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.
