Other over Gladstone, QUEENSLA · Australia
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving down Red Rover Road and spotted an aircraft flying really close to ground and descending into the hill. It was as large as a plane but was in the shape of a drone. Lights dotted along the craft. No sound emitted from the aircraft. It definitely wasn’t a helicopter or plane and even if it was, it wouldn’t be able to land in this location because the hill is quite steep. There is a decent size water quarry behind the hill, followed by some land and then a river. This is a secluded area and the town power station is located nearby as well as a power sub station.

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.
