Cylindrical UFO Caught On Film Over South Perth Western Australia (Pictures)

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date: April 18, 2010

Time: 1:08 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Cigar shaped, disc shaped?

Full Description of Event/Sighting: On the April 18, 2010, I attended the Red Bull Air Race in Perth, Western Australia. I am an amateur photographer, and was keen to get some shots of the show from the southern side of the river facing the city.

I took over 200 shots on the day, and whilst I noticed nothing at the time, I later found an object in 3 of the shots during post processing of the photographs (I saw nothing at the time, however given the speed of what appears in the shot, and with the viewfinder of my camera up to my eyes for much of the day, I wouldn't expect to see anything).

The photos were taken at 1:08 p.m., according to the camera timer. I took 3 photos in less than 1 second total, in accordance with the Canon 500D DSLR specs. Each of the 3 photos was taken at 1/80th of a second, in both JPEG and RAW format.

The 3 photos show a stationary news helicopter on the left, and a competitor's plane in the center which appears to hardly move in the 3 shots despite travelling at speed vertically, such was the speed of the 3 photos taken.

The object in the background (or is it a small object close to the lens?) baffles me. It appears to be moving very fast. It is either large, distant and extremely fast moving, or just the opposite.

It appears to have no tail such as a meteor might have, and in fact may also be travelling in a slightly upwards direction.

The photos were taken into the sun with a polarizer filter on, and with smoke haze from the aircraft, they did not turn out like I would have liked.

My only adjustments to them, however, relate to color and contrast, with no changes to the object in question itself.

This is the first time I have reported the photos as a sighting. A while ago I sent them to a Ufologist in Australia and the conclusion was that they may be an insect up close, in the absence of any other information.

I have my doubts however, to me it looks large, fast and distant. For that reason I have decided to report what I have, and let others decide.

Considering the kind of photo this is, following a fast moving stunt plane under such excellent lighting conditions across several frames and excellent information from the photographer, the unknown cylindrical object is clearly moving extremely fast -- the lack of blurring almost surely eliminates the possibility of this being a bug passing close by the camera (which can often create the illusion of a high speed craft covering great distances).

In this case also we have in the last frame the object much smaller showing it has moved further away from the photographer, and yetremains sharply defined. All in all, this is an excellent UFO photograph.

Unknown Craft Over The Outskirts Warwick QLD Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  September 9, 2011

Time:  Morning.

Number of witnesses: 3

Number of Objects: 3

Shape of Objects: Contrail icicle biological craft.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi, I live on the outskirts of Warwick Queensland Australia. A week ago my 3 year old son was pointing up into the sky, saying Dad look. I looked up and at first thought he was trying to show me a Kestrel hovering. I then saw something very unusual.

The clouds were moving from right to left on a clear sunny day and above the clouds was what looked like a contrail. However this contrail did not disperse like normal contrails, it maintained its course and looked like a very long icicle. There were two more that followed it and looked as if they were in formation.

They were not travelling very fast. I have photos of the anomalies. This is not the first time I have encountered UFO'S.

I spotted one in 1979 at Chatton Sandyfords farm in Northumberland. The other one was spotted in 1997 hovering in the sky next to Dunstanburgh Castle with two Tornado Aircraft in pursuit on the east coast of England.

Kind regards.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

UFOs Dancing In The Sky Over Newsagent On Highett Road Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  August 25, 2011

Time:  Evening.

Thursday 25th, 2011 outside Newsagent on Highett Road, I saw two UFO’s "dancing" southeast. It looked like they were reflective material (like a mirror) they weren't plane or balloons. They were moving all over the place.

One of them turned black for a few seconds. I am a teacher and two of my students saw them as well, thank god, I thought I was going mad. So did my mum and the lady at the deli. I was really freaked out and had a dream that night that someone took blood from me.

I don't believe in aliens, but this has seriously creped me out.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Mother And Son Believe In Their An Alien Encounter At Banora Point NSW Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  2005

Hello Brian, I have something that has shocked our family and their beliefs of extra terrestrials.

