It was during the nights of the week that we were having the planet parade on 25/01/2025 and days after that event I jacob was doing my thing chilling, listening to music, having a smoke (if you know what I mean) and admiring the beautiful crystal clear night sky as I'm looking up I see this phenomenon object with bright light way up in the night sky moving at extremely high speed as I'm seeing this I'm yelling out to my mate of mine to come outside and witness this UAP. My mate of mine who was dull to me calling out his name he came outside and without curiosity and said "yeah", I told him what happened, what I had seen and what I think it was…(noting it could NOT have been a plane considering I can track them and I tracked the last ones around that time the planes path did not match up). A few days later I am sitting outside in the same spot doing the same stuff and I seen this absolutely amazingA few days later I am sitting outside in the same spot doing the same stuff and I see this absolutely amazing phenomenon again I call out to my same mate who had lacked curiosity the first time I witnessed this encounter he came running outside and I'm screaming "look look I told you" and I kept repeating it. We were watching the UFO, UAP for about 3 minutes just hovering then take off east then all of a sudden it takes off fast to the west bouncing away and it keeps going and going and going until our eyes can no longer depict what is a twinkle and what is the phenomenon.

Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: -1

Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Location details: Wynumm which is a bayside suburb. I live 200 metres from the waterfront.The ufo was at both sites.

Shape: Disk


I saw iridescent green ufo 'saturn' shaped hovering over the 3 story apartment block.

On the evening of Monday 9 January around 8.15pm I stood on my front landing and watched an iridescent green ufo of the classical style (saturn shaped) hovering above the 3 story apartment block across the road. It hovered about 6 feet above the building.

The ufo was about 1.8 meters in diameter. And appeared to pulsate in and out of reality.It had no other lighting. This vehicle was totally green and had no portholes around the dome rather there appeared to be a black lattice work on the dome. As for overall size perhaps the size of a old VW car.

It hovered for about 5 mins. I felt it was making sure I was able to get a good look at it, but I did not dare go inside to get a camera as I was worried it would disappear. When it did move it zapped straight down to the water front which is about 200 metres away. It then hovered at the waterfront. I do know that there is a wading pool down there so it could have been looking at the water source. It then just zapped out across the horizon. As it disappeared it turned a grey colour but that could have been cloud covering.

As a unversity researcher with a PhD in Law I am writing about space law and protocols for engagment with extraterrestials. I texted my brother as soon as the incident happened. He is a senior public servant and flies small drones. He indicated it did not sound like a drone as the lighting was incorrect and it is against the law to fly drones at night in Australia. Also hobby drones are not that large.

On Friday 28/10/22 7:30pm I saw a very fast white light fly past a plane the object was moving east to west close to the horizon

Between 7:00-7:30pm on Friday night I was smoking a cigarette on my back veranda in Jamboree heights, Australia. Whilst smoking my cigarette I was watching a plane coming in for landing at either the Brisbane Airport (BNE) or the Archerfield Airport (ACF). The plane was about 20° from the horizon travelling towards me, as the plane was travelling towards me a equally bright white light or slightly brighter flew just past the plane travelling the full distance of the sky moving east to west. It took about 5 seconds for the object to make a full pass of the sky clearly moving at some intense speed. The object flew very close to the plane almost looking as if they would collide until it passed by, I believe this may have been a line of sight illusion. I first believed that the object was a satellite or maybe the ISS but the intensity of its light seemed to throw me off. It could have been a meteor or shooting star but I have seen many of them before in my life and none ever had this bright of a light, or ever had a solid consistent light as it travelled.

Bright light hovering still for several minutes, then suddenly moving vertically to the ground.

My daughter and I saw a UFO (her first ever!). I was driving, she was watching a very bright light she though was a star, which was just still in the sky for a good few minutes (not getting bigger or smaller), and then it dropped straight down to the ground, too fast for a drone (and too bright) and too slow and vertical for a meteor. An extremely bright white light. I was getting lost at that moment (trying to take a short cut which didn't work out!) but when I got home I checked where we were on Google Maps. We were in the suburb of Berrinba and the ufo was in the South West direction of Brisbane. It looked to be about at least 5 telegraph poles high, but it was hard to say how far away it was. It was a very bright cool light, as bright as a welder's arc, but it didn't really light up the rest of the sky around it.

Red light glide across the water at over 200 kilometers an hour (wasn't in the air).

I live in Cleveland on the coast of Queensland right next to the water my house looks over at Stradbroke Island (very large island).

At 4:40 today I saw a red light glide across the water at over 200 kilometers an hour between the coast and Stradbroke.

