Sphere on video changes course and speed in the vicinity of commercial aircraft. 50x mag digital telescope with UV filters

Attempting to manually film commercial aircraft landing at Melbourne Airport with Digital telescope Seestar which has 50x magnification and UV filters. The live video presents directly on to my iPhone and is also saved on the telescope hard drive. I manually moved the telescope to capture the flight path, hence the video jerk. The sphere was climbing and changed course and accelerated as the aircraft appears at the bottom of the screen. It appears from the left of screen and I have analysed the video and it passes behind light cloud on occasions. The original video was quite long (waiting for the aircraft) which I reduced in size using the phone cropping tool

Giant black triangle, really high in the space. It can be confused with stars (3 stars really symmetrical) with one light more bright

I was on the beach with my girlfriend, lying on the sand. She started staring at a star for several minutes, then she started moving in circles, then stopped moving, around 11:30 p.m. The star seems to be quite far away. To the left of the bright star, there are two small stars following the brightest one. It forms a perfect triangle, you can see the lines of it, as if you were seeing the underside of a ship, slightly of a different color
.
At first, it seemed like the brightest star was moving by itself, then we noticed that the other two stars were moving at the same time. The triangle can move forward and backward, and rotate from right to left. The brightest light was not blinking, but had very slight variations in brightness.

At first, it seems like they're moving in circles, but more often than not, the movements are linear to the right, then suddenly it changes direction in a zigzag pattern, or goes back, again, and again, and again, at different speeds.
At one point, they started moving really fast to the right randomly, and then suddenly stopped moving. It made me shiver, it seemed so surreal.

We both see it moving at the same time, and in the same direction.

At the distance it was, the triangle must have been several hundred meters in perimeter, or even kilometers. You can easily mistake the lights for stars if you're not careful, but once you spotted the triangle by the brightest light, it was pretty easy to find it in the sky.

If we stretch out our arm and look through our fingers, the triangle looks so far away, that we spread our fingers about 5cm to 7cm. We don't think it's a drone, or a plane or something like that given the movements of it and the way it moves in space.

We decide to go back around 1am because it's starting to get cold and we're tired. Then we went back out around 5am to see if it was still there, we didn't find it.

Two craft of the same shape with orange glow in centre, flew immensely fast over the city before dissapearing behind shooting star

Standing outside for a cigarette I was star gazing on this particularly clear night when (from the south west, headed north east straight overhead) two distinct triangular shaped objects with an orange glow in their centre (most likely a reflection of the citys lights as it was that same copper/orange tinge, possibly lights on object) soared overhead from one side of the sky to the other before dissapearing behind an incredibly timed and impossibly placed shooting star.

I suspect a drone craft of some kind the way the two flew in formation, perfectly matching incredible speeds, dead silent in the night.

(As if perhaps there should've been a third?)

Regardless of whether it was a government drone or an advanced craft.
I was left stunned, speechless, and in tears with all hairs standing on end.
They were close enough to see, so maybe a comercial airliner altitude, but the speed they had was twice to three times that of a sattelite, combined with their dissapearing behind the only shooting star I've seen in weeks (habitual ciggy break taker of the outdoors at night)

I was looking outside the window from my bedroom when I saw the object come into view

Was looking outside my window on a regular evening when the object came into view. I was staring at it for I would say one minute before I processed what I was witnessing. I quickly took out my phone and recorded the object. The object was a disc like donut with a ovule shape around one part of the donut. It was grey in colour and was spinning round in circles and moved on an angle. The object appeared to be moving rather fast. The object was much closer before I recorded it and had travelled further into the distant rather quickly. The object eventually flew off.

Went outside and noticed a strange object in sky so started videotaping

I went outside at 3:11am - 3:36am. I noticed a white blob shaped object in the sky not too far away. It didn’t look like anything else in the sky and I had never seen anything like this before. It was flitting around, changing size quite often. It would get bright and then go dull. It was like it was hovering and slowly moving towards where I was, but extremely slow. It seemed to have two prominent lights and then several others that would go on and off. When you zoom into the photos I took you notice the different shapes. It always stayed a white colour. To the naked eye it seemed like it was just floating but in the video you could see it jumping around quite a lot. I did not notice that with just the naked eye. Sometimes it disappeared for a few seconds then would return. I have several photos and 3 videos.

Location: melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Location details: bright light (1), size of a star, moving south to north, with variations. directly above clear sky,

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

Not moving in a directly straight path. Took to long to be aircraft, very bright light. Watched movements 10 minutes.

OK, to start with--i am not a nut, i have always been of the mind ,that we have strange happenings in our skies and on our ground. Several years ago in the 1960's, I experieced a very very bright blinding white light, following me, while driving my utility in new south wales, Australia. It was getting to dusk, I moved faster with my vehicle ,but it came closer and brighter -even blinding in my r/v/mirror, illuminating the inside of my truck, I was about to pull off the road, and it just 'disappeared', unfortunately I was alone, sober, and cannot, and did not sustanciate what I had seen to anyone.

All the years since I have been skeptical, about ufo.s. I have seen other anomalies in our skies, but put it to one side, of my memory. TODAY,
THIS, very bright single light (spot), was seen, from my house verandah while I was enjoying a little warmth and sun,( no I was not tired or asleep, or any other form of "coud have " situation). I did not have sun glasses on, but I live in an area with many aircaft passing my home on the regular flight routes and paths east to west. BUT , this object seen today was NOT an aircaft of our sorts. I could only see this very bright (like led brightness), very high in the sky,(no sound whatsoever), I did think it was an aircraft just going on a normal roote, it was very slow moving,and for a while seemed to be in a straight line.