About 4 Weeks ago I noticed a cut on my back. I couldn't remember how it got there, and I couldn't recall injuring myself. The cut was about 3 inches in length, and was deep. There was no blood however.

The cut has formed into a scar, which looks similar to that of a surgery related operation.

I didn't think much, or take much notice of it until this morning.

My mother woke me this morning and complained of back pain and asked me to check to see what the problem was. After checking, I realized that her cut was identical to my cut 4 Weeks earlier. I showed her the scarring on my back, and she was shocked. After taking photos, we both noticed that our scars were exactly the same length. Her's however, was on the left side of her back, and mine was on the more upper right side of my back.

Both of us do not know how we acquired these cuts.

Both cuts are in a straight line, exactly the same length.

My mother never used to believe in extra terrestrials or conspiracies, but now this incident has encouraged her to learn more.

As this has only been discovered in the morning, we have not yet checked my Father or Brother to see if they have the same scarring in their backs.

My mother's friend is a Psychic medium is ready to do an evaluation of this. My mind is not that "elastic" to believe in afterlife and so forth, but we have experienced things related to this. It will be interesting to see what they uncover.

I have had similar things happen to me like this, one time waking to find my foot broken and my nose bleeding, and some other bruises that I know I have not caused.

Additional Information:

I currently live in Banora Point NSW Australia, and previously lived in Hastings Point NSW Australia.

I believe that I have seen and had contact with extra terrestrials, my previous submissions describing them. When I was a child, I saw 3 tall shapes around my bed, and another time I woke to find my foot broken and nose bleeding.

Also, I have seen a flaming red object in the sky, and just recently I discovered that a number of years ago my father saw a green object in the sky.

We have also experienced a strange occurrence in our town, when a bright white light flashed in the sky over our town, causing a blackout. All of our towns power is underground, and the nearest transformer is a couple of kilometers away.

After noticing the scars, I have found it difficult to sleep. I have noticed sounds outside, and sometimes have a feeling is if they are outside looking in at me.

I have heard strange noises at night, and sometimes both our two dogs bark late at night, for reasons we don't know.

Both my mother and I have strange "Tingling" feeling around the scars. I usually notice this feeling when around water, or when I go to bed.

I noticed mine four weeks before my mother noticed hers. Hers now, is beginning to form into what looks like a medical scar.

We have checked, and both my brother and sister do not have scars on their backs. We are not sure if my father has scars, as he won't let us check as he is quite against it.

Whether this is an Implant, Brand, or just a very strange coincidence.

After this incident, I believe my mother is trying to forget about it, and refused the psychic medium to perform an analysis.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

UFO Came To A Hover Over Great Ocean Road Port Campbell Victoria Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  January 2000

Time:  Late evening.

Hi Brian, I am emailing you because I read a story on the internet and I wanted you to know that my friend and I saw a UFO off the Great Ocean Road near Port Campbell around January of the year 2000. We were sleeping in the back of our car looking up at the stars this night and we saw some kind of aircraft with white lights.

It was kind of flying slowly into view from off to the right. It stopped and just hovered there for awhile. My friend and I had time to say to each other, 'can you see what I  can see?' and 'what the hell is that' before it suddenly flew away into the distance at an incredible speed.

The amazing thing was that it seemed to get further and further away, and then in the far distance we saw a little orange flare, as though it was leaving the atmosphere if you know what I mean?

You're definitely not alone because I have found quite a lot of other reports around the Great Ocean Road. It seems to be a hot spot for sightings. Cheers.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Loud Cracking/Roaring Noise Coming From Massive Glowing Blue Cigar Shaped Object Over Hervey Bay Queensland Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  May/June 2006

Time:  Approxamtlty 10:30 p.m.

Hey there, how's it going? I just decided to watch this new show on OLN, the "UFO Hunters",  even though I haven't paid much attention to the show in the past and I still don't, but I've shared the same experience you had mentioned yourself and I figured I'd just open my laptop up and see if I could find any information on what I saw, or if I could find anyone else who had seen the same thing.

