I was out observing the sky when a light moved across the sky 30meters then dissapeared. Dont think it was a ufo as it didnt move like one. 2 mins later another one came from the opposite direction. I live near chadstone shopping centre.
Definitely a "ufo" - well, you didn't identify it! 2am - not really visible satellite time. Can you describe a bit more, please Peter. Both moved in a straight line? How quickly did they move across the sky. For how long was the light visible? When you say "30 metres" could you describe what you mean by that distance some more?

BTW, what does a "ufo" move like? Do you mean change direction?
