| hundred metres, and hovered again, he said. It's color then changed from gold to dark blue or purple, and it emitted a beam of light towards the rainforest below.
The UFO then followed this beam downwards until it disappeared behind a spur, he said. Mr De Brincat said the object must have been enormous because it was clearly visible from at least 15 km away. He said it had been a fascinating sight which he doubted he would see again. He had believed at first that the UFO was an aeroplane in trouble, and had taken some photographs, but none had come out. The UFO first appeared about 5.30 pm, and remained visible for about five minutes. It was also observed by touch footballers training on the Pease Park Oval. UFO sightings also were reported on Tuesday night from Tully and the Atherton Tablelands, Describing a silver object which resembled the condensation trail from a jet plane. |