Now this all took place in may/June 2006. I've never used the internet then like I do now, so this is why I'm emailing you. I flew to Sydney, Australia, to where I met my wife and we prepared to set off for a journey we knew we'd only see probably once in our lifetime.

We stayed in Sydney for about a week, travelled 13 hours north to a place called Byron Bay where we stayed for about 2 weeks. Our next stop was a few more hours north to a small town called Hervey Bay where we had stayed and worked for a couple months to build our bank accounts up for the next move further up the east coast.

It was about 10:30 p.m. and we just shared a pizza and decided to go for a walk to town just to see the night life etc.. We heard this very loud cracking/roaring noise almost like a jet would sound when it passed at high speed, but the noise didn't just come and go, it roared in the distance.

We looked behind us, and in the sky we seen this massive "cigar" shaped object that was glowing bright bright blue and was travelling far faster than any plane I've ever seen before. The light the object was giving off definitely lit the whole sky, and the town below, and we could clearly see way out into the ocean as it was passing.

It wasn't just blue and glowing, it had a tail of colors coming off the back that was easily 2 times longer than the cigar shaped object itself. Immediately I was looking around for people to share the experience with, so we weren't alone with it, but we were the only ones around.

We only seen the object for 15-20 seconds before it swept past the sky and completely vanished. If I was to say how far this was away from us, it was a good 50-60km+ away and I'd have to say it was at least 1500+ feet in the air. One thing that was consistent though, it wasn't heading "down to earth", it made it’s way from one end of the sky to the other, south to north and it had a very consistent speed that didn't change, and the sound didn't change until it was out of sight.

That's really all I got to say about it. Not sure if it was a meteor, or what it was, we were excited about seeing it, but also curious as to why no one else in the town had seen it and we spent 3 months in that town.

Your write up was the first I read, and I'm happy to reply to it.

Any more questions just ask me. I'm from Canada, B.C. if you have any pictures you've saved from your experience, please forward them to me.

Look forward to hearing from you to see how close we are in experiences. Thanks.

Brian Vike's Note: The witness here believed it was myself who witnessed something the same as him, but the report he read was sent into me from someone else who seen something similar.

Large Bright Neon Red Ball Of Light Over Bonnyrigg New South Wales Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  1999

Time:  Approxamtlty 1:00 a.m.

Hi Brian, I was just watching something on TV about UFO sightings in WW2 and one in particular was described just as I had seen years back. I searched Google and found your site.

It was about 1:00am in Bonnyrigg NSW sometime in 1999.

I saw a large round ball of light in the sky looking west of Bonnyrigg. It was bright red, very large and I instantly knew that it wasn't anything I'd seen before.

I ran downstairs and went outside. I stood watching it in awe for about 10 minutes until I thought about getting the camera. I was just about to turn and just then the ball appeared to get smaller until it disappeared.

The object was perfectly round and bright red. As bright as a neon red. No noise was audible. It was fairly low, I didn't need to tilt my head too far back to look up at it. It was as though a bright red orange was suspended in the sky, meters from my eyes.

It didn't move or pulsate and there were no other lights on or around it. It held it's position and suddenly appeared to shrink, within a couple of seconds it was gone.

I called the Sydney observatory the next day and was told that nothing was reported.

Cheers.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Bright Orange Light Over Rockingham Western Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  April 12, 2011

Time:  8:00 p.m.

I noticed a bright orange light in the southwest, it was still. I watched it for a few minutes when it started to moved across the sky to the north. It began to flicker - fade as it moved!

It disappeared and then reappeared brighter than a star, but back in the south of the sky, again it started to move slowly across the sky to the north.

It flickered and swayed from side to side, the light then faded, but I could still see a white formation in the sky still moving to the north. I then lost sight of it, the whole duration was about 10 minuets.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

Bright Orange Fireball With Tail Makes A Sharpe Turn Over Melbourne Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  2001

Time:  6:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 2 (including me).

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Circular with a long tail.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: About 10 years ago, my mother arrived at my grandparents’ house to routinely pick me up after school. I was 16 at the time and it was late afternoon, just before dusk on what was an unusually clear and sunny spring day.

