3rd of June 2006, at 17:45, location Q,L,,D Australia Cairns Table lands Yungaburra, Oval shape, Photos taken of objects in the sky

Taking photos of sunset at approx 5:45pm facing North west direction with a Casio Digital camera 5.0 mega Pixels. Took 3 photo's that point in the same direction trying to get the best shot. There is a mountain which is apart of the 7 sisters which I was informed were volcanic. I was using this mountain in my photos for the effect and it is approx 1-2 km away.

With the last photo taken, I looked into the Veiw Finder and saw an object that appeared to glow and an oval shape with a dome on the top. When I took the photo I did see a object move but by the time I looked up after taking the photo no objects were seen. No Noise was noted during the time of taking the photographs and the day was clear of cloud cover with no wind. ( small amount of clound at the base of the mountain) I showed the phtotgraph to my Wife and then also to the people who owned the accomadation we stayed at the following day.

I develpoed the photo's that I took the next day and came aware that with each photo I took there were objects in each frame. The second photo I took has 3 objects heading sky wards which are also oval shape and have a metalic look about them. They seem to be following each other back up towards the sky from the mountain.

Also another 3 in the same photo which are higher in the sky and have a different shape which is hard to explain. There is also another few objects that you can see when you zoom into the photo, and I do not recall seeing any stars at that time of day.

Duration: 15 minutes

Location: Cairns (Australia), , Australia

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

three lighted object hovering down the street

I thought I was looking at the crane across the road at a building site at night time. There is a crane and there is a light on It (for aircraft I suppose). This light was moving. Thought strange the crane operating at night-then I realised, the light was moving-2 white lights and one amber-the amber was in the middle. It hovered across the building site- down the road, and then across the street-it seemed so close-but after I thought surely I would see a shape of some kind-then it seemes so far away. I stopped a guy on the street and asked him what he thought-he was just as perplexed, but less interested. I do know this was not a plane...I don't know what it was. It was silent.

Reported: 2003-12-08 01:35 Pacific
Duration: 5 mins
No of observers: 5

Location: Cairns (QLD, Australia), , Australia

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Red Star like object that changes color flies at intense high speed in zigzag direction and circular motion.

I was at a friends place playing computer games when her parents yelled out from the balcony outside that theres a UFO outside.

The sky looked really weird and eeria as it was cloudy and the clouds were sort of reddish in color.

That was when i saw a red starlike object flying at tremendous speed in a zigzag direction. It was kind of pulsating and changing its color to white and yellow.

It flew toward our direction and when it was finally over us it kinda stopped and started moving in a circular/spiral motion right on top of us as if it was looking down on us until it got covered up by clouds.

It wouldnt be an aircraft as it seemed to be outside the atmosphere like a big red star. And no planes can fly that fast (like a speed of a shooting star in zigzag direction).

I had goosebumps all over my body all the time I was watching it with a few friends.

What could it be?

Duration: 10mins
No of observers: 1

Location: Cairns (QLD, Australia), , Australia

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

I remember it was close to Christmas and I had preyed to God for months and months every night to please do something about my abusive father as he had threatened to kill my mother and if it wasn't for my quick thinking she would be dead. Anyway, I was 8 years old and angry at God for giving me such a father. I went to bed praying and wishing for a better father and a barbie bus and barbies for Christmas. I was awoken by a very dull humming noise, although when I awoke I could not hear it at all. I sat bolt upright and there right outside my window was a huge disc shaped object hovering very low. The middle bit where all the windows were seemed to revolve around and I could see people walking around inside. My first reaction was one of immediate fear and then an overwhelming sense of love and security surrounded me and moments later I found myself at the back door trying to find the key to get out and into the backyard to go with them. I actually had the key in the door and the door open when a voice inside my head told me to stop for the sake of my mother. You see she slept in my room as my father used to rape her if she slept in the same bed and I was worried if I was gone in the morning she would get the blame and the beating for it. I closed the door and locked it and raced back to my room to find the craft still in the same position and when I looked out the window at it I could hear them communicating with me in their mind saying don't be frightened we won't hurt you. Come with us. To this I told them that I was afraid for my mother and I said I wanted to get married and have children first and they said that they would come back for me one day. The disc shaped object lifted slightly and noislessly before moving towards the mountains where it seemed to move rapidly and dart sideways. I tried to wake mum to tell her but I couldn't wake her,which is unusual as she is a super light sleeper. I told my sister 15 years later and a few people but no-one really believed me except my sister, and my husband. There were red lights on the underside of the craft and the craft itself was a metallic white in colour.

