I looked up at it, and struggled to see what was producing this intense light. suddenly the light switched off and I saw three circular shaped massive UFO's floating above my forming a triangle formation. They had flashing lights on the bottom of the spacecraft. I lost consciousness after this, and I woke up laying on the ground right where I first saw the bright lights. It was only 20 - 30 minutes that I was not conscious. There was no sign of the spacecrafts when I woke up.

There's basically a meteor shower going on at the moment, plus there's lightning. My Nan and I were looking for meteors, when I saw a slow moving object move East to North. It then stopped, started flashing and disappeared into the clouds above. Somewhat chilling experience.

I was on the driveway and looking at the sky, when I saw movement. Emerging out from the palm tree branches was this triangle. It seemed like it was not that high (in our skies/atmosphere like any other pane would be...but this was no plane) It was 4-5 times as big as any plane I have seen flying over me and I am 51 years old. It was completely silent and I was looking up a little to the coast but almost over my neighboring suburb. It was not like it was far away and just a dot or fast squiggle, this was a triangular aircraft that flew smoothly and silently in a straight line down our coast/over land coast side of Perth city. This aircraft operated on a completely level than anything I have seen before. IF it was a government aircraft, that scares me more than if it was extraterrestrial. I watched it from the top of my driveway through the sky southward until it was too small to see (on the horizon that you can see over the house across the road, quite a long way) and it traveled that in about 10 or so seconds. I had a good 3-5 second look at this thing and I am still awestruck. I have contacted channels 7, 9, 10, 2, The West Australian, Perth Now, Perth Observatory, Australian Weathercams and no-one has got back to me. Perth weather gave me some sites to look at but they only have a pic each min and timelapse shows those pics only. I need footage of Perth skies coast side of Perth on the 8th January 2017 and to sit in front of the screen and watch between 2.25am and 2.30am focusing in at 2.28. So frustrating because I am not some crazy and I know what I saw which was flying, was definately some kind of object/craft and I could not identify it.

Looked as a bright white star seemed to be moving towards my way suddenly, was a burst of speed across the sky! then changed to light grey colour for round 1min, then six blue grids underneth morphed for round 30 secounds pulsing, changed to light grey once again then disappeared into the night... looked as thow object had bad intentions! We are uncertain as to whether this is intended as a serious-minded report. PD

I was on an airplane flight from USA to Melbourne, Australia. The sun was rising behind us, and it's the early morning hours. About an hour away from Australia, I'm looking out of the window, and off in the distance, I see a metallic glint. Curious as to what it could be so far up in the sky, I keep watching. at this point in time, the object appeared to be parallel to the plane and going slower than the plane or perhaps stationary. As I'm watching, it sharply turns towards the plane and speeds up. I'm panicked because I think that it's a missile or something that's going to hit the plane. It appeared to be heading directly towards me. as it gets closer, I see that it's going to go underneath the plane and not on a collision course. After the panic of potentially dying wears off, I'm oddly calm and entranced. The object is metallic, silvery with no apparent windows, and quite a bit larger than I had thought. It's cigar or oval-shaped, with no wings or tail. ! It passes underneath the plane, right below my window. It was strange in that it seemed to know that I had noticed it. Afterward, I'm relieved and in a haze about what had happened.

So i carried on watering my garden Maybe 30 seconds later i looked again this time i kept watching it as it went straight over my head roughly 1.5 metres above my head literally right over my head. So i got a good look at it. It was a darker blue in colour about the size of a deflated fitness ball in circumfrence and about 30cm in width way to small for a human to fit in it i could not say what material it was. Now this was defying gravity as if it was just floating forwards in a straight line at roughly 15km per hour. If you stand a coin up on a desk that is the way it was facing as it went over my head it slowy started to spin when it done that i couldnt believe my eyes and was very hesatent wether to go grab my mum to come have a look as i didnt want to miss a second but i quickly got her and she seen it aswell. It has never happened again. It made absolutely no noise and was roughly going east to west towards the ocean. Witness submits hand-drawn illustration, indicating a round, disc-shaped object, with concentric lines circling the ventral surface. PD
