I think I just saw a UFO…. or 3 of them.
I live on a small mountain (300m/1K feet) and usually wake up around 4am, well before dawn, then go outside to have a pee before beginning the day. The sky was particularly breathtaking this morning because it was totally cloud free and crystal clear. When it’s like this you can clearly see the mist of lights we call the Milky Way. It’s like looking at those NASA photos but when seeing it directly, it swallows you up.
This morning I looked up at the deep black sky shimmering with billions of stars when I noticed a long object moving overhead. The object was totally silent as it slid very, very slowly above me. It wasn’t quite close enough for me to make out its shape; all I could see was what looked like a line of lights. A line of lights (or round windows) with a gap about a third of the way across the object before another longer line of lights/windows began. It looked like a low flying jumbo jet if the jet was the same diameter but 3-4 times longer in the middle with all the interior lights turned on and without wings or a tail. A minute or two later I saw another light following behind. It looked like a light you’d expect from a plane but without the flashing white and red lights and also completely silent. Then a second light appeared going in a similar direction. Again, no pulsing aircraft lights and no sound.
What really seemed odd to me was the direction they were traveling in. It’s common to see passenger planes in this area and if they’re high enough, they can be totally silent too but they all go in a north to south direction (or vice versa) because they’re coming from Sydney or Melbourne (directly south) and going to Brisbane or Cairns (directly north). These objects came from the west where there’s nothing but farms, big ranches and desert and they were heading east over the ocean.
While UFO sightings somewhat interest me, I’m not a UFO fanatic by any means. I haven’t seen a UFO before and haven’t even seen ‘Close Encounters’ so I don’t go looking for weird objects in the sky or even thinking about them much but that sight was very, very weird – a straight line of windows 100 metres/300 feet (approx 3 Airbus lengths) slowly sliding across the naked sky with two lights following close behind and heading out over the ocean? WTF!!!
It’s coming on winter here so it’s getting cold but I might rug myself up, make a hot drink and sit in the dark for the next several mornings. This area was known as an Aboriginal meeting place so if there’s ever a place to meet extra-terrestrials, then this is it.
PS: When I realized that this was not easily explained away and that I should run inside, grab my phone and record what was happening, it would have been too late.

Someone has to save us from the insanity that has infected the planet…
