Bright Orange Circle Oblong Shaped Object Over McGraths Hill NSW Australia

Date: December 31, 2010
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

At around 10:00pm on New Years Eve my wife, daughter and I were in our pool in McGraths Hill, NSW, Australia, gazing up at the stars when my daughter said "that's not a star" and pointed to a bright orange circle/oblong shaped object. It was moving erratically for something up in the sky and on occasion actually stopped, not constant like a plane or helicopter and there were no flashing lights as you usually associate with aircraft.

When this object eventually disappeared, it looked like it was travelling at an amazing speed getting smaller and smaller as it went away until it finally disappeared. We The entire sighting lasted around 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

I am ex-military and worked around aircraft for over 30 years and so know when I see afterburners in action and all that sort of stuff (this was nothing like that). I have never seen anything like it before and would probably guess at it being the newest secret American technology being tried out (apparently all over the world when reading some of the other recent submissions on your website).

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.