Stradbroke Island is 38 kilometers long and this red light pasted the half of the island that I can see in under 10 seconds. It almost looked like it was sitting on the water as it went past the island it wasn't in the sky.

My brother also saw it as he was getting ready for work. We would both like to know if you have heard of anything like this happening before.

Also, Stradbroke is a populated island with over 5000 people living on it and god only knows how many people look over at the island from the coast.

White beam of light in sky with circular object beneath that disappears into the beam at lightening speed.

Went onto our balcony in St. Lucia, Brisbane, to get some air and I looked out over the park to see what looked like a plane in the distance.

Then realised there was a circular white beam of light above the circular looking object so said to my boyfriend what's that he didn't know what to say, we both stop and watched.

The object then flew directly upwards into the sky like vertically into the white light. All of what we saw then just vanished.

We are both freaked out and googling possibilities!

Triangle UFO spinning really fast and flying fast with a mate.

My house mate noticed it in the sky so I grabbed my phone and started recording a triangle going in circles really fast and was moving fast, to be honest it looked like a flying figit spinner was matalic and Shon of the sun but underneath was flat so it was blacked due to shadow. No sound at all. Than we ran out the font and it was gone so we walked out back then I went to the loo and my house mate called out it came back this time it was to. I didn't get the second on vid but the first one is on YouTube @ Philfy Investigates - the Phantom Watcher. Very clear I still have the original 4k copy and will keep it.

Flash of light in the night sky followed by a second very bright flash just seconds afterwards. The flash lasted only a second or two.

I was working on my work laptop sitting facing diagonally looking out the window to the North eastern sky. I know there is nothing in that direction within 2-3 kms just bushland and night sky.

In the corner of my eye I see a very bright light enter the sky (window view) it flashes once. I freaked out, took a closer look and I then see a second flash of light then it disappears.

I go immediately outside to take a look and see nothing but a the ordinary stars in the sky.

Nothing as bright as what I saw out the window from the second floor of the house.

There were no 'flapping' wings which is why this caught my attention. They were white/grey in colour. Sighting lasted for approx. 20-25 seconds.

Pulsing Blue Ball of Electricity Making A Loud Siren Noise Vibrating my Body

Me and a few mates were at a party and we were just going for a stroll down the road, when suddenly we heard this very odd sound. It was a very frightening sound, it felt as if it was vibrating my body. This is going to sound ridiculous but it sounded exactly like the siren from the movie The War of The Worlds.

Anyway, as soon as we heard the sound we turned towards it's direction, and a huge, blue pulsing ball of lightning appeared, and started contracting expanding and getting louder and louder and brighter and brighter.

After about 15 seconds it shot of to the left, not sure of the specific direction, but this was the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed in my life.

All my friends sprinted back to our houses in fear thinking UFO's have just made official contact with earth.

Anyway, I haven't seen any reports about something like this. I'm so curious as to what it is and I cannot think of any rational explanation.

It could not have been anything human. This light lit up the hole horizon and the sky, it went from pitch black to a deep blue contrast everywhere you looked.

This has been my only UFO sighting.

Think how you please but this the absolute truth. Just thought I would share.

Black object near a flock of birds, looked like floating paper but was too big and then proceeded to move straighter and faster. Oval.

There was a strange shape around a flock of birds I noticed and it was bigger than the birds. The object seemed to move left to right as if it were a big plastic bag moving through the sky. But then it moved in a straight line and moved quicker.

It was like a oval in shape from where I could see it but it had a indent on the side. The object was about 3 times the size of one of the birds in the flock nearby. The object was black as seen under a blue afternoon sky. The object headed east from the sighting area.

flicker, vanish, reappear, then hit warp speed ... its like they were show boating.. now u see me. now u dont.

We went out the front to have a cigarette, just before midnight and looked up... Nice clear sky. Stars everywhere saw something dark orange/ red moving higher than a plane flys and much quicker. But not fast enough to be an asteroid or comet. It slowed down and stopped completely then it seriously went invisible. It had 2 small glowing orange circles on it. And one by one they flickered and it dissapeared. Then reappeared stayed stationary for a couple seconds and then took off faster than possibly anything on this planet.

About 2 minutes afterwards we were still in that "shock and awe" state and another one appeared on the exact same path. I pulled my phone out hit record and it flickered but stayed on and shot off in another direction at "warp" speed... It did a j pattern in the air. I honestly thought this stuff was a load of crap untill last night. Changed my perspective on UFOs and other life forms... Whatever it was... They're defi! nately alot older and alot more advanced than mankind.

