Appearance / Description of Object(s)

A strange Orange colour, I'm an artist and I've never seen this colour orange before I describe it as a living colour, because the colour felt and looked so odd to me It was quite large,the size of a small car ..maybe...?but unsure of the size.It had a halo all around it a whitish , cloud like halo. It was moving very slow when we first saw it. I thought .mmmm wandering star/ because it wasn't a plane, helicopter, satellite or balloon.

Size of Object(s)

Unsure..not good with measurements at all..but close to the size of a small car ..maybe?

Description of Area / Surroundings

There are Hills in our area the dandenong mountains. We can see the hills from our porch.But we live in what I call a suburban area..and my husband says that we are actually on top of a Hill lots of houses..in fact it's a government housing area. We do have a lot of trees surrounding our property though. We have houses quite close on all sides of us.

Full Description & Details

7 witnesses to a..glowing orange,moving light.. with a whitish halo coming slow from westerly to easterly direction..no sound at all.. then it quickly..I mean ..so fast, that it was not easy to comprehend how something could move like that ! and it seemed to move in closer to look at us.. it felt like it was watching us, and just sat there in the sky above us for a few seconds..it felt like it was observing us..really, this was the feeling

I yelled at it "do something crazy ,like zig zag in the sky for us"..and it did ! It made a zipping..zig zag movement

then went straight up ..faster than we could estimate, leaving a thin white trail behind it..we will never forget it and we were all saying to each other.. hey..that's not a plane or copter or balloon or satellite or anything that we've ever seen before. Strange thing is that It always feels like it happened just recently .when in fact, it was over 10 years ago.?I keep thinking about it. I was the only one who turned to run when it moved in to watch us..I saw the others just looking at it..some of them with open mouths..like they were shocked.Next time I turned around we saw it go up with the white trail...shocked me that's for sure, had me wondering what the ...?

this sighting can be verified..because others in the neighbourhood saw it and contacted our local paper "the Dandenong journal".We have tried to get the exact date ..but have trouble getting the paper to answer us , I've written numerous letters?

We know the name of the Journalist was "marge stork" and the Title of the Article she did was "UFO'S on the move in Dande"..the date was either 1993, 94 or 95 the picture is one of our nearby neighbours a Mr Micheal O'dea, pointing to an object in the sky he also saw this

orange coloured light, and rang the paper.If anyone can help me find this article I would really appreciate it as I want to know the exact date and have been trying for ages to know more..thanks

regards catherine walker

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I don't know..but I remember thinking" A Wandering Star" I don't know if the government has made vehicles like this..if they have ,it must be a big secret. It seemed very strange to us, this object... like nothing we've ever seen before in the sky..not only this but it felt strange the whole experience was odd in some way..but I don't really know how to put this into words.

Witness Background

" Artist ".. on canvas, wood pottery paper and for the past 10 years (since the sighting)I've been a "Carer" for one of my sons who had a psychotic breakdown.I can't say this is relative as this particular son wasn't there on the night of the strange light. I also paint ceramics

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was always interested in UFO's ..from a young age and I know that a few of these other witnesses were also interested in paranormal and metaphysical things. A lot of us had already read books on UFO's and seen movies etc I don't know what to make of them ..It has me scratching my head and always wondering what the ...? was that! It has left a deep impression on me and a few of the others..we often still talk about that night ..and it was over 10 years ago now.