I was in the passenger seat of my mother’s car when she performed a U-turn on my grandparents' quiet street at which point, the front of the car was aligned perfectly to the north. I happened to glance up towards the top half of the windscreen, admiring the bluish-yellow hue of the sky.

As I shifted my glance to the east, I witnessed a bright orange fireball, which appeared to be flying at a fairly high altitude. It had a distinctly long, orange tail which emitted wispy clouds of very thin yet acrid looking black smoke. The object was traveling slowly along horizontal plane (from east to west).

The slow speed seemed unusual to me, but I initially dismissed it as a very bright meteorite travelling at extraordinary altitude. Suddenly, it began to change trajectory, slowly descending along the vertical. This occurred about 5-6 seconds after I had initially spotted it. At this point, I figured that it must have been a doomed aircraft which had suffered a catastrophic failure of some kind.

I exclaimed and pointed it out to my mother, who instantly slowed down to a stop, glanced up and also spotted it. The object then commenced an unbelievably tight loop, dramatically accelerating in the process. After completing this first loop, it subsequently performed another (just as tight as the last), still accelerating, yet traveling at an ungodly rate of speed.

No manned object could possibly withstand even a fraction of those G’s! Once it completed this last loop, it slingshot towards the east in an upward and traverse trajectory, gradually fading into the blue of the atmosphere. The whole incident felt like it  lasted an eternity, but in reality, the duration was no longer than 10-15 seconds.

Needless to say, I couldn’t believe what I had seen, so much so, that I after I had regained my prior composure, I asked my mother to describe her account of the incident. If she wasn’t there to concur, I probably would have dismissed it as imaginary. Prior to witnessing this event, I was an avid aircraft aficionado (in fact, I still am).

Since then, I have subsequently studied aerospace engineering, yet I’m still scratching my head on this one. By analyzing the scenario, I managed to derive some additional attributes of the object. Since it faded into the atmosphere, it must have been flying at the absolute fringe of space. Also, considering that it was clearly visible at that particular altitude and angle of elevation, it must have been huge.

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Triangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was laying on back looking up at the sky at about 10:00 at night around 1995 in Sydney NSW Australia when I saw a strange black triangular (looks like Northrop Grumman plane flying backwards?) craft which was blacker than the night sky.

It was like watching a video in fast forward, the craft kind of skips behind and in front of itself as it moves? The sighting lasted approximately 2-3 seconds. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

20 Foot Silver Spinning Disk Shaped UFO Over Township Of Kalannie Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date Of Sighting: 1967, 1968, & 1979.

Time of Sighting: Dawn, 9:00 p.m. & dawn respectively.

Location of Sighting: Farmhouse & township of Kalannie, Australia.

Number of witnesses: My whole family and myself.

Number of Objects: One at each sighting.

Shape of Objects: 2 were disks and the latter was a cigar shape.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Hi, I have been fortunate to witness three separate UFO sightings, through my life, plus several other unexplained things in the skies, but when I was around 8 years old, I got to see a 20 foot round disk hovering in between the shed and our house.

My whole family saw it too and while it was totally silent it was spinning very slowly and moving away until it vanished behind the tree belt at the back of our house block.

It was a silver metal and had portholes, but not sign of movement. The second sighting was above the house and very high up. An object with multiple coloured lights was just sitting there for some time and eventually just shot straight up within a few seconds and it had gone.

There was no sound, again, and obviously a round disk shape.

The third sighting I had was a huge 1 kilometer long silent black cigar, hanging above the entire town I was from. I watched it for about 10 minutes then it just vanished.

I consider myself to be really lucky to have witnessed these strange things and hope to see more in my lifetime.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you to the person for their report.

A Huge Unknown Craft/UFO In The Sky Over Willetton Western Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  June 9, 2007

Time:  11:35 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Willetton

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Large, circular.

Full Description of event/sighting: I was leaving work and walking to my car when I saw a large object fairly low in the sky. I was stopped in my tracks because it was just so large. 

