Cross-shaped object hovers above car in Australia
August, 27, 1998 - Echuca, Australia
"It was about 75 to 150 feet above us and completely still... I got out of the car to have a closer look... It was large and had what appeared to be four wings like in a cross. I estimate the size at about 60 feet across. Each wing would be 20 feet and the centre canopy was also about 20 feet and glowing red." View full report

Police officer observes unknown craft
October, 27, 1997 - (Location unknown),
From the witness: "I observed an aircraft, approx. 150-200ft above ground level and approx 300-500ft slant range from my location. It was rolling out of a right bank and the streetlights were illuminating it enough so that I could see a distinct silhouette of the fuselage and the underbelly. This object appeared to be the same color as the night sky, flat black or dark gray. There were no lights, no exhaust flames and no engine noise... just absolute silence!" View full report

Father and two sons witness object with lights travelling slowly
October, 8, 1996 - North Croydon & Wonga Park, Australia
The object was then at its closest point to us. It had a large bright light at either end, with 4 Possibly 5 smaller lights in between. At either end, behind the large lights there were very small red and blue lights that were not easily visible. These smaller lights looked like portholes. The large light on the leading end went out and there was a dimmer light coming from inside, similar to an interior light of a car shining out the windscreen. View full report
