|
|
Hi there all,
Last night I was at the a freinds orchard, we was having a few beers and doing a bit of stargazing and chating.
I spootted a bright white light that at first I thought was a plane. It wasn't quite on the flight route that they normaly take .
As it got overhead I could see no hazard lights that all planes must have due to regs, no port or starboard flashers no tail lights, nothing, just the white light. Infact it seemed lower than a plane might be but as it got overhead and passed over it still displayed no other lights. It did make a hum sound. That wasn't a conventual plane.
Ha ive seen one now cactus. OK it was n't amazing and left many questions but yes itr was unidentified a flying.
If it was some type of plane then it wasn't interested in the normal regulations.??? |

Probably about the wind speed...ie: the speed that a Chinese Lantern would do on the wind

Not a lantern as it was just white and no flickering.
It was going about the same speed if not a little faster than a plane, the height was lower though so it was difficult to say. very bright but not intense.
It was something ive never seen but left alot of questions.
I would put money on that not being a plane or balloon. |

Yes, I spotted it first whilst having a cig, and then said mate check that out!
I quickly got a film too but it's just a dark with a white light, does show no flashing lights though. |

That sounds exactly like what I saw agentscott, apart from the humming.
Would you say it looked like a star? |

Yes my freind even said that. It looked like a star when it was passed us and continuing away, if I had seen it only then I would have said nothing. |

lol well I know they do have remote control unmanned spy planes - you can apply directly into the army to do that very job (I once considered it) |

Yes that might explane it but it would still have to display the regulation lights so maybe not.
It wasn't a 100% sighting anyway cactus so were gonna have to look harder and get a display style sighting, it will be aliens then I can garantee it. |