It was moving across the sky from a North Easterly direction, I thought it must have been a helicopter with its spot light pointing right in my direction. That would maybe explain the size of the light. Then I realized that: 

A. -  It was the same colour as one of our orange street lights.

B. - Our police choppers use white spot lights.

C. - The light didn't move, and I could see no "beam" of light that such powerful search lights emit. 

D. - It was moving too fast, definitely too fast to be a chopper, but within reach of a jet.

It wasn't a chopper, I thought it would have to be an air craft of some sort. After watching it for another minute I was certain that:

A. -  There were no leading lights, wing lights or whatever they are called. They blink, each air craft has multiples of them and they are different colours. We have a small air port nearby (Jandakot) and there are often prop driven planes in the air. Likewise there is a larger air port (international) further to the east. So aircraft are a common and familiar for me sight.

B. - It was just too big to be a jet, if it was a jet, I should be able to hear it. It wasn't a cigar shape or anything stupid like that, it was just a big orange ball that was slightly squashed in the middle.

I started recording it for a few seconds on my phone, but stopped. I felt silly thinking it could be something unexplained. Sure it was huge, had no leading lights and was moving faster than a prop plane or helicopter could move, but still, this is Perth! And a camera phone isn't exactly a worthy medium.

It was just as I was thinking the above when it moved. It moved so damn fast, right towards the ocean (West). The light seemed to halve in size, but that could've just been due to the fact that it moved so fast. A building obstructed it after a second but as I sprinted to the side of the building to get a clear view it was already gone.

We (Australia) do not have a single damn jet that can move that fast, it cleared the sky in seconds! Every hair on my body stood on end at that point. I've just spent the last half hour staring in awe at the sky, yes my neck is sore and no I didn't see this thing again.

What I did see however were numerous planes, a few far to the east where our cities main airport is, and a prop driven one heading to the smaller Jandakot airport. Not a single one of them looked anything like this thing. Out of curiosity I tried recording one of them with my phone so I could compare the results. Standing in my backyard I recorded a small propelled craft, looking at the recording I could barely see it. Looking at the few seconds of footage taken from a well lit car park (much more light pollution than my back yard has) the difference is amazing. That's how big this damn thing was, you can actually see it in a quick recording taken from a crappy Nokia in a well lit car park. Am I kicking myself for not recording as long as possible, more than anyone can know, I just want to be able to watch it again, so I never forget.

A believer is born, Sigh, I don' think I'll look at the sky in the same way again. The skeptic in me says "come on", and is going to make me check out to see if America have any carriers stationed offshore of Fremantle. It could've been a Super Hornet, but realistically there's no chance. They would not have been authorized for such a low fly over, plus they are noisy as hell, and if it had poured on the juice to get moving that fast the light would not have diminished but flared bright and hot.

Sorry this is so long. In a way writing it out so clearly will help me remember the event, it's one that I think is worth doing so too.

Oh, one last thing, this is almost certainly completely coincidental but it certainly added in some way to the sight. My car's central locking wouldn't work! Hah, first time that's ever happened (ever), though it started working after I tried half a dozen more times. But anyway, there were no power outs etc., my phone was working after all, just thought I'd mention it.

Once again, sorry for the length.

Thank you to the witness for the wonderful report.

Large Cigar Shaped UFO Appears Over Acacia Ridge Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  November 3, 2007

Time:  12:10 a.m.

Location of Sighting: Acacia Ridge.

Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Large Cigar Shaped Craft.

 Full Description of event/sighting: On Saturday November 3, I came off the Ipswich motorway and under the bridge and noticed a huge cigar shaped craft immediately.  First I thought it was in direct proportion to 3 Holden blimps joined end on end.  I drove slowly in the traffic gazing at the craft all the time and hardly looking at the road.

I was on Granard Road when I saw it, turned  90 degrees into Beaudesert Road and lost sight of it, and then into Boundary Road where I thought I would be able to see it again, instead, in the sky around the same direction was a large 747 that was only a third of the size of what I saw in the air and the 747 was much closer.

