Sphere over Forest Hill, MELBOURN · Australia
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
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.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164246). 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.