Got goose bumps and the hairs on my neck stood up....

BRISBANE object sighted 11 May 2012

There was 8 of us sitting on our balcony when all of a sudden a flying object appeared, which seemed to be flying at approximately 200-300 ft. We saw two lights on the craft, one at each visible end. The fuselage was a dark colour and looked very narrow but in a disk shape. The craft was descending over Chermside, QLD and it appeared to be almost rocking from side to side (almost like an aeroplane about to stall). It disappeared behind trees and the neighbours house but once we rushed to the front balcony to view, the craft had disappeared. There was absolutely no engine noise whatsoever, no clouds in sky. The night was clear and crisp. Shortly afterwards we spotted a small jet that flew a similar route. The craft we saw looked larger than the wingspan of a B747 (I work in aviation) and was flying too low. Any ideas??

Bright white object doing unatural manouvres

Me and my son were fishing just outside Brisbane whilst on holiday in Australia.

It was mid afternoon when i noticed an extremely bright white light in the sky over the sea in front of us. I told my son to look at it as well.

It was like a round ball of pure white light. It was moving from right to left at probably the speed of a normal passenger jet. It then stopped still and remained stationary for about 30 seconds. It then moved off again in the same direction and passed a cloud (there was only 1 or 2 clouds in the sky). The cloud was very white but the object could be easily seen as it flew in front of it as it was a pure white colour. It passed the cloud then stopped again and flew up very fast in a semicircular movement from left to right, stopped again in roughly the original position that i first noticed it and stopped again for about 30 seconds or so before moving from right to left again before stopping. About another 30 seconds passed and then the object did what no aircraft could do. It suddenly accelerated at a tremendous speed upwards and we watched it untill it disappeared from view.

slow moving rectangle object at low altitude passed over my house, with a rushing air sound.

We have just driven into our drive way in the middle of suburbia. Lock the car and was admiring the sky as I walked inside. I saw the light of a commercial liner, nothing strange then under it much lower at the height a small light plane would fly i saw a shimmer. It was 4 small white lights on the corner of a rectangle object. There was the sound (similar to that of a kettle about to boil0, fast moving air. The speed was slow like a car driving past but constant. The object travelled across my line of sight and just faded into the distance as it move too far away to see.

The object was like a mist or heat shimmer yet I could determine it was there as the clouds and stars behind it disappeared as it travelled past.

I’m glad I saw this as it has answered questions for me, yes there is either life out there or we humans have technology we keep from the public eye, either way it means the future is exciting.

Silver object with lights seen over state capital city brisbane australia in broad daylight 10/05/08

I was driving through Brisbane QLD australia with 3 of my children and 1 other child who is a friend of my 14 year old son. I looked up and there in the sky was this shiny metal object.

The objects colour was that of aluminium foil. I thought at first maybe it was a plane that had the sun reflecting of it but it moved to the left (west) and that when you could see it was a silver colour. The shape was very hard to make out. Perhaps a cigar shape.

I said to the kids - " Do you all see that up in the sky that silver thing" They all replied " yeh up there" As I was watching it I saw this lights come on, it reminded me of when someone turns on a set of spot lights in the daytime and they are driving towards you. The lights had to have some power behind it for me to see this from where it was hovering. As I was still watching it, it suddenly disappeared - it vanished.

I turned back to the kids and said " Did you all see that - can anyone see where its gone to - its vanished - its disappeared" Each of the children said they all saw it and watched it vanish into thin air.

I know it was not a plane and I dont think it was a weather balloon unless they now come equiped with really high powered lights.

7:30 Night blue hovering ufo shot away brisbane australia

Me and my friend had finished a performance at school drama night. We wondered the school while it was pitch black. We decided to head back cause it must have been almost finished. I was walking when my friend screamed “LOOK!” there was a ufo hovering about 800m away and about 400m high. It was longish and oval shaped. It was blue with a kind of aura glowing from it which was also blue. It was as if the ufo saw us and shot downwards then straight up out of sight. To this day no ne believes us and we swear on our lives we saw something that night.

It was lit up well and when i saw it it instanly gave me chills down my spine.

VIDEO PROOF jets are no match for the speed of UFO

river fire festival brisbane, australia, 2006, 7.34pm.