THE light was the size of a medium star, but no fading or dimming, I tried to see beyond this light and it seemed to have something behind the light .. Not very visible from so far away. After about 5 minutes travelling from south to north, in very clear blue skies ,with occasional whisps of cloud , not moving very much. I did notice that at some time the cloud shielded the light ,for just a few moments, I considerd this, as some clouds higher than the craft, and other clouds lower than the craft. NOW,THE LIGHT STOPPED MOVING,! Momentary, then appeared to divert to the right,( towards the area of the airport (tullamarine),not much !, then change back to a "varied path movement," NOT consistent with any aircraft movements we woud ever see here in oz.

The light continued to the north until a cloud covered it and it was also deminished in size and brightness, obviously because it was getting further away from my sight. ALL this took over 10 minutes, and I know from experience that a NORMAL, aircraft would have been gone long before this 'craft. THIS WAS NOT A BALOON, nor a bird or any other sort of known craft…I shall be more dilligent in future and have my binoculars handy , a camera would have been too hazy as this was a long way up there! I would appreciate some sort of reply ,and wonder if anyone else saw what I was seeing ! Thanks , male, "concscientious objector".

Little bit about myself. I never used to believe in ufo. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and and can provide certification for authentication of my studies and qualifications, but in my life of 38 years I have never seen anything like this it didn't make any sound at all not even the sound of air being pushed out of its way as it flew over my house ,it was quite, very quiet and i focused my attention but no sound just like a helium balloon, but this Matte Silver Sphere was moving fast i know this because there is a flight path for passenger aircraft right above my property and I know how they fly over, I have lived here for 12 years and often spend time at the backyard so I'm very familiar with the different aircraft that may fly over but this Sphere was at least twice the height of the planes regular flight path of the passenger Planes but three times faster with NO WINGS, NO PROPELLER, NO SOUND and NO Duct or Jets it was plain and sleek but somewhat still a round Sphere shaped, it went straight like it was on an invisible track like it was being pulled by a force rather then propelling towards it, and it also didn't generate low pressure or higher pressure areas because there was no disturbance in the atmosphere behind the Sphere shaped flying object but it was going fast it should have made a sound or something im no scientist or a tripper i witnessed this thanks to a friend whom pointed it out, I googled the sphere and after seeing the exact same thing that the pentagon confirmed a ufo I thought if ld raise my voice because people don't understand the true severity of it and can't accept it anyway hope this helps someone or something but no bull I actually seen a ufo I believe there is technology we don't even known of yet as public..

Gliding across the night sky with no sound at all , very slow motion, encircled with what appears as bright white stars

I saw a solid craft as large as a commercial airplane but this was not a plane. It made no sound at all and came from the east gliding across the night sky flying low to the west direction. It was an advanced craft which does not fit into the category of our technological capabilities. It was surrounded by bright lights which appeared like white stars. I remember counting these stars and they were circling the craft as it was moving silently. It did not see any navigation lights at all and remember thinking this craft must be using some kind of cloaking device for it to be flying so low to the ground and not having the entire countries Air Force following it. Nothing I have seen like it before or after. This could not be a figment of my imagination nor some hallucination as it was definitely a solid object with advanced technology way beyond current technology. I watched it until it was no longer clearly visible and when for what appeared to be 5 minutes but my sense of time is very poor and could be 15 minutes at the most.

Star-like Object(s) Begin flying at high speeds, making remarkable turns, accelerating and coming to a hault instantly.

At about 8:20, driving to [LOCATION], my dad and i look up into the sky, seeing a supposed star, shining unusably bright. As we are able to see the object more clearly, it makes a sharp and unpredicted dash downwards then at extremely fast speeds, goes in a straight line North-East. Later that night, I went onto a navigation app. The trajectory of the UFO was directly lined up with a military/army base in New South Wales, neighbouring state to Victoria. Other people that night had also seen these UFOs. They were not too sure what the objects were but most said they were possibly meteorites.

Meteorite turns into ball of light. Lands metres from me in street.

This happened a few months ago, and I've been trying to get my head around it since. Definitely not like anything I've even heard of before. I'd seen weird shit in the sky before but man, was this different.

It was about 6.15pm and I had just left my house to drive to the swimming pools. Daylight savings had recently ended so it was already very dark. I got to the end of my street, about 400m from my house when I saw it.

To give you an idea of what was around me, I was at a small cross shaped intersection. There is a small street about 80m in length, directly across from the road I was on, right next to an apartment building.

Next thing I know, before I turned left, I see what looked like a shooting star (meteorite) flying rapidly across the sky towards the horizon. Now, one of my worst fears has always been seeing a meteor hit earth and kill us all. So my immediate reaction was, "Holy fuck. That's way too bright and going for way too long to just be a meteorite. This might be the end." It travelled across the sky for a good 3 or 4 seconds, almost reaching the horizon (my guess was that it was about a few kilometres high in the sky, and miles away from me.) This is where it blew my mind.

Instead of disappearing over the horizon or hitting the earth, it floated down smoothly and gently, in a sort of arc shape and landed on the footpath, right on the little street in front of me. I felt chills run up my spine and my instincts told me to fucking get out of there.

I turned left and drove away, terrified at the idea of what the hell I just saw. I mean, nothing about it appeared sinister at all. But the sheer nonsensical and unexpected nature of it was enough to make me think it could have been anything (angel/alien/demon).

It looked just like a point of light with a glowing ring around it, no bigger than a basketball. Once it touched the footpath it was obscured by the street lights, and perhaps other objects on the footpath, and somewhat regrettably, I didn't hang around to get a better look.

The rationalist in me kept trying to think, OK maybe it was a drone, maybe it was a fucking firefly. At this point nothing seemed too ridiculous to consider. But none of them made any more sense than the other.

