3 Disc like crafts sighted on the eve of 2013 in Brisbane area Australia.

Hi, I live in Capalaba Qld in Australia. Me and my wife had a couple of friends around to celebrate New Year's Eve with us. Shortly after 10pm we ran out of coke so me and my friend decided to walk to the BP service station which is just behind our house.

As we made our way we observed 2 orange lights steadily moving from the direction of Victoria point towards the back of our house. I am unsure if the light was actual light of the moon light reflecting on the surface of the crafts. They did not flash or make any noise (but did seem to shimmer slightly) and maintained the same distance from each other constantly. As they moved out of sight one of the lights faded away. When we returned my wife and My friends partner told us they had seen them too but observed 3 lights instead of 2. We didn't know what to think and left it at that.

But, shortly after midnight, about 12:04 we saw the lights again, 3 of them in a triangular formation coming from the same direction. Again they moved so silently and softly maintaining the same distance from each other. We were facing towards Victoria point with a clear sky and the moon bright and up to our left. It was when these objects moved underneath the moon that we were convinced that they were alien crafts. The light from the moon cast down on top of them revealing three huge disc shaped crafts with what appeared to be a hard metallic surface. It was hard to tell how high they were but they seemed quite low. Possibly the height a news chopper would fly at.

I can say with up most certainty that they were not planes or helicopters, hot air balloons, weather balloons or any other man made craft. I have seen all of these things numerous times throughout my life and they look nothing like what we saw that night.

Feel free to ask me any questions that you may have about our sighting.

Kind Regards

Three pink/orange spheres spotted over Cleveland, Queensland, Australia

Cleveland, Queensland, Australia - 29th July 2012 - 18:40.

I was out in the backyard tending to our dogs when I looked up and noticed one pink/orange light in the sky. It was moving more slowly than the planes that I often see above my suburban estate and was not blinking or flashing the way plane lights do. It was an hour past sundown so the sky was dark and there were stars out and light cloud here and there. As I watched it head from the north east towards the south-west I saw two other lights, that were exactly the same as the first, come into my field of view from behind the tall trees two streets away. The first light stopped and seemed to wait for the other two lights which slid into place behind and either side of the first, forming the three points of a triangle, before all three began to move slowly south-west together. They emitted no sound that we were able to perceive.

I called my mother out to watch them and she agreed how strange they were. She said it looked like the head lights and wing lights of a very, very large yet invisible plane, such was the unformity of their movement ( see points below for vague illustration of position).

After continuing south-west for about three minutes the lights seemed to stop dead and I felt like they were watching us. Mum (who's in her seventies) went back inside, bewildered and I went in to grab my camera. When I returned less than a minute later, there was no sign of them. They may have disappeared into the light cloud but should have eventually come out however they didn't in the next 20 minutes I watched for them. I did notice that an aircraft did enter into the zone from which the second and third spheres had first originated in the 20 minutes after our sighting. This patch of sky is not on any of the flight paths that extend over and around my house. I have lived here for six years and am regularly in the backyard at night smoking cigarettes so I know the traffic of the sky here very well and these lights were like nothing I have ever seen.

I am willing to entertain the idea that they may have been Chinese lanterns, as apparently they move with the absolute uniformity possessed by the lights we saw, and the wind was out of the ENE that evening, which would mean they were heading with the wind. Also no other sightings of these lights have been reported which, given the time, leads me to believe they were local and lends credence to the Chinese lantern theory. However, there was absolutely no flickering or wavering of the lights of any kind. They were a solid orange with a light pink haze surrounding them. I'm not sure whether that is how Chinese lanterns are perceived by observers. If it is, then the mystery is solved, but if not, these lights were indeed UFOs.
