NUFORC UFO Sighting 123070
Occurred: 2015-10-21 20:00 Local
Reported: 2015-10-23 15:32 Pacific
Duration: ~15 seconds
No of observers: 0

Location: Rockhampton (~ 70kms S of; on Bruce Highway) (Australia), , Australia

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

I was driving on the Bruce Highway (also known as the National Hwy A1) south near Mt Larcom Queensland around 20:00 and noticed two green lights very high in the sky above and in front of me. I initially thought it was a plane preparing to land at Rockhampton, which was about 70 kms behind me. As I kept looking up (between watching the road), I realised that the lights were stationary and just “hanging” there. After a minute or two I had driven too far to observe them from my front windscreen any more.

Then, about five minutes later I observed what appeared to be a motorcycle headlight on high beam coming up behind me on the highway. It approached very fast again making me think it was a motorcycle. The light was extremely bright as it approached and only took seconds to travel from way back behind me to a point just behind my car where I noticed that it looked to be about as large around as a basketball or perhaps slightly bigger and intensely bright white. I was looking back and forth at the road in front of me and in my rear-view mirrors at the light expecting it to pass me when it just went dark. There was no turnoff and nothing passed me – it was just gone.

I pondered what had just happened for several hours as I continued to drive home and resolved to report it as a UFO.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 110041
Occurred: 2014-05-02 02:40 Local
Reported: 2014-06-07 21:07 Pacific
Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Rockhampton (Rockhampton), , Australia

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted other objects, Changed Colo

Low flying black shadow triangle in Queensland, Australia.

I was standing outside on a one storey high verandah at a motel. I was facing south about 1km from the Rockhampton QLD CBD. Directly in front of me about 2-3 km away I noticed a dark (black) shape moving through the sky. It was triangular and insubstantial, more like a shadow than an object. It was approximately 100m above the buildings and was approximately the size of a city block 120m wide and 100 long at the point of the triangle. I could see the stars through the object which seemed to shimmer like a heat haze behind it. It was totally silent.

The object travelled in a shallow arc from directly ahead towards my location. It passed by about 50m away (the other side of a four lane road) to my left. I lost sight of the object due to the roof of the verandah above my head.

It travelled low in the sky no more than 200m high and travelled the distance in less than 1 minute although it appeared to be travelling very slowly. Intermittently it separated into three separate smaller triangles with dull whitish, yellowish lights which switched places but still within the outline of the larger triangle shape. It had reformed into one large triangle (still shadowy) when it passed over head to my left.

I did not have time to get my camera.

This is my third UFO sighting and is the only one that caused me to feel fear due to its proximity, its trajectory, size, and shadowy nature.

it was rectangle black and fast

It was a monday night about 11pm me and my friend were outside when we heard a weird screeching sound. We looked up and saw 2 lights. At first we thought it was a plane but then it stopped and just hovered above us. I ran inside and got a high voltage torch and pointed at the object it was a rectangle and was spinning in circles. It sat hovering for about another 10mins and then as quick as it had come it was gone.