Location: Yorkeys Knob (North of Cairns) (QLD, Australia)), , Australia

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

1 slow moving UFO rising from East (ocean) to West, on straight path, rectangular/cylindrical shape.

At the time I resided at a house on Deauville Close, Yorkeys Knob, (near Cairns), Queensland, Australia. I remember I was in primary school, but I can't remember the exact date of the event, I'm pretty sure it happened in 1980, but I'm not sure of the day/month. It was in the evening, my family was having dinner, I was late & they were calling me for dinner. I was looking out my bedroom window, I liked to look at the stars at night, the blocks next door were vacant bushland and I had a good view of the stars. We lived on the beachfront, there were some dunes covered in scrub between our house and the beach. I remember this event so clearly, it haunts me, at the time I was mesmerised by it. I called out to my family - "mum, dad, come look, there's a UFO!" They didn't come, they were eating, and laughed at me from the other room. To this day my family still sometimes recall my "story" and still make fun of me. If only they had seen what I saw that night. The UFO did not look like any picture of a UFO that I've seen - it was a different shape altogether. It rose from over the low bushland near the sea, I first saw it when it was about 10 or 20 metres above the ground, I watched it come in from the East/sea, and it moved along a straight path westward, slowly rising. It seemed to fly so amazingly low, near my house it seemed to fly above the block next door (that I was looking toward from my bedroom window), my bedroom was on ground floor, and the UFO seemed only about twice the height of the black wattle tree next door - probably only 20 to 40 metres up in the air - I couldn't beleive how close it was. Somehow it then continued it's path westward, gliding more towards the south west gently, getting higher and higher, it rose over the tall trees of the swamp at the southern end of the cul-de-sac, and I could no longer see it over the horizon of trees/swamp. It glided along a smooth straight path the whole time, and it moved so slowly. I don't know exactly how fast it moved, it seemed like the pace of someone pedalling along on a bike, maybe 2 minutes? It seemed forever, but I think that was because of the mind bending experience. As for the UFO's appearance - it was NOT a saucer. There were no little green men. I did not seen any aliens at all. But it had a soft glow around it. The outer seemed greyish, but my eyes were focused in it's front face - you could see into the front of it, but all I could see was a light pale soft yellow colour, there was no detail. It was cylindrical in shape - the same sort of shape as a rectangle, but with rounded edges, and not very deep. It was smooth all over, rounded at the corners, and I could only see into the front, I don't remember seeing into the back (it was a long time ago). The shape was sort of like this (it was rectangular, like a long/thin/wide cylinder, kind of a cigar shape from the side, but rectangular if looked at from the top or bottom): Side view: --------- | | --------- Front view: ----- ( ) ----- Underside or top view: --------- | | | | --------- That's the best sort of scale I can get using typed characters! Remember it was smooth in shape and edges were round, not sharp. But the front view did have notably rounded sides, like the '()' characters. To this day I know I saw it, but I doubt myself all the time and it has messed with my self confidence as a result, I was double check things that I do now as a result. But I know what I saw was a UFO. It also made NO sound, which was spooky as it was so close to the ground and my house, it made no noise at all.

Shape: Cigar


7/ 74 - Cairns Ql d. Australia - Cigar - 1hr - Watched silver ship stationary in sky for 1hr then took off at great speed into the dis

I have kept this a secret for almost 35yrs, only telling family and occasional friend and thought it was time to disclose what we saw on a long deserted beach in a place far north of our state of Queensland called Cairns.

I was on holiday with my ex-husband up in Cairns and we decided to go to the beach for an hour or two. As there are many beaches up North and it was not a holiday season, we were the only ones on the beach that day. We laid out our towels to sunbath for awhile and when I laid down, I looked up to the sky to the left and I saw what I thought was a plane with the sun reflecting off it and paid no attention. Approximately 10mins later I looked up again and it was still there and being a little bit surprised, I told my then partner and we both watched it and it did not move! I started to get nervous and said to him that I was scared and that we should go, but my partner said not to be silly and that it was too far away and it couldn’t harm us. I then said well it can’t be of this world and perhaps they were watching us and I wanted to leave, but he said for us just to watch it and see what happens, so we did even though I was scared.

We watch this ship that I originally thought was a plane for approx. one hour and then it just shot off to the right and into the distance at incredible speed and disappeared.

I say that it was cigar shape, only because it was a fair distance away and at first I thought it was a plane, all I can say for sure is that it was long and silver and stayed in the one spot for a least an hour that we were there, so it could have been there for some time before we arrived and when it disappeared, it shot off at incredible speed.

I thought after all these years that I should tell someone, because at the time we didn’t know who to report it to and thought that we would be ridiculed.