Has anybody else had a similar sighting? Am I missing something here? P. S if the admin of this site wants to know the location of this event, I'm happy to disclose. I know for a fact that there is a security camera right where the object landed. I contacted the owner of the building but he seemed uninterested and was not willing to check the footage for me. I think if someone official/credible contacted him, he might be pursuaded to check the cameras. The sooner the better because I don't how long they keep the footage.

A pinkish sphere was seen moving in the night sky above the clouds from west to east.

This was a fuzzy pinkish sphere which looked like a metior at first moving in the night sky from the west to the east which lasted approximately seven seconds. The tops of the clouds were lit up from this thing then it suddenly zig zagged and disappeared. There was no sound coming from this sphere. Unfortunately I didn't have time to capture this on my mobile phone. I didn't report this as I thought that someone else might however I didn't hear of any reports and I just put it aside and didn't think about it much any more.

Our family regularly likes to look at stars at night to see if we can see any thing, my dad woke us up around 2-3 am and said he saw multiple stars moving in different patterns.

Our whole family went out and looked at these stars moving we had an idea to flash to back Porch light in a pattern .. One 1 sec off 2 sec off 3 sec ect to see what would happen just for fun - the star did the exact same pattern back to us. We did the same thing again about 3 times with the same response doing doing patterns the same as us before moving away them disappearing, we have all had multiple different weird experiences and when telling people there don’t believe us .

2 UFOS OVER BRUNSWICK 2 DAYS IN A ROW!

I just got home and was looking at the stars, like always there was a face made by the stars, and I looked at it for a while. That was when I noticed that one of the stars started to move quicker than the others.

Then I noticed that it was a UFO, it moved what I think was further away but was going right, this direction would be north. I watch as it moved, it then came under a star and than gone what I think was S or SE in the speed of light.

I also saw another one the next day again when I got home but this time at 22:30 on the next day 6/2/2016(DD/MM/YY). This one went the opposite of the first one.

It flew straight but when I got close to vanishing point it started to do small zigzags that made it have a blur at the back. Then that was it.

There was a bean shaped flying object soaring higher than common army jets. In mitchelton brisbane, there are numerous flyinh vehicles. This one however seemed like it was reflecting light of the sun as if it was wobbling or rotating. Not jet stram and no sound was identifiable.

It went from east to west direction striaght into the sunlight. I didn't see it after that.

I heard that satelites are commonly identified from going west to east around here. Hence why I'm reporting the curious object.

There was no quick or jerking movments. No deviation in direction. Simply wobbling slowly or smoothly across the blue sky.

I saw balls of light shooting across the sky and disappearing then reappearing above Melbourne.

I was driving in my car in peak hour traffic. I was waiting at a red light. I looked up into the sky and saw four balls of light moving in unison across a small section of the sky. They moved very fast and then disappeared. Then reappeared and did the exact same movement over the same area of the sky. Then they did it again. The balls of light were significantly separated so it couldn't have been two lights on either side of an airplane. The distance was too far. How they disappeared was very strange, no normal aircraft could do that. And also the speed they moved was way to fast for a normal aircraft. It was dusk and still bright enough to see that there was nothing connecting the balls of light. I stopped my car to film it but by this stage they had disappeared. It was over the sky above the Tullamarine Freeway Ascot Vale area of Melbourne.

Morphing UFO cigar shaped in melbourne australia

On the 5th of july in south east melbourne australia, a friend and i noticed Three bright multicolored lights in the sky moving in a fast formation. I went to grab my i phone to take pictures when i noticed these lights had stopped and had infact gone brighter green, red, white and electric blue where these colors. When returning from getting my i phone we noticed a large cigar shaped object had formed in the sky replacing one of the white lights.

After taking various photos we herd a strange high pitched noise and noticed the objects where moving again in formation. The cigar shaped object appered to have somehow formed three seperate lights and went smaller in size while changing color to pink. At this time we had noticed an airplane in mid air in the other direction.

We found it quite difficult to take photos, up load them, and to concentrate...

These objects seemed to VANISH in a blink of an eye, one by one.

On this morning the moon was still up and almost full as it was lighting up the sky all night. When the objects vanished a thick fog formed as i was driving home. however i was able to notice a large Golden light in the middle of a field glowing and fading away. I was unable to take photo's as my i phone turned off, and my radio station went to white noise.

I drove home as fast as i could suffering from an instant headache.

The "ufo" (unknown object(s)) Where flying at an incredible speed. seemed to circle melbourne and shoot off into the atmosphere

It was a gorgeous night. I was at BMX training. I was looking north east towards mt Dandenong TV towers then I noticed 2 circular disc shaped objects flying past rather fast. I tried to get a better look on the second burm, but then they vanished. I asked a mate if he saw the discs and he said I saw something “fly past rather past”. I then ignored it and thought of it as 2 fighter jets that had their engines off. So about half an hour later I was up on the 7 metre start hill and then noticed the 2 objects again.

But this time they were flying slowly, and then they started to hover then shot off in a south west direction. It was so fast I could only just process it. I felt a little dizzy afterwards because I thought “if that was a UFO, then what the f**k”

Red-orange ball seen in sky in Melbourne, Australia

I had just come home from work and was standing outside the back door of my house at 00:59 Australian Eastern Standard Time in Melbourne, Australia, having a cigarette when I saw an round red-orange ball shape rise from the west.

The colour of the ball was very bright and it seemed to be pulsating as it travelled through the sky. I was standing directly under it as it passed over the roof of my house and I could not hear any noise as it passed overhead.

I ran inside to get my digital camera to take a photo of it in the sky and I also got a short video of it with my camera.

