I have seen UFO five times in my life. Twice in Europe and three times here in Australia. In about 1972 I was mining in remote location of northern Queensland and one late evening I found one of those things hovered few hundred meters behind our hut. It was very bright, yellowish in colour and as big as full Moon. No it was not Moon, half Moon was visible about 50 degrees from it. It was hovering in same place for few minutes then jump to the right a bit and slowly returned to its original position. After while it started to annoy me. I was there alone; my partner went about 120km to Mt. Isa for supplies. I got my rifle took cover behind large rock (just in case it would shoot back) and fired shot at it. I listen for the sound of bullet hitting something but could not hear bullet connecting. As it did not fire back or react in any way I took another shot at it aiming bit higher. Again, no reaction at all. Decided not to waste more ammo and went in the hut to make cup of coffee. When I returned with cuppa it was still there doing its little dance. By that time it was really pissing me off. There I was in middle of nowhere, alone with something weird sitting almost on the top of my hut. I went back inside and got from under my bed case of gelignite (dynamite), took out coupe of sticks, crimped detonator on the couple feet of fuse and armed gel. I walked some distance toward UFO and placed charge behind rocky outcrop shielding the hut. I lit the fuse and hid behind rock from where I was shooting previously. Now, when you blasting rock the explosions doesn’t make much noise. But if you explode couple stick of gelignite in free air it makes mighty bang. After small stones thrown up by the explosion stoped falling, I looked at UFO and it was gone. It seems that shock wave have disperse it. During time it was visible it did not seem to affect bush animals as normal sounds of bush continued undisturbed. My cat did not pay any attention to it either. It did not emit any sound I could hear.
From what I have seen and experienced of UFO I have come to the conclusion that it is some rare atmospheric phenomena. It may show on radar but so does the rain.
Only exception could be my (and my friends) sightings in Europe. Those happen on two following nights at about same time 10 PM. UFO’s were ellipsoid, white, brighter in direction of travel about half of size of Moon. Moon was visible at time of sighting. Flying very fast with no sound. First night we observed two of them, side by side one about half of diameter ahead of other. Next night we observed three of them flying in V formation. As this happens few weeks after invasion of old country by USSR and UFO’s were flying from west to east towards military airport some 50 km away, it may have been some sort of military aircraft. But speed, size and lack of sound are very puzzling. I have seen MIGs flying over our town at sub and super sonic speed day and night and this did not looked as MIG by long shot.
This is my two cents worth to UFO debate. It would be much more interesting if those things where spacecraft from the stars but with my experience I doubt it very much.