The jets past through the city as i was filming from my roof top approx. 10kms away all i could see was the after burners and between the 2 jets there was a light with a darker grey circle around it (this was high in the sky) it was flying with the jets then jumped ahead of them by about 200m then jumped back and continued to fly with them suddenly took off at an extreme speed and its light got smaller as it sped off into the distance this event lasted 60 seconds

saucer, 15-20m wide, stationary for 2 mins, about 1km of the ground, no sound, went in for a phone to take vid. came back and gone

the object was a saucer shape, seemed to be glowing, although might of had reflection from the city lights. the disk was stationary when i first saw it, hard to say how far it was from the earth, mabye 1km? But i think it was about 15-20 meters long. No flashing lights, no noise. At first i thought it may of been a blimp, but it was the wrong shape. I watched it for about 2 mins. It did move a little to the south. I ran into the house to get my Phone to take video, but when i came back it was gone, i was away for about a minute. I havnt heard anything about it on the news, but the area is built up so some one must of seen it too.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Object moving at impossible speed and coming to a dead stop while two other objects are also seen.

My wife and I went to take the dog for his usual last walk before bedtime. We came out of the front door and just got to the end of our driveway. I mostly always have a look at the night sky over Brisbane and the stars because it is so clear all the time. I looked up and my eye was immediately caught by a bright light moving upwards and to the left at speed. I tracked the object as it moved and the light became less bright as it ascended upwards. Then it faded into a mere speck of light but stayed completely still again.

The object was about 65 degrees and was white in colour.

I then watched as it got brighter again and looked as if it was on it's way back down again. It then moved down and to the right at an incomprehensible speed covering a significant distance in an instant, before coming to an abrupt dead stop (not a controlled gradual slowdown).

I told my wife what I'd seen and together we watched the object go bright and then fade and then go bright again, all the time it darted from side to side, up and down in a series of eratic instant movements.

We watched it from 10.30pm until 11.20 It stayed there until at least midnight, after that we went to bed.

My wife went inside complaining of a sore neck after watching this thing for 50 minutes. I looked around the sky and seen another object which was around 30 degrees this time. It was orange coloured and much closer I guessed since the light was bigger and far more noticeable. It too was getting bright, then getting faded again and was engaging in the same sort of eratic dancing manouveres as the first object.

This time I had a good point of reference. There was a telegraph pole to the left of the object and I stood watching from a fixed position while the object disappeared behind my line of sight behind the telegraph pole and then re-emerged again. It also moved up and down some estimated 10 degrees in altitude all throughout the time we watched it.

A third smaller light could be seen in a different portion of the sky. It too had the same charectaristics of the other two and I also had a palm tree as a point of reference. It moved slowly but significantly to the left of the palm tree over an hour long period.

UFO sighting Springfield Queensland Australia.

As I was having a breath of fresh evening air on the veranda I suddenly turned my head to the right to watch a bright orange object fall slowly from the sky. At first glance it appeared to be a hot air ballon in flames falling slowly as its long projected flame consumed the dark sky less than half a killometer from my view point.I shouted to my daughter and Wife ,"Come and see A UFO!" For another moment I thought it was a crashing space craft.Then all of a sudden it stopped falling and seemed to hover . By this time my daughter and wife were standing beside me. Then the oject reformed itself into a star of david like gleeming light still bright orange in colour. "Its Coming toward us" I said. then it turned round and headed in a westerly direction . I rushed inside the house and grabbed my binoculars and telescope and traced the progress of the ufo till it faded out of sight over the horizon. The duration of sighting was about 5-10 minutes. The actual Reading on the compass was 290 degrees in which the object headed till it was out of sight. The object was totally silent.

This was our second UFO sighting the last being in December 1999 Southwest Rocks New South Wales. Australia where twenty or so people observed a similar object.

very bright light 25deg above horizon, near sunset. caught the attention of other motorist - suddenly vanished

as the sun was going down, me and my partner, where driving when my partner pointed at a stationary bright light in the sky. at first it looked like a very bright star. i pulled over, and we both got a better look at it. i noticed someone behind us also pulled over, got out of their car and looked at the same object as us. to the right of us was, was some dwellings, and noticed someone taking photos of the object, we could see the camera flash. this object started to drop in altatude. it started to look like a very bright tear drop about the size of a pea. the object was heading behind tree's. we moved the car to a different spot, but could not find it any more.

the sun was behind the object. yet the object had a very very intense light.

there where no clouds in the sky at the time.

did not hear anything on local radio, and did not talk to any other observers. my partner and i are both sane. we both believe what we saw was very strange, and out of place.