It travelled in a south easterly direction and proceeded over my house and continued travelling in a straight line over the roof of my neighbour house. I followed it until I could no longer see it in the clouds.

formation of white lights travelling fast.

i am a 22 year old from australia and have had a few sightings of unidentified lights. this one i will tell you about, as it is the only sighting i had in which another witness was present. i was at a friends house sitting out on the front steps looking at the stars. we were only out there for about 10 minutes when i said "oh f**k look at that" and then pointed straight up above me. he looked up straight away.

what i saw was about 6 balls of light in a sort off circle formation. they just looked exactly like stars but they were brighter. they were traveling very fast and moved across the sky in the formation. they were much quicker than any aeroplane or helicopter or sattelite, but were also much slower than any shooting stars.

when i first noticed them they were already moving across the sky (i think in a north-west direction)and they then dissappeared within about 5 seconds behind clouds in the distance. while they were moving across the sky they were sort off shaking but in time with each other if u know what i mean. like they were all in sync or joined to each other or something.

when they disappeared our reaction was "awe" but i then quikly told my friend i wanted to go back inside. he told me to stay outside and we sat there for ages discussing what it was. he came to a conclusion that it was a group of white birds.

i did not. they were much to quik to be birds and to high in the sky. also their movement was nothing like birds.

if u have any information about these types of things or any reasonable suggestions on what it could have been that would be much appreciated.

thankyou.

Witnessed a blue glow followed by a streak of light in Melbourne Australia 10/02/2007

My finace and two sons (aged 7 and 10) were walking along our driveway towards our house when a blue glow lit up the area around us, including the sky, which caused me to look up towards the source. It was a stationary object in the sky which appeared to be oval. As soon as I looked towards it, it took off in a south eastern direction at such a speed which no human machine is capable of doing. It left a trail similar in appearance to a vapour trail for approximately a 15 degree arc across the horizon which was bright blue in colour. The trail faded gradually over several seconds. The whole event took no more than 5 seconds.

I'm a 38 year old Australian/Italian male. I ws driving along at 8.30pm in down-town Brunswick/Melbourne/Victoria/Australia on my delivery run for the local pizza restaurant when I caught myself gazing at a very luminous, violet coloured, oval shaped ball in the night sky - about 45 degrees from the horizon and noticably travelling along at an odd sort of speed.

I checked to see if my vision was being influenced by anything thru my windscreen by popping my head out of my driver's side window - and sure enough it looked just the same.

The object was moving away from my field of vision at a steady rate, but it would have been close to about 30 seconds - (the same time it took for me to drive a distance of about 500 metres at 40 kilometres per hour) that after watching it gliding along in a generally static eastward direction, I then saw it ultimately disappear from my view on the eastern city horizon (Mt. Dandenong) - but only after seemingly seeing it split into two parts - with a much smaller (similarly shaped) part splintering off and making a sharp downward trajectory which is where I ultimately lost vision of it as well as the original (larger) object.

I initially thought that it was some sort of laser-type light show being staged at a nearby sporting ground.

There weren't any reports in the media that night or the next day so I really am lost for words as to what the object really was.

It definitely wasn't moving in a familiar aircraft-type manner - way too fast for something so high in the sky.

The size of it was comparable to the biggest star that you can normally see -multiplied by about five; but it wasn't that far up in the heavens - it looked like it was hovering over our side of the world - amazing visuals!!

A "dot" shaped object shining sharply and moving with a slow and steady pace

I have seen the "object" during the day time. The sky was clear with some clouds but the object was visible clearly (at least to me).

The object was moving with a steady slow pace and was shining very sharply. I previously thought that it might be a star because we can see some stars during day time as well but I came to know that it isn't a star when I saw the slow movement.

It went far and got disappeared. The shape was a "dot-like."

I tried to make the video through my mobile phone (Nokia N70) but I am not sure whether I got successful in capturing it or not since I wasn't able to see in my mobile screen what was getting captured into the video because of the sharp day light.

However I tried my level best to grab it and I am emailing the video at the email address probided below. "I" am unable to see any object in the video but still I hope that you would be able to see it by using the advanced video technology.

I apologise if you won't find the object but I tried my best to capture it.

On Friday at about 2:30am I was standing out the front of my house having a cigg, watching the sky as usual....

Then I see these to really bright lights that were whitish with a touch of bluey green in them. They were two discs flying side by side, very close to each other. They entered our atmosphere fast heading towards the ground, then they do a massive U turn and disappear into the night. Basically they did a giant U turn (entering and then leaving our planet). At there lowest point they were maybe 1 km from the ground. The sighting only lasted about 10 seconds. As they got closer to the ground, they got much bigger. Its hard to tell how big they were because the light they were emitting was so bright, but I would say they were at least 50 metres across........

Im so happy I saw it as I was literally turning around to go back inside as I saw it. If they had have come 2 seconds later I would have missed them completely.......

UFO sighted from Melbourne suburb, Australia.

I study out of town. But this evening i received a call from my father and a number of my neighbours claiming they were looking at a UFO. They explained as being within the atmosphere, but pretty high up as they felt that it was infact about 100 KM's out towards Bass Strait. I continued to recieve phone calls from neighbours. And trust me, these are people from the most privlidged suburb in Melbourne, and i believe that before tonight they weren't believers! They guessed the size to be anywhere between 5 - 15 football stadiums! With the flashing lights and everything. It was too far to get a photo, bit like taking a photo of an eclipse with a normal camera... i called a friend living 2kms east of my house, and he had a look out, and saw it, as did his family. However, he described it as a really big star with a disco going off on it! I called another mate who lives about 20 kms towards the UFO, but he dismissed it as bull shit and reckoned it was a US air force test on a new X35 or something... AVOL, NASSA? stuff like that, are these things that big??!! I found a sight on something to do with what he was on about, but they looked the size of ordinary fighter jets!

3 bright lights seen overheard at different times above Port Phillip bay, Australia. Near Southern Cross and Big Dipper.

