Flash over Sunshine Coast (Australia) · Australia
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looking west from Peregian Beach (east coast of Australia), just finished observing Jupiter and Saturn with the telescope. Sitting on my balcony facing west and we saw a single flash level with Kaus Australis. Continued to observe that part of the sky waiting to see strobe lights from a plane but no repeating light.... then 5 seconds later flash observed in the direction of Messier 55. No further flashes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151037). 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.
