Sphere over Melbourne (Australia), VICTORIA · Australia
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
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. I decided to report this after watching a UFO program on TV.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166717). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Australian aerial sighting records answer to the Freedom of Information Act 1982. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