Okay, me and my dad were on my balcony, watching for shooting stars, when a light starts to travel counter clockwise across the sky, above the bay. We think it could just be a satellite, but dad points out that it's going the wrong way. We watch it for a few minutes, when we notice the same size white light, (constant, un-blinking.)start to cross the sky, clockwise, toward the other light at a tangent. We watch as they encounter a very, very light cloud, and neither appear on the other sides.

After a few minutes, a blinking white light appears up and to our rights, it has a constant blinking pattern as it travels across the sky. It turns at one point, and heads down past the southern cross. And then it vanishes.

six orange lights hovered for a few minutes

I was having my dinner at work when a work mate called me on the radio and told me to look in a southerly direction and about a 30 deg elevation and try and make out what the objects where in the sky. I'm an aviation enthusiast and i know an aircraft if i see one whether close or far, let me tell you these where NO aircraft they formed two patterns of a triangular shape, they were grouped in threes.

The light emmited was orange and seemed stationary for a short while then they started to move ever so slowly to the south. we could not make out the shape of the objects due to the intensity of the lights. Iknow that the object hat to have been lower than 3000 ft. because there was a cloud cover at aprox 3000 ft.this information was provided to me by the B.O.M.on the net.

The objects vanished as if some one was dimming the lights, no doubt they were moving away because the lights were seen entering the clouds.

The exact location of thsighting is: S 35deg 16min 20.5 sec E 149deg 07min 51.6sec

We were at Tullamarine airport in Melbourne waiting for a relatives flight from Queensland to arrive. I was filming aircraft taking off and landing with the kids. I was filming one aircraft taking off but lost track of it in viewfinder. I then noticed this circle light in top right of screen. It seemed to illuminate into a saucer shape and had 4 short beams coming from underneath it like a jet engine. My wife says it is probably the reflection of the lights of the window, but Im not so sure. I currently have video on miniDV tape so will need to convert to mpeg and send to you in due coursed.

:Light waking me up in my bedroom...Huge force of gravity stopping me from running away, and some sort of sleep powder/gas or whatever

It's not much compared to other sightings however i felt i had to file this report.

I was in bed, when a light just scraping through my curtains hit my eye. i went for a better look and saw the origings of the light (could have been centre of craft PERHAPS!)...although i didnt actually see a craft it is highly unusual to see a light floating in the air. It was making a rather distinct humming noise, which vibrated through the air. I got out of bed and was goign to head out of my room where all of a sudden the light expanded and shone on my wall and this HUGE sense of gravity hit me, i could barely move, i tried resiliantly to get to the door from my knees, however when i got as far as a cm higher the gravity was just too much and i fell to the ground, i noticed too that i was awfully tired which is extremely unsual, it's as if i had been gased as i could have fell asleep if i wanted in 5 seconds. Which i did. As i was thinking what to do in the short period of time i came to the conclusion of conforming to the gravity and gas (or wateva it was)and fall asleep as i would havefelt it extremely tense and frightening to have stayed awake. IF it happens again i just might stay awake. Anyway as soon as i fell asleep lying on my bedroom floor i wokeup just at the same rate as i fell asleep. Slowly gathering conciousness remembering only the time when i saw the light until i fell asleep. It felt to me as a huge time gap had been erased as when the "incident" had occured it was dark and when i woke up it was light, however i felt as if i had just woke up from it.

Take this into consideration however take into considerationh that it could have been a dream, a dream like NONE OTHER as it was terrifyingly realistic. Also i wouldnt have written up a detailed report if i thought there wasnt a possibility that this happened.

Stationary light turns and moves away a high speed

Having a smoke on the landing I looked up at the sky and noticed one star which appeared particularly bright and a little bigger that venus. We are in the souther hemisphere and this was about 20 degrees north of vertical. I thought it was a bit odd so I looked at it for about a minute or two. Their were two or three stars around it so I could determine it was stationary or possibly moving away from me. Then it dimmed significantly and began to move directly north looking much like a satilite does when in sunlight. It disappeared after travelling across the night sky for about 30 seconds. This was even stranger as satilites that are commonly seen in Australia always travel from West to East and are never stationary then move. I can only speculate that it was a stationary satilite that conducted a burn to move into a higher orbit ?

disc type object sighted along the coast of melbourne, AU south eastern area. 4 object, similar size, moving at a slow pace but quick.

i was driving towards the early hours of 4am melbourne, australia. while driving along the freeway at a dark traffic-less rd i glanced towards the south-east direction of the sky. at that moment i saw 2 flying objects floating or going at a very slow pace, i dont know if it was going fast or slow assuming the fact i was driving and moving at the same direction these object were headed.

the distance of these objects appeared close to sea level (around 500 meters above).

the objects had no lights and i could clearly see the colour of blue/greenish from that distance or maybe perhaps some reflection of the sea nearby made it visible to the eye.

figuring out the shape was the next thing comes to mind, it was a flat type almost like a saucer but from the angle im at, i dont know what shape it would look like if i was to see it side-to-side.

around 2 mins of witness this object, it seems that it is becoming aware. i distanced itself from my point of view, it was going towards the sea. it manouvered almost at a glanced-speed. it was faster than any craft-type object that i have EVER seen. all of a sudden 2 more object, exactly the same, appeared side-by-side, making a "four on a dice" formation. from my angle it was a diamond formation.

im sure it wasnt a plane or birds because it had no wings and no sound or movement involving as i rolled down my window constanly glancing at the object.

the objects subconciously followed the direction of where im headed, except it was in front the whole time. around 15mins later, i glanced once again and starting to shift away from my point of view, almost disappeared towards the dark grey sky. thats the part where i couldnt figure out where it went or how it disappeared.

on the same stretch of road there was only 2 witness that had the same description that i found out 45 mins later because for an early morning break at a local food station.

we exchanged numbers and information about the sightings. the two people who witnessed the sightings contacted the bureu of investigation in melbourne, australia and still pending.

