Full Description & Details

It was late at night approx 00:30am and my son and i were returning from a trip on the east cost, as we were driving back along the brinktop road, near sorell, we noticed some

lights approaching from the east, we thought it was a helicopter, along side us as we drove, then it took off over to the north east, and as we drove further along, thehuge bright light apeared again, and approached us from the north east and cut in front of us, becoming staionary hovering on a hill next to the road, i slowd my car to a stop and a very bright search like light illuminated our car, and ourselves thru the sunroof, the odd thing was there was absolutly NO noise! totally silent! i could see a dark space in the center of the bright lighted object, then like a light switch being switched off, it dissappeared, moments later my husband drove up behind me, he had noticed the light, but didnt think anything of it...i must admit this particuar part of the road always gives me a strange feeling and leading up to this event i had been strangly drawn to this reserve, and had had recurring dreams of sitting on the hill where the object had hovered, bizarre! i did not feel afraid, nor did my son, in fact we felt quiet relaxed, normaly i would be a little scared in the middle of nowhere...I return many times to the same spot, and have witnessed it again since then ,but only the once, and this time i was alone, and got scared and drove off, i notified the ufo guys here and they did some research, and there were no explanations for what i had seen, they rang the airports, and rotarlift helicopters,ect, but nothing was out at that time, nor of an evening, and what i had seen was silent! it could not have been a helicopter, it was nothing like anything i have ever experianced before...

I ahve also had two other experiances, where i witnessed at 6am... i was driving home over the bowen bridge towards old beach, as i turned across the road onto the east derwnt highway, i happened to look across the water and as the sun was just coming up i saw a huge reflection...i looked harder and noticed a huge elongated object, that was at least the length of approx 50' feet or so, with a very subtle and slight dome or saucer shape on top, it was only partly submerged from the water, i though it may have been a submarine, although i didnt think we had submarines in the derwnt river, or of that size! it appeared to be a dark gery metallic colur and was shining from the light of the sun, i also noticed that there seemed to be a join of some kind from the elongated part, to where the dome shape began, and along this part seemed to be a pattern simialr to lights, although switched off, as they were the same colur as the rest of the object, as i was still driving very slowely at this stage, i nearly vered into another car, so took my eyes off the onbject for a few seconds to pull over, but when i had looked again, it was gone, i know what i saw, some people said it could have been a reflection of some kind, but i was looking at it long enough to know it was real...a few days earlier i had noticed two rings of light floating beneath the water in the same spot at the same time of morning, they were very pretty, and i nearly had an accident watching them as i drove, and again they dissapeared, i have been wanting to get back there ever since with a video cam and try and get some footage, as im not the only one whos noticed unusual things in the derwent river. hope this interests you .

Other Comments

I beleive for some reason, few of us are somehow beyond our understanding, able to spiritually connect with something not of earth, and as a result were are lucky enough to become spiritually aware and hopefully learn enough to understand why some of us are able to see and why some of us are not. it is a gift to just beleive!
