Dysart (Australia) · Australia
I live in a mining camp while at work in Dysart, QLD. I had just finished tea and was walking back to my room with one of the work mates when I observed a bright light in the sky traveling south/south-east to north/north-west at approx 3 times the speed of a commercial airplane. The size of the object gave an appearance of being slightly larger than a pea and my estimation is that it was approximately 15,000 feet in the sky. I observed this object initially thinking it was a satellite but its brightness and jerky forward motion was strange enough for me to comment to the work mate how unusual it was, and that's when he also took notice. After the 1 to 1 1/2 minutes travel time it veered of in a 45 degree angle directly away from me to due south and took 2-3 seconds to reduce to a pin point and then disappear/blink out. No alcohol was involved before this sighting and I am not on any medication nor use illicit drugs.

Melbourne (Australia), VICTORIA · Australia
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.

The shape moved silently through the night and moved suddenly in a 45 degree angle and you only noticed it as it passed under the stars.

It was night time already and was fairly cloudy. Me and about 40 other people all saw and began pointing at this huge purple orb in the sky. It was massive and most definitely not man made. We could tell that it was far away as it hid behind the clouds, but for about 10 minutes it illuminated almost half of the sky in purple, and therefore we could all tell that it was massive. As I said it hid behind clouds so we couldn't see if there were any trails or movements but it did certainly dim and light up again and again over and over before it began to fade before vanishing. If you looked at the sun from where you are, it looked about the same size but certainly closer and within atmosphere. I was 9 at the time but adults, parents, and many other children saw the orb. I must emphasis that it was massive and the light that it emitted could not have been human. NOTE: There may have been more witnesses from nearby houses, soccer and rugby fields, and drivers nearby. There were no EMP like affects as far as I know but that is as I say, AS FAR AS I KNOW. It is still a very clear image in my mind, and all my friends and family who saw it along side me remember it vividly. I do not know if any animals reacted to the event, and the orb made no attempt at landing.

After a meditation I summoned a UFO. It was my second attempt. I have never seen a UFO craft before. It was a bright light grey coloured sky. It was a strange shape almost T shape except the T was sideways. From my view it looked like a T but may have been a cross + shape. I have never seen anything move that fast in the sky. It appeared above me very high up just below the high clouds. It made no noise. It flew in a direction north to south. As it passed above I watched from my balcony until it was out of view. As it flew into the distance it bopped up and down distances that must have been 50 to 100 metres in the space of half a second down then up down then up. I am not delusional do not take drugs do not drink. I am extra terrestrial supportive yet do not nor have ever felt the need to make up a story or embellish a story. It was a lovely experience that lasted approximately 1 minute and moved faster than anything man made possibly could, was completely! silent , moved in a bizarre direction and bopped up and down several times in flight. I am aware of ufo summoning, however the result was instant and crystal clear.

Bunbury (Australia) · Australia
On Saturday night (20/05) whilst driving home at 21:00 I observed a circular blue light moving through the clouds. It was an overcast/wet night and bright blue circle moved east to west through the clouds. There was no lightning etc. I do not believe it to be a satellite or plane (only small, light planes fly in this area). This occurred approximately 20km North of Bunbury, Western Australia, whilst driving South towards Bunbury. I believe object to be at approximately 30 degrees to horizon. Object was visible for a matter of seconds. Passenger confirmed sighting, believed it to be unusual. Furthermore, on Monday, 22 May, whilst heading North to work (same area), at approximately 06:45, I noticed in the sky what appeared to be a contrail. Cloud was a straight, narrow vertical line that looked very unusual and stuck out compared to the rest of the sky. The only reason I really noticed this was because of the strange events on Saturday night. I checked flight radar etc. and there were no planes in the area or nearby. As indicated previously, only small planes fly in the area - contrails etc. are VERY uncommon. Doubt this is related but thought it an odd coincidence.

Canberra (Australia) · Australia
I am an avid night sky observer and was using a Nikon 10X50 60 degree binoculars last night to observe various star constellations in our southern Australian sky. For instance, I have observed the International Space Station about 30 times, so I am familiar with the brightness and movement of the ISS. The object I observed last night did not move or have a trail like a meteorite. My daughter was observing the Pleiades star cluster and noticed the bright light appearing and disappearing as well. I would be interested if anyone else observed this object here in Australia. Thanks for your effort tracking these observations. Possible flare of an Iridium satellite. PD

Perth (Australia) · Australia
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.

Driving into Rosebud, vic, from Rye. In daylight. Teardrop object spotted from car window - appeared to be falling from the sky at first; but when I did a u-turn to stop and take a picture it seemed to have disappeared further away from view, then come back again. Almost smokey in appearance but tubular and remained in its shape - unlike smoke. The tip that was at the bottom was rounded and you could see the blue sky between the teardrop shape.

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 heard a low flying small jet, military. Which fo not fly in this area. Coming from the ocean. Heading towards RAAF Amberly Base. Flying low and slow. Here is the really crazy bit- No nav lighting I could hear it BUT - I could not SEE it. Yep, thats right, not see it. How do i its military. Im ex RAAF. It was F18, or F22 Raptor or Stealth F17 or something secret. This plane was invisible to human eye. How bizzare is that. True account of happened, swear it in court.

