UFO's in Mackay

This was too funny. Tourist reports a UFO in the morning sky and takes a video. Her description was hilarious! "It was moving and coming towards me and then exploded!" Nice video of VENUS!

Then a Brisbane man says he sure was glad the aliens didn't see him when he took these photos - of an aircraft vapor trail!

Doesn't the average person ever look up? Thank heavens these people didn't see a -8 Iridium flare or a bright meteor. They would mess themselves.

Personally I've had many UFO reports over the years. One or two sound interesting but then it's hard to say since people put such crazy descriptions on Venus, Jupiter and even Orion's belt. "It looked like fireworks!" That was how one guy described Jupiter. "It was moving really fast and changing colour!" A description of Orion's belt.

I guess I shouldn't be so hard on them since I knew what Venus looked like since I was 10. But really, some people must NEVER have seen the sky at night before and when they take a look they are freaked out. From some of their descriptions too you could never figure out what they were looking at.

fwiw. Wait till our video is processed from a 'sighting' taken from downtown 'Fairy Meadow' just nth of the 'gong, about 3 weeks ago. We saw it on their VCR TV setup @ our meeting on Thurs nite. Just waiting for the CD to be done... Was very interesting... Orange centre & very erratic in movement... They could not focus on it visually....was too fuzzy.. Will let you know how it turns out..... L.

np, Kevin. We asked them the usual Q's, "drinking beforehand, during etc", "What sort of vehicle did you arrive in"? or did you just 'beam down'? You know, the usual stuff.. L.

When I was 15 I had an "Oh God, they're here" experience.
My brother was dropping me off at a friends house, it was heavily overcast, when we heard this earsplitting roar, the clouds lit up with orange fire and we both looked to each other, freaking out. It was kind of similar to the scenes in Independance Day.

Of course it was 3 F1.11's at very low altitude choosing a timely moment to dump fuel.

UFO's are real!

Well, of course they are.... makes sense when you understand what a UFO is. A UFO is simply an object that you can't identify & which appears to be flying.

I 'saw a UFO' recently - a group of 3 different coloured lights, close together that hovered above me (high altitude) and then shot off at great speed. However, I think it was very likely a reflection in my contact lenses, or just my eyes playing some other optical trick on me. However, since I couldn't identify exactly what it was then it must, by definition, be a UFO hehe!

I don't deny the possible existance of ET saucers completely, just 99% of them. Especially the ones reported by Joe or Jill Public as presented above. It's the ones reported by professionals, airforce and commercial civillian pilots and astronomers that really interest me. Not that the pros can't be tricked either, it's just more unlikely.

I would really like to see and video a UFO (the alien kind) but they seem to be avoiding me.