NUFORC Note:

Witness provides photograph, which does, indeed, look bizarre. If the second light in the sky is not caused by ice crystals refracting the Sun's light, then we do not know what the object is. PD

Myself and one other person witnessed a LARGE fireball with a bright incandescant core and a long flaming tail pass overhead in a NNE heading SSW.There was a Heavy passenger (>B737)jet heading overhead at about 20-25000ft in a westerly direction at the same time. I am unsure if the flight crew had witnessed the event,but I would be most surprised if they missed it. I have had a long career in aviation but never witnessed anything as large or as terrifying as this event. I thought that there would be a cataclysmic event when this object impacted.I truly thought that this object was going to impact in the near vicinity. it disappeared out of my line of sight behind MT Samson (approx 950ft)which was about 2 -3 kilometres away.

Location: Brisbane (QLD, Australia), , Australia

Shape: Cylinder


I've seen the 4 to 6 ft cyinder in Australia

I have read the sighting post,posted by the scientist in California, suggesting the cylinder shaped object of about 4 to 6 feet in length is that of the military. As was described by the writer, A small cylinder shaped object {not a drone} moving all around the military aircraft with no visible propulsion. The writer also suggests that the object was in fact being escorted by the aircraft. This certainly sounds within the realms of possibility and perhaps is accurate.

The object described by the author has shown up here on the central east coast of Australia.

It wasn't until I read the report, that the memory of my sighting was brought back.

It doesn't sound very excting, but here's what happened.

On the day{shown above} my 11 year old son was outside playing with the boy next door. His Mother was doing a bit of gardening at the front of her house. I was inside at the time.

My son called out to me to take a look at a strange object in the sky.

It was cylindrical in shape, looked to be 4 to 6 feet in length, maybe 2 feet wide, a greyish brown colour. We didn't notice any lights as it was broad daylight. The object was in totally clear view, with no clouds or shadows to impead or mistake what we were seeing.

The object may have been only 100 to 150 feet up, but it's a bit hard to say for sure.

The four of us stood scratching our heads as to what it might be. It moved slowly, about the speed of a hot air ballon on a realitively calm day. It's altitude did not seem to waver, nor did it's direction. East to west as if on a tightly pulled piece of string. If it were a loose bag or something, one would expect it to blow all over the place. We watched the object dissappear slowly to the west without a clue as to what it may have been. No lights. No haze, no windows, no fanfare at all. Just a very solid looking object in the sky.

Spotted on way home, unknown date (March approx.), around 1800 (sundown), object may have been in air some time before we (my wife and I) noticed it. Have video footage and will attempt to attach to this message (mpg or avi format I think).

Three circular lights in a perfectly formed triangular shape moved accross the sky at high speed before stopping and changing direction

Standing in my front yard I looked at the sky wondering if I would see a shooting star when I looked up a moving object caught my eye. At first I thought it was a plane but as I observed I heard no sound just saw the three lights in a perfect triangular formation change direction and moving quickly accross the sky. The lights were dim but bright enough to watch as they disapeared over the horizon. I've seen satelites and this object wasn't one, it moved from just above the south western horizon to disapear over the north eastern horizon within 30sec. They were white in colour but quite dull. Just before it disapeared over the horizon the object came to a complete halt, remaining perfectly still for about 10-15 sec. My two dogs were locked up at the time, but when I let them out into the back yard they whimpered and barked at the sky. They have never done this previously.

Interesting formation over east coast Australia

I watched a formation of 8 lights move across the sky. They appeared to cover a large distance relatively quickly. As they got closer the lights pulsed slightly, changing from orange, to red, to white. The formation alternated, meanwhile, between a zig-zag and straight line.

The objects were the size of bright stars, and I estimated to be about two miles to the east. It was dark, and the sky was clear albeit for a slight haze.

Shortly after changing to white the objects formed two cirles and emitted trails of sparks as they descended out of my field of view, ie., behind buildings as I walked.

Despite having lived near airports, both military and commercial, I had never witnessed anything similar.

A possible explanation occurred to me a week later, and I made a few email enquiries.

This sighting turned out to be a parachute display team, with flares, operating in darkness for the benefit of the attendees at a local agricultural show. It had me foxed.

I'm English, and I'm pretty sure that parachutists don't perform at night in the UK, but laws here obviously don't prohibit such activity.

I hope this sighting may be of interest as it could perhaps explain a limited number of other sightings around the globe? It seems the objects were closer than I had realised, thus giving a false impression of speed, and the impressive formation was actually fairly standard for a skilled parachute team!

flashing light's dissapearing on and off and ship reappearing every night so far.