Penrith (Australia) · Australia
Strange "H" shaped craft seen over M4 freeway in NSW. Impossibly travelling vertically, both up and down and seen over Penrith from as far away as Toongabbie, which is a distance of 30km. Object seen middle of day entering white clouds and within 30 minutes. Clouds were dark, and appeared to take the shape of a spinning top. In the area below the cloud formation, despite the dark clouds, there seemed to be a lack of humidity or moisture in the air, in what is usually a very humid area. This side-effect was experienced by surrounding suburbs. I'm not convinced aliens are responsible, possible testing of weather-altering device of some kind. Jury is out.

I woke up to go to the toilet (I live in a caravan, so had to exit the van) as I opened the door I looked up into the dark black sky and noticed an object that appeared to be a star, then it started moving quickly which led me to believe it was a shooting star, I soon realized it was not a shooting star as it very quickley shot upwards it then began to zig zag and move around the sky in a fashion that I would describe as "dancing", I watched this take place for a few minutes as I could not figure out what could possibly do this in the sky. It moved fast and slow up, down, left, right, diagonaly up and down sometimes very quickley and sometimes slowly. This took place in a easterly part of the sky and unfortunately I can't estmate the approximate distance from me.

Perth (Australia) · Australia
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.

Western Australia (Great Southern)(Australia) · Australia
UFO SIGHTING IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA - May 2016 On Saturday night, 28 May, 2016, between approximately 10.00 - 10.30pm, I witnessed several objects in the night sky that I, and my three travelling companions, believed could be UFOs. All agreed they were not at all similar to a plane, helicopter, flare signal or pyrotechnical display, either in appearance or in the way they traversed the sky. We were driving south, in the Great Southern region of WA, between Narrikup (a small rural settlement) and the city of Albany. The form was a large, bright light in an apricot to mango shade of orange. In size, they were around half way between a star and a full Moon (when the latter is fully risen). I recall that there were three of these (definitely at least two), appearing separately, one after the other. Their trajectory was appearing ahead and to our right, originating from below our line of vision, then moved swiftly in a high arc, progressing to our left while lowering, then vanishing to below our line of vision. The rising point appeared to be closer to us than the vanishing point, i.e. the pathway, from our standpoint, was angled. As mentioned above, they appeared one after the other, with only a few seconds between each occurrence. The entire sighting would have been approximately 20 seconds.

Nungatta (Australia) · Australia
I was on a camp in nungatta South on a remote farm eating dinner with my friends.About midway through the meal I decided to go to the toilet.As I was walking (on my own) to the toilet I looked up at the beautiful clear sky, then out of nowhere a single bright large green light appeared out of nowhere, it was the weirdest colour of green I've ever seen, it hovered for about 3 seconds then shot across the sky at an impossible speed, then after about 7 seconds it vanished. I was sure it wasn't a plane it was way to big and moved way to fast. I'd estimate it was about 100-200m up from where I was standing, and maintained that altitude the whole time,it did not look like it was descending.

Shelley Beach (Australia) · Australia
Me and my partner were at the beach and we seen a large number of lights far in the distance high over the water that were slowly moving. These light sometimes went off and then came back on, they were not in any formation at all, they slowly moved south. There is another persons report that I have seen that had similar photos. I tried to record it and take photos but it was too far in the distance. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Adelaide (Australia) · Australia
North Haven, South Australia. At 2145 I was sitting in my backyard outdoor spa looking at the stars, when I observed what initially looked like a formation of three triangular aircraft in a pyramid shape fly directly overhead. I had a limited field of view due to the design of my house but the aircraft took five to eight seconds to transit across it and out of sight. My initial impression of the formation was that it was three Super Hornets travelling to local Airforce Base, but it was immediately apparent that they were the wrong shape and were travelling way too fast for aircraft at altitude. I then presumed that they were three large birds flying in a chevron formation, but the leading and trailing edges of the triangles were straight lines with smooth edges. No flapping or noise was observed. My final impression was that I was looking at three equally sized equilateral dark coloured (or black) triangles flying in a pyramid formation with their tips almost touching, or that it was one larger dark coloured triangle with a triangular center section cut from it. I could clearly see the night sky through the triangular hole in the middle of the aircraft/formation. No lights were visible on the aircraft and there was no reflections or glare from any of the surfaces. The aircraft travelled directly over me so I only saw it from underneath and I could not tell if it was medium sized and low to the ground, or very large and high. My gut feeling was that it was 150 –300ft from the ground but I can’t really base that on anything more than how it appeared to me. The craft/formation was probably twice the size of a full moon. The aircraft tracked from South to North. I tried to get out of the spa and continue to observe it but I broke contact and failed to regain it. I suggest it may have been blocked from view by my neighbour’s house which is why I presume it was flying lower to the ground rather than at altitude. There was absolutely no noise associated with the aircraft which was probably the thing that most struck me as strange. It literally glided past in silence in a dead straight line, directly above me. I called the Port Adelaide Police Station approximately 1 hour after the event and asked if any strange aircraft or flying triangles had been seen or reported during the evening. Nothing had been reported. Ambient Conditions: Wind: 0-3kts Temperature: 21c Cloud: 0/8 (clear sky to the horizon) Moon: Waning Crescent (half-moon) Ambient Noise: Low. No traffic or neighbourhood noise present. Visibility: Excellent. Minimal star twinkle and moonlight almost good enough to read by.

Saw a translucent flying triangle, it was like it was cloaked. It blended into the surrounding sky and was silent. I saw something catch my eye and ran to get a better veiw. It seemed to be a triangle shape with a slight kind of glow but it seemed to match surrounding sky. This is true as i don't believe in ufo rubbish this. Is my one and only ever sighting