Shocking Triangle citing on the fields of our farm

I am a farmer who lives in outback Victoria, Australia. We own 7 acres of land. We live in rural Victoria with our whole family. As me and my young brother and father were walking through our land on the 9th of April on a Friday night we seen an object floating in the sky. At the beginning we dismissed it as being a helicopter but as it drew closer we grew with fear that it might be an unidentified flying object. The object was coming closer. It was probably first at 12,000 feet above but we started fearing when it dropped quickly to about 7,000 feet. The object which looked like a triangle with three bright balls in each corner was resonating a bright light from all three corners. We got very scared and ran to our home in shock and disbelief but we also kept watching it to see what it was doing. We will never forget what happened for the rest of our lives. The Triangle object then dropped in altitude to about 3000 feet then 2000 feet. It was getting closer the ground.

My mother immeditly called the local police and told what was happening. The police skeptically agreed to come to our residence to see what was going on due to the fear that they could hear in my mothers voice.

In disbelief we watched the object. My mather and sister were crying as my father and brother and me watched as the object vertically dropped to about 1000 feet. It then navigated for a couple of minutes around the sky brightening the fields. The object then started moving right, then it travelled directly up into the sky - then it camoflaged into a star in the sky. It was the most shocking and emotionally disturbing experience that our family experienced. We do not suffer from a family with mental health issues.

The police arrived five minutes after the triangular object left vanishing vertically into the sky. We told them everything what had happened in exact detail. The police were very skeptical but told us to contact the Australia Government at http://www.defence.gov.au/ We contacted them and we are awaiting to recieve a response.

The sighiting has changed our lives forever, and we have been looking for groups to discuss what we have experienced but in this rural area where we live we cannot find anything. The local people even thing we are crazy as they did not witness it.

We do not know what to do and we are seeking help and we feel emotionally scared from what we experienced. It seems like the internet is the only source to find information pertaining to UFO sightings. We would like to know your advise to help us.

Our family has been deeply shocked by this whole incident. And we would like some information to bring some sort of relief.

3 big white disks, shot into the sky and out of sight within 4-5 second when I approached.

Was walking home from the shopping center past an empty field at about 6:30pm when three white disks each about 30 meters in diamater which is pretty big were floating next to each other about 3 feet obove the ground absolutely still. I saw and thought they were some sort of water tank device. I approached and after I took the first couple of steps all three of them shot up into the air about 500 meters as fast as a sling shot and then in a neck snapping move for a normal man, they jolted off at a 90 degree angle and were out of sight within a few seconds. I study physics at uni and I know that they must have broken the sound barrier or gotten close within 4 seconds of take off. The way they sped up from take off at about 200mph and continued to speed up as they made a 90 degree turn from vertical to horizontal at an even higher speed, then sped up so fast that they were out of sight within a few seconds on a sky blue clear day was,...what can I say. I have not slept since then. It was completely silent. Have never told anybody except my girlfriend and never will.

Me and my friend were playing basketball in the backyard when my mate said 'Whats That?" I looked around to see a glowing light in the sky. "Its just the sun" i said. But then we realised the sun was on the other side of the sky. And the moon was faintly above it. We looked at it for a bit then we called my parents who were out and told them to look up at the sky. They said they couldnt see anything except the sun and the moon. I then ran inside and got the camera and we took a far away pic. We kept looking at it then it sort of just, i dont know, faded away i spose.

i was having a party at my house, i had invited some frends over, we all decided to go for a walk down the foreshore nature trail. we were about 10 minutes into the trip and we were thinking about heading back because we were getting bored, we began to turn around when one of my freinds yelled out "hey, what the hell is that", there were a few screams from the females, but then we settled down and stood there in amazement as these nimble crafts floated approx 800-900m above our heads. the crafts flew about in a pattern, they were disc shaped objects that seemed to be able to move in any direction, they had no reliance on the winds like the planes of today. we were all frightened we admitted afterwards. a terrifying experience.

around a little before midnight, i notice an object stationary in mid air, i thought what the hell? i needed a closer look, so i ran inside to get a scope, i wasnt about to except or even suggest to myself , a ufo, as i think the whole ufo thing is fraudulant, there were lights all around the object glowing from inside,i had a closer look with my scope,, this object was nothing like i have ever seen before, closer with my scope , i was convinced this was no airplane, choper ,or any of our earth flying machines, and i have seen different shape planes from nasa, this machine was stationary in the mid air ,like it was observing, anyway,i ran back inside to get my sister as i know people think these stories are usually made up, being me one of them non beilevers too, true too my eyes this day i will never forget,what i observed, as not even she could say its only a plane, or its one of ours.

i wasnt about to sit out all night looking at this thing, i got a little tired watching it,later i went inside,second time a came outside to see if it was still there,it was gone.

i will never know for sure what it was, but it was not one of ours as im convinced to this day.

Extremely Large Circular Object Glowing In Sky Above Clouds.

I have not reported this before because i never knew i could submit this online. I was 17 at the time walking home with my friend when we crossed through a park between 2 streets, We noticed things suddenly light up slightly and the clouds were glowing orange, almost directly above us was a huge circle above the overcast cloudy sky. It sat there hovering for about a minute (possibly more because i was literally freaking out when i seen it) then in less than one second it darted straight infront of us and hovered on the horison for about 30 seconds, darted to the right and hovered for around 5 seconds then shot straight ahead again and disapeared. Once it disapeared my friend said "thats going to be covered up" and i was in a massive panic, my friend tried to calm me down and we continued to walk home shortly afterwards. I got inside and told my mum and she laughed, I literally started crying because I had no idea what I had just seen, my sister sat down with me and i explained everything to her before going to bed about 2 hours later.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 22711
Occurred: 2002-05-02 23:00 Local
Reported: 2002-05-02 22:18 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Melbourne (VIC, Australia), , Australia

Shape: Sphere


Three orange spheres in trangular formation came and went.