The time was just after midday and it was a very clear sky except for 2 wispy clouds. It was so obvious, I thought others would have reported seeing it too. I have reported it in relation to the November 15th Boundary road sighting. People around that area really should keep their eyes open and a camera ready.

I now don't travel without one. I could have gotten very clear images if I had one and do frequent the area. Will keep my eyes peeled.

I can send an image/graphic depicting the event as a saw it out the front windscreen of the car. Just email if you want it and you will get it in hours. Thanks. I love this site.

Thank you to the witness for the really interesting report.

Disc Shaped UFO With Windows Urania South Australia

Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.

Date:  April 1975.

Time:  6:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Urania, South Australia.

Number of witnesses: 4

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: typical disc shaped

Full Description of event/sighting: I am an investigator for AUFORN (Australian UFO Network) and have read tens of thousands of UFO reports,

some fake, some explainable as misidentified natural and man made objects, but I believe a majority of the sightings are what the U.S. Government call

ETV's or extraterrestrial vehicles. Below is a sighting I had in 1975 which sparked my interest in Ufology.

One night in April 1975 a friend of mine called me and asked if I wanted to go spotlighting for foxes, I said yes and traveled to his farm 10 miles south of Maitland and arrived there about 21:00 after going inside and chatting for a while to my friend Brad, his Mum Pam and another friend Michael I said that I was going outside to get things ready to go spotlighting.

As I walked out the back door (facing east) I noticed what I initially thought was a large shooting star coming down from the east and to the southeast but, the shooting star stopped dead at about 20 degrees above the horizon and began traveling across the sky towards the east and flashing blue red and white lights.

I yelled to the others to "Come Out Here NOW! Look At This", they came running out and we all stood in the back yard watching as the UFO traversed the horizon.

I got my rifle out of my car and began watching it through the telescopic sight and was amazed to see that it was at a guess 40 meters across and about 20 meters high disc shaped with windows around the edge of the disc and a flashing dome on top made out of what looked like polished aluminum, it looked so close that I had to move the scope to see all of it.

Brad went to the car shed to get his binoculars which was further down the yard to the east while Pam, Michael and I took turns watching through the rifle scope.

After about 5 minutes Brad came back, he had been watching it through the binoculars and I could see from the porch light that he was as white as a ghost.

The UFO was at this stage around 1000 meters away and traveling towards us. I got scared and was going to have a shot at it, but was told off by Pam so I lowered the rifle, as I did the UFO started to retreat and slowly move off to the North towards Maitland, we kept watching as it became just a red flashing light until it was over the eastern side of Maitland where it hovered, 4 other little red lights seemed to enter the (Mother ship) UFO and then the UFO took of in a slight arc to the east into the sky and disappeared in less that a second.

I have since seen many other lights in the sky, but none more convincing than the above.

Additional Information:

There is a bit more to that sighting that I did not mention because of space. I will briefly explain.

After the sighting mentioned, I said to Pam (Brad's Mum or Mom as you say over there ) that "why weren’t you scared ? " she said "Oh I've seen them before they’ll be back".

I asked her when she had seen them before, she said "when we used to live on the other farm" (which incidentally was situated  about a kilometer east south east of where we all saw the UFO starting to move towards us) apparently she had gotten up through the night to go to the outside toilet and saw a UFO sitting in the paddock next to the toilet, she really didn’t go into much detail about it, but did say that the next day she went to the doctor complaining of burns on her face and arms, the doctor told her it was just sun burn.

I suspect that the UFO was looking for her and that I scared them of when I foolishly aimed my loaded .243 at them (which I kind of regret doing) I had even calculated that I should have hit it if I had aimed about 20 feet over the top.

After the UFO that the 4 of us said had gone ? I said "well let's go spotlighting guys" to which Michael said "No Way !" I said "look we won't see it again let's go" so off we went and we had shots a few foxes and were on the northern side of Maitland heading north and to our right about 800 meters over the tops of the trees we saw it again.

I wanted to go and have a good look at it, but the other's said "that's it let's go home" which we did I was out voted.

Thank you to the eyewitness for taking the time to send along a most interesting sighting report.
