Hi all
Just watched a segment on Today Tonight about a UFO sighting that happened in Melbourne some 40 or so years ago. Apparently this incident was witnessed by a large number of students and staff at a school (can't remember the suburb) near Melbourne. According to the article all concerned were sworn to silence.
Now I have no idea how credible the witnesses were or how genuine the presented facts are but it got me wondering if any members or visitors to this forum have ever had an experience with lights or sightings of objects that defied rational explanation. I guess things that did not seem to fit the usual criteria of weather balloons, marsh gas, low flying aircraft(of the conventional type) or large doses of alcohol or recreational substances consumed by the observers.
OK I'll be the mug and start it off. Many, many years ago a few mates and I were batting the breeze in my parents front yard which overlooked part of what is referred to locally as the coastal plane here in WA. Now before you jump to the expected conclusions...........yes we had had a drink and no we weren't anywhere near smashed. We were smoking and it was in all cases perfectly legal if somewhat unhealthy tobacco.
One of our number drew our attention to a light that appeared in the sky about (from memory) 15-20 degrees above the horizon and in a southerly direction from where we were. In size, which was hard to estimate, it appeared to be about the size of your little finger nail if held at arms length. The colour varied from a yellowish green to quite bright, almost white. As we watched it travelled further south and after watching it for some minutes it disappeared. No it didn't head off in any direction at great speed or go behind a tree or cloud, it went out like someone turning off a light. Now none of us have seen anything like that since but the memory has stayed for all this time.