Walk out and saw a star, but flashing green, yellow, blue and red and it was moving everynow and then. We looked through the binoculars and saw a oval shape with a row of colours in the centre of the craft. We saw this for about three nights and we thought it was weird just sitting there but we saw some times more than one object eg. sitting in the sky and a yellow flash (shape of a dot) came up (mean while driving) and then we went behind a building and when i went to look next it was gone. There was another time how 2 more came out of the one flashing then the centre one shimmered side ways and then dissapeared.

Sighting seems consistent with sighting of celestial body. PD

Bright flash, but not a blinding flash, then it took off, and that was it. Real wierd. No sound.

We were driving along centenary highway, and we saw in front of us a real wierd thing, it sort of flew in front of our car and as it went passed there was a real bright light that flashed. It was like a lightning bolt, but there was no clouds. But it wasnt the kind of light that blinded me, it was just really strange. I didnt think much of it then, but i me and my said what the fuck was that. And we had no idea, had never seen or heard of anything like it. The other wierd thing was that there was no sound whatsoever.

All lights except one appear as white on video.local ufo research group canot explain the image on the video but agree it is not an aircraft of any recognisable type.

u.f.o. seen at 0015hours e.s.t brisbane australia.craft definately NOT conventional plane/balloon/satellite or a joke.

craft seen in night sky travelling s.e. to n.e. (approx). Height approx 3/5 thousand feeet. moving very fast. craft first seen as an orange glow, first impression was either an aircraft or some kind of firework/sky rocket. image captured on video camera for 1minute 5seconds. zoom was used as the craft was a few kilometers away. zoom enhanced image and shows clearly two clusters of lights both belonging to the same craft. light clusters appear to be "windows" with a large area of black seperating them. there are some lights which blink but these are definately NOT conventional aircraft navigation lights, this has been verified by the local UFO Research group. ( who are also unable to identify the craft and want very much to have a copy of the video )Object was filmed against night sky , however there are stars clearly seen in the background. Object was filmed as it was departing, so video taken is from the rear. I am not sure what you mean by asking for a description of the background/s of the observer/s but I am interpreting that as information about myself.....I am a psychology student..46 years of age and NOT given to lying . I am frustrated at trying to get anyone to take my video and statement seriously...the local tv channel has however, shown some interest but I think their sincerity at discovering the truth about the craft is spurious.I am getting no-where reprting this event here in Australia hence the reason why I am reporting the event to you.

OK, this, I'm sure wasn't a UFO - but I found a link, and I thought I'd share it anyway... I had just got home and was locking my car door when I noticed some bright flashes - lightening - I wanted to see how far away it was. I just missed a flash, so I kept looking in the Northerly direction. Then from NW to NE a fireball arched across the sky. It was unlike the Leonids (i.e. it wasn't fuzzy and greenish/blue) it was white/yellow and a bit broke of it and fell quicker... i.e. it went down (like it hit resistance in the air) instead of with the rest of the fireball to the NE... Basically I think it was space junk - but I thought I might report it anyway!

Black triangle showed up at my house

In approx 1999 I was awoken in the night and was drawn to my window that looked out onto a couple of acres of yard. I pulled the curtain and looked up to the sky and waited. Not long later I seen the clouds being lit up to look like a hurricane and a very large triangle craft with 3 white lights and a mesmerising reddish centre came down to my back yard. I panicked and ran out the front door and made it to the front gate before I had to turn and see the alien and a military dressed man (I was transfixed by the eyes but remember a uniform). The alien told me telepathicaly "we are not here for you" and next thing I'm back in bed with dirty feet. I seen this alien appear in the night when I was young (when my dad died).

Duration: 45 sec.
No of observers: 0

Location: Brisbane (QLD, Australia), , Australia

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams

Circular beams of light decended through the cloud, rotating, then did a pitch and yaw manouver before ascending again

I live in Brisbane , Australia and was driving back there from the Gold Coast heading north and it was pre-dawn with no other cars around. I noticed that the big cumulo-nimbus cloud in front of me suddenly lit up.

As I looked up, I saw about six or seven circular beams of light decending down through the cloud. They were all in a perfect circle and rotating counter clockwise (from a ground perspective). They fanned out away from each other slightly. They took up most of the whole cloud...very big...it was hard to estimate the size of the source, but it was quite large and the lights would have had to have been very strong to penetrate that far. I know because I have been a Professional Commercial Photographer for over 25 years.

The object was behind the cloud because the light source was strongest at the top and disipated as it fell through the cloud....I would guess a couple of hundred feet below the cloud. During this time the lights continued to rotate at an even moderate rate.

