I'm not one to Poohoo Ufologists. I honestly hope that somewhen somewhere someone really does find irrefutable proof. We may already have it bu just don't know it yet. But it's quite amazing though how excited people get and readily jump to conclusions. I'm guilty as charged.

I was attending a party one night and about a dozen and a half of us saw something that initially blew us away. The others might have been forgiven as they had had a pretty heavy night but myself and a good friend were the didicated drivers so were sober as. We were standing at the top of a pretty steep driveway in the dark saying goodbye to the hosts when someone spotted an irridescent greenish light out to the northeast. It appeared to be circling extremely rapidly, far faster than an aircraft of helicopter could. We were mezmerised. We watched it doing this for about 5 minute when it suddenly veered of to the north a fair distance and then started to hover.

At this time another person came from around the far side of the house to see what all the commotion was and spotted another one of to the northeast. We all turned to look but couldn't see it as there were trees in the road. Some of us went to move up to see the new one when the original started to head towards the new one. We were getting very excited by now. Suddenly the light started doing some pretty radical maneuvers as it headed slowly skyward, reaching a point about 60 deg above the horizon then slowly faded. By this time the second one had disappeared.

We were blown away. We stood around yabbering about it for about 15 min. Someone decided it was time to go and started to walk down the driveway and walked straight into a great big spiders web. Boy we laughed. But stopped when we saw the light again. But this time it didn't look like it did before and it seemed to be hanging right beside our friends head. As we moved closer we could see what it was.

A glow beetle/firefly that had been caught on a piece of the spiders web that was then dragged up to be partially wrapped by the spider. Man we felt like idiots

Good story though
