light in sky projecting "beam".

My girlfriend and I were outside in a hot tub watching the sky. We had seen 3 or 4 meteorites which had left brief ionised trails. As we got out I was explaining the effect when I noticed what looked like a large trail above us. I told her that we must have just missed a big one [The tub is on the "dark side" of the house, that is the side opposite the distant lights of Melbourne, so there was virtually no light pollution]. As I dried myself I was surprised to see the "trail" was still visible, so I walked out to see the end of it, which was behind the house. I saw a light which looked like it was shining a beam {the trail}. As I watched it started moving to the east, accelerating as it went until it dissappeared behind some trees. It was hard to tell how high it was or how fast it moved. I didn't hear any sound coming from it.

Light darting around over resevoir

My girlfriend and I were walking along the dam wall at the local resevoir. There was no moon and there are no lights around. Our eyes had become accustomed to the low light and we walked to a lookout. On the way back I looked over the resevoir and saw a light dart up then down below the range of hills in the distance. I stopped walking and watched and it flew up again, hovered with a shaking motion, then "hid" again. The object had a white light on the front, a red light on the bottom and a flashing yellow light on the back. At all times it was silent.

I drew my lady friends attention to the distance and it obligingly darted into view again. It didn't seem to be affected by inertia and when stationary, seemed to shake as if it was between two repelling magnets. At one stage it dissapeared behind the range of hills and a vivid red light lit up the trees on the ridge as if they were on fire. Then it flew up, darted round then flew down to the water. A bright red light eminated from the front of it, not a beam, more like ambient light. After a couple of minutes it flew up again and started moving in our direction. It started off about 2/3 kms away and got to a few hundred metres away before I decided to leave. There was a feeling of danger and were glad to go, despite my curiosity.

One of the strangest things about the event was that as we left the house to start our midnight ramble, I had a feeling that we would see something and I said as much to my girlfriend.