After I had viewed this for around 20 seconds, the whole thing, still rotating, did a pitch and yaw manouver and then slowly ascended back vertically, lighting up the whole cloud again as it departed.

The size and behaviour of the light source ruled out any aircraft that I know as I have worked in very many aircraft and helicopters.

Although at no time did I see the object itself, the combination of vertical movement, rotation and pitch & yaw was most unusual. As a photographer, I know that the light was decending through the cloud and not reflected from the ground or from any other source.

Strange lights over Brisbane

this sighting was based mainly on the coast, i was on the bayside of brisbane, however film was taken north, also on the coast.....as i was driving home we noticed people stopped by the side of the road...looking up....when we also did we noticed bright lights in the sky that looked nothing like we had seen before, as i wanted my family to also see this we continued to my home and woke the whole house up, we then spent about an hour on the veranda watching the lights we saw in the sky, there were about 17 of them making a formation and some them moving slowly away, some seemed quite low and i thought if you were under them they would seem quite large.....some seemed to shoot off and dissapear....what they did in the air was not like any normal aircraft.....our news the following night a Saturday reported strange lights in the sky overnight...no explanation.....just STRANGE LIGHTS OVER BRISBANE LAST NIGHT. I have lived with this for many years and have still not had someone who can explain. I now often look to the sky hoping to see it again as it was the most amazing thing I have experienced and if I hadnt of seen would remain a sceptic today.

Location: Brisbane (near) (Queensland, Australia), , Australia

Shape:


Summary : Five hours plus interaction with an "invisible entity". Four persons directly in contact. Two peripheral witnesses. Numerous physical traces left behind. Injuries to three participants. Huge Orange light observed over property.

THIS IS NOT A UFO SIGHTING Nil ufo seen by four main participants. Three of the party are business people, one is a housewife. I am an ex Police Officer and currently own my own business. I employ approx. 25 staff, am a designer and work with extreme detail. The incident involved an interaction with an " invisible electrical entity" over a period of approx. 5 hours that we are aware of and possibly longer. Four tangible hard artifacts remain, many other less tangible items are also involved. Injuries to three members of the party include symptoms similar to slight radiation poisoning, burns and scarring, massive headaches, personality changes, massive tinnitus to three witnesses which commenced spontaneously and at the same approx. time. All attempts to investigate the incident have come to a dead-end in Australia. This includes approaches to the Services, C.S.I.R.O, academia generally and to many of the local UFO and Paranormal Organisations. I would appreciate any assistance forthcoming from the U.S.A. or any other reputable source to allow me to continue my investigations.

Bright light

It happened while I was in the kitchen cooking, my friend and her daughter whom I shared a house with at the time were in the living room sitting on a sofa watching TV, the kitchen in this house is open plan. While I opened the refrigerator door to get something a white light filled the house, it was so bright I couldn't see anything while looking into the refrigerator. After about 5 seconds the light disappeared. My friend and her daughter were in shock as was I. The light was not like any light we had seen before. It was dark outside so we knew the light didn't come from the sun. The blinds were all closed in the house, so we knew if wasn't coming from a window. The strangest thing was the feeling we all had. All of a sudden we all knew many things. We started talking about what we knew, and it all matched. It was very emotional. We all cried. We were all physically shaken. We all of a sudden understood life and existence. We all of a sudden knew many things and understood everything. Since then our lives have all changed dramatically. In good ways. We had a cat, her name was Marilyn. She didn't come home that night. The next morning we discovered her dead body on the sidewalk. Her body was not damaged. We buried her not knowing why she died. She was in perfect health at the time. We knew that Marilyn's death had something to do with the light. The light filled the house like a heavy object. It was not just light, it was something filled with knowledge, emotion and feelings that are not of this world.

Duration: 1 minute or so
No of observers: 1

Location: Brisbane (QLD, Australia), , Australia

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Bright white lights in the sky in formation of square. 9 lights in 3 rows of 3.

It was back in about 1992 or 1993, i was only about 7 or 8 years old. My bedroom was at the front of the house, and there were doors that opened out to the balcony. There was a park accross the road from where we lived. The light was above and kinda in between tree tops. I was in my parents room which also joins onto the balcony and i was walking on the balcony to my bedroom when i noticed a formation of lights.

The formation was 3 rows of 3 lights in a square formation.The lights were extremely bright white coloured. I have always believed in Aliens and soon as i saw this i was terrified and went to my room. The lights were not moving and appeared to be to high in the sky.

Since then i have always wished that i told my parents to come and look and stayed and observed for longer.

There appeared to be no noise apparent.

I am attaching a drawing that i did in paint that is quite similar to what i saw.