We were sitting outside at about 23:00 hours, in boronia (Melbourne Australia). Three orange balls appeared in the sky when we were facing North East, at about 45 degrees. At first the three phenomenon appeared to form an arrowhead type shape, then as the three of us watched, the three balls moved into a perfectly equalateral triangle and kept this shape for the duration, until the botton left first dissappeared, then top soon after. The last phenomenon then stayed visible for another 30 seconds or so, then finalley faded away. As they dissapeared, they looked to be almost heading further away from us, at the exact same tragectory as they originalley came. At first they looked as if they were coming towards us, by the look that they were getting bigger as time passed. The best description i can come up with is that they looked like balls of fire, yet the transfer of shape, and the holding of an equalateral triangle for at least a minute and a half seems to put forward the idea that these were more than just atmospheric anomolies.

Tear drop shiny object over Melbourne

I was in Brunswick(Melbourne suburb inner north) in back yard of house when I looked out to SSE and at 40 - 45 degrees elevation a tear drop and shiny object absolutely stationary. I estimated it to be perhaps 5 km away and probably the size of a large bus. It hovered silently underneath a cloud and then moved slowly Westerly for maybe 10 km and then again remained stationary. Clearly there was no rotor blades and no noise(helicopters are very noisy even at a distance). It appeared to turn from shiny silver to black (maybe because of the effect of the clouds). I was so shocked I ran inside to telephone some sort of authority . I got hold of the Australian Aviation Authority and they said I should file a UFO sighting but didnt know who with. I went outside with the telephone to give details but it disappeard entirely.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Changed Colo

WHILE STANDING IN MY BACK YARD THIS EVENING, I OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A PRETTY STANDARD LOOKING SATELLITE, WHICH ARE OFTEN SEEN HERE. HOWEVER THIS ONE, TRAVELLING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AND SLIGHTLY EAST OF MY POSITION, SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY BRIGHT BEFORE RESUMING IT'S NORMAL STAR LIKE CHARACTER AND PROCEEDING NORTHWARD. THIS FIRST ONE WAS AT ABOUT 2150 DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME.

THEN AT ABOUT 2210, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN.

FOLLOWING THESE TWO EVENTS, I SAW THREE SATELLITES IN WHAT COULD BE CALLED A ROUGH FORMATION AND TRAVELLING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AND MAINTAINING THE SAME RELATIVE DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER, PASSED OVERHEAD. A LAYER OF STRATUS THEN MOVED IN FROM THE SOUTH EAST AND OBSCURED ANY FURTHER OBSERVATIONS, IF INDEED THERE WERE ANY TO BE MADE.

I'VE SEEN MANY SATELLITES AND METEORITES IN MY TIME, BUT THIS WAS MOST UNUSUAL.

ANY THOUGHTS?

Location: Melbourne (VIC, Australia), , Australia

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

A classic UFO seen in central Melbourne, hovering at biulding level the windows and other features were visable.

2 people were riding in a cab down Punt st and crossing Commercial st, my girlfriend spotted the object first (her initial thought was 'its a space ship') and then tapped me on the shoulder asking 'Whats that'. I looked down Commercial st towards Albert Park to see an object floating in the air level with the top of the nearest biulding to us in the st. It was very close to us, approx 20 metres up and 20 metres away and looked very big!! We saw a disc shaped craft (classic looking UFO) with a lot of glass looking windows on the top of the craft with lots of white light inside. The bottom of the object was tilted towards us and I could see the flat disc shaped bottom of the object. There were several half spheres prodruding from the base with lights shining from the edges of the spheres.

It was at that point I thought 'Its a UFO!!' It reminded me very much of many pictures I have seen on TV and magazines.

The object was quickly lost from our sight when a biulding obscured it as the taxi driver had not seen the object and had continued driving. I made the driver go round the block and then drive around the area for 20 minutes. We never saw anything further.

The next day I scoured the papers, news on the tv and internet for other reportings, I never saw any other mention of this object. This did seem strange to both me and my girlfriend as the object was very big and in the middle of Melbourne??? We went back the following night and nothing looked similar to what we saw. I also walked down the street one day and there is a helicopter landing pad further down the st for a hospital. I called them up and asked if they had spotted anything with there radar, etc. They had had nothing reported.

To this day we do not know what we saw, though it certainly was not a helicopter, reflected lights, etc.

Four lights were circling around in sky, proved fact that lights were not beams from ground, as clouds blocked the lights. UFO.

There was four circlular lights in the sky, the sky was a bit cloudy, the light appeared to be a 'light' formation with no beam from the ground whatsoever. The beam began to fade after the 30 minute duration. 5 witnesses, witnessed the event (as known). Light was traveling in circlular motion, and returned into center and began to repeat itself. The clouds had covered the lights and proves that the light is not done by beams of light on the ground, as the lights were not seen when the lights were above the clouds, the weather was at night and cloudy. , i would like to be contacted on what it was.

We suspect the witnesses were observing an advertising light. PD

ufo's near melbourne with flickering lights

While driving along the Hume Highway near the Broadford exit, just out of Melbourne,Australia on Saturday night the 3rd October (sic), 2001.

