so I passed it off as a firework as I'd heard some earlier. I looked back at the TV but noticed the light was still there, too long to be a firework, plus there was no noise. I looked at it closer, then moved to the window and noticed that at intervals of about 1- second a smaller ball of the same colour dropped away from the main one. It did not fall behind the main light, but rather appeared to keep pace with it, only getting lower in elevation and fading away after about a second, only to be almost immediately replaced by the next. I appologise if I digress a little, I just wish to express that after seven years of looking out this window I am well aware of what is normal in the sky. I have seen a lot of 'lights' in the sky, both manmade and natural.

Trying to find a 'sensible' explanation I went outside to eliminate the secondary lights as being a reflection on the fly screen or window. Once outside they were still dropping as it slowly moved north, out over the mountains to the SW. A rough estimate would be 2-4km away. This is when I noticed it had become cloudy, forcing me to rule out anything celestial, and it appeared that the clouds were at a level too low for planes to fly under. I thought that maybe the 2nd lights may have been some fancy navigation lights on a plane but there were no wing lights and no reflection in the clouds. Suddenly and very quickly it moved to the east a short distance and then seemingly without stopping it changed direction to the west, angling about 40 degrees up, disappearing into the clouds.

Witnesses: 3
Sighting Duration: ?
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: bright big dot
Weather Conditions: very very clear

Description: I was having a cigarette with my friend in my yard. we both looked up at a bright dot moving across the sky. it looked very high, almost not in atmosphere. it was very clear, no clouds, no wind. we called for everyone there to come and look but my nephew only came outside. it made no sound, had no wing lights that flashed. as it passed over and got about 3/4 the way across the horizon, it seemed to move side to side slowly, not far aside in distance, and then very quickly turn into a really small dot, either because of the angle across the atmosphere or because of speed. either way, it was not normal. this was not our first sighting.

Thank you John for sharing this report.

Witness: John
Occupation: Shop Owner
Sighting Duration: 20 minutes

Observation: This has happened on three occasions. Last year our dog was ill and needed to go outside. It was 3am and this single light looked like star but it was moving quite fast but not like a shooting start. It went in a straight line. No flashing lights so I knew it wasn't an air craft.

Then this year my wife and I both saw the same thing right above our home at 8.30 pm, plus the latest one, except I was looking at it from our bedroom window. It circled this time. I couldn't believe my eyes.We are on a flight path here with flight going out to see for Asia and UK etc. but these weren't planes. Far too high for starters and you can hear the planes here because the area is so quiet. I am 54 years old and I

know what I saw. Please let me know if anyone else has seen this.

Description: No sounds. Unusual movements would be the speed and the last sighting would be the circle that it did.

Location: Nearest Road xxxx in Derby W.A. This is the Kimberleys and regional. No pollution. clear nights. Even though it was starry on all occasions this was as clear as day to see what was happening.

Other Witnesses: Second incident my wife also saw it. Actual Size: Absolutely no idea. Altitude: Higher than planes go or so it appeared. Object Origin: 1st and second incident south heading north. Not a flight path. Flight path is slightly

further south than sighting. Last incident was westerly but circling.

Object Destination: First and second incident headed northerly. Last incident just disappeared westerly. Moon Visible: On the last occasion the moon was visible. Couldn't remember for the first two. Moon Size Comparison: Much smaller like star size Weather Visibility: Clear - Warm.

It was 1.00 or 2.00 am When I got up and decided to go out side for a smoke. I had the front door was open it was summer so it was hot and I leave the front door open and I saw this thing in the sky it was shaped like a triangle and it had lights inside it.

I live near the beach and this thing was above the trees I could see a definite triangle shape with lights inside it I couldn't see the back-end of it because it was stationary just above the trees.

I could see the point of it which was facing north but the strangest thing when I finished my smoke I put it out and went to bed?? I don't know how this thing went away something just told me to go back to bed.