It might have been more than 9 lights but i am pretty sure thats right.

Date is approximate. We have arbitrarily assigned a date in January 1993 so the report sorts to that year. PD

NUFORC UFO Sighting 24072
Occurred: 1983-04-15 21:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2002-07-31 11:06 Pacific
Duration: 1 1/2 hours
No of observers: 2

Location: Brisbane (QLD, Australia), , Australia

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

A brilliant blue-white light performs amazing acrobatics for an hour and a half over the city of Brisbane.

Brilliant pulsing blue-white light (like burning magnesium) passed directly over apartment building and began incredible acrobatics across the Brisbane night sky for an hour and a half before heading due west towards the outback. At times the light divided to become two, three or four separate lights of different colours, and at other times it threw off lights like flares. The craft took up space that was normally active with take-offs and landings from Brisbane Airport, however for the duration of the event, no other aircraft were seen. A half hour after the light disappeared over the Great Dividing Range, a fleet of five or six black helicopters came from behind the mountains, and roughly retraced the pathway of the light. Only after the helicopters left did flights from the airport resume. There was absolutely NO media coverage of this event.



NUFORC Note:

Date is approximate. One of two interesting reports from same source. We will attempt to contact sources in Brisbane to inquire whether they know anything about it. PD

NUFORC UFO Sighting 35503
Occurred: 1982-04-20 20:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2004-03-10 10:24 Pacific
Duration: approx: hour and a half
No of observers: 3

Location: Brisbane (QLD, Australia), , Australia

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Emitted other objects, Aircraft nearby

Object breaks into parts followed by military helicopters.

A lady telephoned me and wanted to report a sighting she and another had in Brisbane, Australia back in 1982. She was living in a two story apartment building which was located on top of a hill and had been living there for eighteen months. Also the building they lived in was right over top of the flight path for their major airport. The jet airliners would come in very low and the lady said it almost felt as if the wheels of these aircraft were skimming across the roof. So she was used to hearing and seeing the large aircraft fly over her home.

One evening the couple felt a vibration which was different from the normal aircraft. Actually the vibration traveled straight through their bodies. Thinking something was not right they went to their living room window which had a beautiful view of the city. What they saw was certainly unusual. The brightest object passed right overhead. The witness told me that it looked like burning magnesium as this was the best example the lady was able to think of. Whatever it was, was extremely large and very bright. The woman said it was a brilliant blue/white in color and it was blinking, or pulsating off and on. When it pulsed off they were not able to see anything until the light returned and it was only the bright light which was seen.

As it moved slowly through the night sky the object came to a stop over southern Brisbane. It was at this point high up in the sky it again disappeared due to the light going out and when the light returned the object was in a completely different location. It all happened so quickly they wondered how it was possible that any craft was able to move so fast and so far away from it's last location. This continued for some time, blinking off and on and again appearing in a different part of the sky. The lady said they watched the object for an hour and a half. Just before it left the airspace it was in, the object split into two separate lights. Both of them were now blinking on and off and the colors were amazing she said. She also added the object was shooting off what looked like flares and again these were colored as well. After a short time the two parts joined into one large object again then split into four pieces and now throwing off a large number of what they described as colored flares. Once again all the four separate parts came together forming one large brilliant object and started flying westward towards the desert. The witness said it was very exciting to watch from their veranda.

The lady went on to say they knew it wasn't anything that mankind had as she knew of no technology that would be able to perform the aerial acrobatics this object had done that night in a split second.

Something interesting the lady also mentioned was that the international airport had flights arriving and departing approximately every fifteen minutes. She said for the whole time the object sat over Brisbane there was not a flight to be seen coming or going or flying above. As the lady reported above..... the object left, heading west into the desert over the Great Dividing Mountain Range. She was so excited at what she had seen she could not go to bed. It was a warm night so she sat looking toward the mountain where the object had headed. Approximately thirty minutes after the object was out of her sight a group of lights appeared in the distance where the object was last seen. The lights were coming closer and it appeared that they were following the same track the object was traveling, just back tracking. As the lights drew closer and then passed right over top of their apartment the woman was able to see and hear what these objects were. There were four or five military helicopters that were flying in overhead.

After the helicopters passed by and out of her sight the normal air traffic resumed their flights.

The witness called the airport the following day and the folks there denied that something had taken place the night before. There was nothing in the local newspapers or on radio or television. The folks wondered if they had been the only ones watching the drama unfold in the skies that night. They never did find out what it was or find any other people who may have watched the same event.

Thank you to the witness for the report.