We spotted flickering lights on the right side of us as we travelled towards Melbourne, then in front of us we saw a white light which was very bright, it was stationary as if to look like a planet, it suddenly went dull and changed to blue and red flickering lights, it quickly passed over us and headed north, but there was no noise.( Red light on top,white light on the right and blue to the left). There were 2 ufo's in formation heading North /West. We counted at least 9 sets of lights. All ufo's had blue and red flickering lights ( These lights were flashing to quickly to be plane navigation lights). They were moving at extremely fast speeds. We stopped to watch 2 ufo's flying in formation while the others went in different directions.

We suspect the witness means a date of November 03, 2001, as indicated in the Event Date box. PD

Light seen over kilsth area on monday evening

My friend told me to have take a look at this light that looked like a star. But it was moving slowly at first and then it darted across the sky for about 1km. There was a passenger plane in the sky aswell but that was closer to the horizon.The light was basically directly above us when we first saw it. I thought it was a satterlite or something but the second time it darted it made a 90 degree turn and then it slowly faded away.

seen spacecraft

Hi this happend to me one day at work in southern victoria melbourne, it happend in capeshank which is a small cape on the mornington peninsula.

Any how we had just got of a lunch break as we were working on the Cape Shank board walk that goes down the shank (it was in need of repair after a land slide) any how i was digging and all of the sudden a feeling came over me that made me look up towards the sky. As i looked i saw 3 boomerang white shaped objects sailing through the sky at great hight and speed, as i know (because I have had a few encounters in my life) the aliens have mind techniques and i saw as watching these things fly over me... well in my mind it read I SOAR... i looked back at my shovel and looked around i wanted to tell the rest of the crew...whom all seemed to be busy in the dirt but i had no power to use my voice these objects were sleek in design and could fly very high and fast...

Thanks.

street lights in the area swiched off while the obect was over head,they came back on as soon as the object departed.

object hovered for 4 mins ,was totally stationary then disappeared at a very high rate of speed,am guessing it was about 50 metres in size, and departed from sight within 10-15 seconds.

The Craft zipped passed, zipped back, stopped,and just stood there for about twenty mins. The wittnesses said they had an eerie feeling while the craft was present.The wittnesses also described feeling dizzy, and two of the wittnesses, cars were stalling while the ufos were present.

The colour of the craft were silver, and highly polished. The lights were orange, and yellow and there were about 13 of them on each craft.There was also ablue haze around one of the objects. There were at least two Silhouettes of beings with large heads in each craft. Their eyes were red and fiery and were like slits. The craffs did not land but came close to the ground. All of a sudden, a thunderlike sound w as heard, and the crafts disappeared. They were going at about 110 kms an hour. A tril was left when the crafts were going to the landing position close to the ground. Itr looked like a scorh mark as big as the underneath of the saucer. 11 metres in diameter when we measured it.

it was a disk shape with a dom on top & bottom with lights around the craft between the top & bottom domes.

i was in the shower when i was interupted by my younger sister,"theres a ufo outside our bedroom window!!!." i rushed out as soon as i heard the tone of my sisters voice. i power walked to my room and there it was. it was such a clear night, not a cloud in the sky. "a ufo!!" my mum, older brother, younger sister and i assembled in my room where we could see it 100% clearly. it was very bright for a while then went dull. then continued to do so for 40 minutes. by this time it was midnight.it continued to get bright and glowy and then dull fly in all different directions, up, down, backwards, swurving like it was out of countrol. i told my older brother to grab the camera. we opened my window,i repeatively told him to wait until the ufo had changed formation ( because the ufo was glowing and you wouldn't be able to identify the shape of the craft clearly).he didnt listen to me and took two photos when the ufo was bright and glowing. all the while it was still moving in odd formations through the sky. my brother and i got just i VERY clear look at the craft. the craft was a disk shape with two domes and had lights running around it, clearly showing this was not an airoplane. it continued hovering for a while then it gradualy dissapeared behind some houses. this lasted from 11:00pm-12:40am. being all hiped up from before i later went outside to marvel in what i had seen,just to be marvaled all over agian. this was at 1:20am and the ufo was back. it was hovering in the sky for ten minutes or so then suddenly took of at high speed across the sky leaving a streak of redish orange behind it. it stopped and hovered then took of again repeating the patern. i called my brother out side and we both witnessed this. it was so close to my house. it later spead off behind some houses again leaving a streak behind. that was the last time i saw the craft the time was then 2:00am. two weeks later the film was developed. only to realize the 2 photos my brother took were the only 2 photos that didn't develop. my brother f! ailed to put the flash on, on the camera.



NUFORC Note:

We doubt that the flash on a camera would have much effect on a photo taken of a brightly lighted object. We will request additional information from the brother of the witness. PD

Walking in the paddocks near the radio towers at night when in the distance above the mountain range I saw a large, very bright, white circle. It remained stationary then suddenly seemed to fade from the outside in and disappeared. I didn't hear a sound from it.

I was walking down the paddocks in the Rosanna area. I was about 10m from a gate when I looked up at the sky. It was dark, the only light being from the moon which was almost entirely hidden by thick clouds. The clouds were reasonably stationary. I started to look down from the sky when a very bright circle of light caught my eye. It was a steady white colour. The light was completely stationary. It was a little below the cloud line in about a North Easterly direction a fair distance above the mountain range. I stopped and looked again. It was above the mountains so not originating from there. It wasn't a radio tower. It was far too large, bright and stationary to be a plane (There is a flight path running through the area.) My first thought was that it was a search helicopter (with a search light). (They are not unusual in the area) But the light seemed far too big and bright, especially since the light was quite a distance away. The light was also vey steady. Helicopters are also noisy. I didn't hear anything that sounded like a helicopter. It was just a quiet night. It stayed stationary for about a min. then suddenly the light appeared to diminish in size, as if fading from the outside in. This only took about 2 seconds. I watched to see if it would reappear for a little while. It did not, so I left. (I know what planets and stars look like and it was not those)
