I looked up from the scope and saw what looked like a large flying chunky arrow. Long swept back wings and a thin body. I don't remember any sound but that is just my crap memory. I do remember it was flying LOW over the neighbourhood almost overhead and I estimated that if I threw a rock I would have hit it. My family went out front of the house, while I was out the back their report is similar to mine regard to shape they estimated the size to be about a football field. I thought it about the size of a large plane. It passed overhead and dissapeared toward Gosford. (I live at Umina). AT the time I was 16 and seriously though it a UFO. The in the early 90's the US released a photo of the Stealth Bomber and I said straight away THAT IS THE UFO.
Mystery explained.
Don't forget that just because people have a strange report to tell you, (and they will when they find out your into astronomy) what they tell you is real for them. Don't scoff and tell them they are idiots, just explain that they may not understand what they have seen. (sorry for preaching)
Most people who report UFO's are unreliable and even the credible witness's have NO real experience with the sky at its phenomenon. Credible reports from an inexperienced witness is NOT CREDIBLE.

err, jet engines are realy realy loud, if you could throw a rock at it your head would probably explode. and why are the us flying aircraft over the central coast for at this time of the day, piss off!
