Report By George

Observer named Barry lives in Sandrigham, Melbourne and
overlooks port Philip Bay on Sunday 16th July at 5.10am. He saw
a long "red line in the sky. It was fairly high up and appeared
to be a red-orange colour, probably several kilometers long, and
perfectly straight as if drawn using a ruler. He went inside to
get his wife to come out and see it also, but it had
disappeared.


Thank you George for this report

Report by George

On Saturday night 15th July at about 11pm DW saw 3 amber lights
flying overhead  at very high altitude in a line towards the S.W.
These lights were widely spaced and evenly spaced apart. The
witness often sees many aircraft in the area where she lives which is
Mooroolbark, a South Eastern suburb in the foothills of the Dandenong
ranges. These lights were  eerie because they were "silent" and they
followed each other while being spaced. The witness wishes to remain
anonymous.

Thankyou George for this report.

Please ring.  Red fireballs seen

Report by George

This sighting occurred during the Lunar Eclipse of July 16 2000.
Firstly, a flashing light came over a group of people who were
outside waiting to observe the eclipse. This Light was unusual
because it was silent and it stopped, and then shot off at high
speed. Secondly, two flashing lights came over and did the same
thing, stopped, and then took off.

Thirdly, another flashing light came over, this one resembling a
fireball, stopped and then changed colour from red to green and
blue and produced or "poured out" a very intensely bright light
which was followed by an intense explosion.

The whole street saw it, according to CC. After the explosion
the object flew off at about a 45 degree angle and disappeared.
The local police were contacted,  soon afterwards the Mill Park
police said a "car blew up" in the area.

This was not a rational explanation as no exploded cars were
reported in the area. Another witness about 2km away also saw
the light stop, and saw the sudden very bright light and heard
the explosion. Needless to say the eclipse fell into
insignificance in the minds of those witnesses who later had
difficulty getting to sleep with the events of the evening
staying in their minds.

Thank you George for this report
