UFO

Obviously a weather balloon :)))))))

Eric

you've just had a close encounter of the mysterious kind....

there is a comet floating about at the moment, but not sure they can zig zag either...

Maaaate

I know you weren't drinking but whatever you were smoking please give it up.....LOL

Probably was a shooting star but when it got close to the horizon local atmospherics distorted the view and instead of coming it went....... or seemed to

Noosa? Playground of the Idle Rich, eh?

A friend is into this stuff and so I get a regular stream of reports on sightings.
Ignoring all the sus stuff there is a huge collection of credible witnesses to these sightings. Air traffic controllers, Iranian and Canadian (and other) air force pilots scrambled to approach and then there is astronauts comments.
One newspaper report had a photo from one of our outersatellites (140,00km out from memory) showing a passing craft (not light) approaching earth.

Whilst we may never really believe it till we see it ourselves you have to say it is actually arrogant to consider we are the only beings created in the universe.
We also go visiting other planets and moons comets etc.and have spun craft off beyond our own solar system.

If they are visiting us -we can be grateful it is scientific exploration on not yet conquest. Something Humans seem to be particularily good at .

Seems the best thing to do if there is a sighting is pass it on to share via the media. (as rock cawler did) The worst thing is to initially hand any evidence (photos etc) it over to the authorities, They already have all the "weather balloons " they need. LOL

Shooting stars or more correctly metorites can change course slightly as they bounce off Earths atmosphere, satelites can also undergo slight course changes if you happen to see one at the exact moment it gets 'retasked'. But as for rapid course changes high altitude jet maybe, or maybe you did see some out of this world.

"They" are probably reading this as we speak because we assume their advanced intelligence so maybe "they" can give us a sign - like what an inter galactic 4WD might look like.

There I have now legitimised the post!

Kind regards

Hi RC - here is one possibility :
Comet McNaught (2006/P1) - 'On Jan 15, the comet is closest to the earth at a distance of 0.82AU but it is still only 7 degrees away from the Sun. After sunset however, observers should attempt to view the comets gas (ion) tail as it appears perpendicular to the horizon and, if sufficiently long enough, may be glimpsed from a dark sky site through binoculars!'

To find it, look at the western horizon, just on sunset. It will be about 2 thumbs width up, and to the left of where the sun set.
Being close to the horizon, we are viewing it through the greatest depth of atmosphere - which could create appearance of erratic movement.

but then again...'Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine' (Sir Arthur Eddington - Astronomer and Theoretical Physicist).

Nah - what you seen was the reflection of my high beams from my Mighty nissan patrol...... narva make a damn good spottie :)

When we were up in the High Country recently, we saw 3 satellites passing over our heads in perfect formation. We had witnesses from this site with us and they might have been drinking but I wasn't. LOL
I have never seen a UFO but I don't believe that we are the only live beings in the universe.

The truth is out there, Mouldy .

Isn't it amazing millions see these ufo's daily yet they are ridiculed and laughed at, yet tell people about a being that no one's seen heard touched or spoke to called god and not omly do they believe it some of them will kill you if you dont beleve it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a strange race we are............................

A wayward Fruitbat with a glowstick between it's teeth who's radar is on the blink ???

hi rock crawler, I had a similar thing happen. Let me tell you my tale of intrigue.

Was walking from the car to the house with 3 other people. Someone noticed a light buzzing around. I had a look and brushed it off but then took a thought to what it was. A fast light a long way away at a 70 degree angle. Was moving as massive speeds eg I know a tad about physics, jets, speed veliocity, angular acceleration etc and this was not a jet. We dont build things which can do what this light did and if we do, then it was not piloted because in 1 turn of direction the pilot would have died. So anyway I dont have an agenda with this sighting, I dont know what it was. One other thing, my experiance was not a fleeting thing, 4 people clearly saw it for 5 minutes, I went inside, got my telescope and focused on the light. Eventually it dissapeared in a fast long straight line outta here. I know some people dont believe me, and to be honest I wouldnt either, thats cool, BUT its not cool if there really are ufoie things, cause we probably all should know about it.

"when i saw a shooting star. Well at the begining I though it was , thn it did a zig zag , before doing a u turn and vanishing."
