First hand experiences
When I was 5 (1966) I was lying in bed at Moore St (Apollo Bay, VIC, Australia). It was dark and the bedroom door was open and I was in the bed directly behind the door (the foot of the bed was flush with the open door). All of a sudden a ping pong ball,glowing softly luminescent pale green, floated in through the door about four feet off the floor. It then made an exact right angle turn and came down toward the bed. I was frightened and rolled over, pulled the covers over my head, turned my face to thewall and hoped it would go away. I cannot remember anything after that. I must have fallen immediately asleep.
When I was 14 (Melbourne, VIC, Australia) I was lying in bed at Rosanna in the boys bedroom in the bed against the wall when I heard footsteps in the hall outside heading down toward the kitchen. It sounded as if someone had gotten out of bed and had draped a blanket around themselves, as there was the sound of a slight swishing and dragging as well as the footsteps. Presently the kitchen door opened and closed with a repeated noise (as the double hinged swinging doors at Rosanna do) and I thought someone had gone to get a drink of water from the kitchen. I waited a long time for them to come back. I fell asleep waiting. In the morning I asked all who were there that night if anyone had gotten out of bed and gone down to the kitchen. No one had.
Also at Rosanna (Melbourne, VIC, Australia) I was alone as mother, grandmother and sister had gone out shopping that night to Doncaster Shoppingtown. It was about 10.30pm and I was lying in the middle of the lounge floor listening to a tape of Dark Side of the Moon on Mary's tape, when there was a sound from the outside door leading to the billiard room as if it had been opened then closed. Next thing, after a short delay, the billiard room door started swinging open and closed (kachunka- chunk -a- chunkka-chunka) and I looked up expectantly for the kitchen door to do likewise, as I thought all had arrived home from the shopping trip. Nothing. The billiard room door ceased its motion. No sound anywhere. I listened intently. Nothing. No sound. No movement. I became a little frightened to say the least but simply turned up the volume and closed my eyes. Everyone arrived home about half an hour later.
Afterwards, my mother told us that strange things had been occurring for a number of years but had not wanted to tell us children for fear of frightening us.
After the house was sold, the new owners reported nothing at all untoward occurring.
When I was 15 I was walking between the house and the hut (Busty Rd Apollo Bay, VIC, Australia. A Dark night. No moon. I had just topped the final rise before heading down to (name removed) when I heard this really loud hissing/whooshing noise - heading my way very, very fast from an easterly direction. Something was flying through the air toward me! Extremely quickly! I immediately dropped to the ground and as I did so I realized that by the time I had reacted it had already passed overhead. It sounded as if it had literally missed me by only a few feet - but I had seen nothing. I quickly looked up in the direction it had gone and was presented with a very bright flash of light that lit up behind the whole cloud bank to the south west. Having in mind the 4 second per mile (?) of lightning to thunder I counted the seconds and waited for the bang that certainly must accompany such a HUGE flash of light - the cloud bank was perhaps two miles out - at least behind the furthest ridge. Nothing. No sound at all. It was weird and I was frightened. Yet somehow, even knowing I would be alone in the hut in the dark when I got there and that I considered turning round and heading home - I proceed onward anyway.
1993. Sitting inside the flat at Kellet St (Northcote, Melbourne, VIC, Australia). watching TV. It was a warm evening and Karen was outside talking to Rose the next door neighbour. Next thing I hear is "Bill! Bill" Come out here. Quickly!" I reluctantly- begrudgingly - rose and went out. They were pointing and staring at a large white light sitting very still in the air toward the North. It looked about 100 metres off the ground and about 300 Metres distant. It was just hanging there doing nothing in particular. There was no sound from it at all and it was not moving at all. It was rather large, about the size of the full moon when seen high in the sky - but this was no moon! No details could be seen in or around the light and it was about as bright asa car headlight on full beam although larger and without the blinding glare. We commented quietly but excitedly on its size, its seeming closeness to us, on the lack of sound, ruling out a helicopter, and the lack of movement, ruling out a plane. Suddenly the light winked out, reappeared some short distance horizontally to the right, although seemingly somewhat smaller in dimension and with what seemed a slight colour change, then it winked out to reappear at the same distance horizontally to the left ofits original position as it did to the right, then winked out and reappeared exactly where it was before. This all happened literally within the blink of an eye. It was so quick that I was unsure if I had seen correctly. Not wanting to prejudice an answer I quietly asked whether anyone else had seen something occur and if so what had occurred. Both girls stated what happened to the light - and their statements accorded exactly with what I observed. We marvelled at this for a bit, then the light suddenly began to retreat directly away from us, gathering speed rapidly as it went, until in a very short time indeed it had disappeared directly and completely in the distance.
Greenhills Road Bundoora (1996). (Melbourne, VIC, Australia). Sitting on the outside steps looking East. I was often there at all times of day or night to have my ciggies. Observed many planes heading for Tullamarine (the main airport approach route being about 2km to the north - flying east to west). Also observed a few interesting lights that I could not readily identify as planes. But nothing specific. Nothing startling. Then one morning about dawn I observed toward the eastern horizon a very large (huge), perfectly white, thin, almost pointed ellipse heading toward the east, finally to disappear below the horizon. It was, I suspected at first, a cloud of some sort, yet it did not have the pinkish orange dawn glow of all the other clouds in the sky at that time - and it did not change shape in the least as it moved. It also seemed to moving quickly while the other (normal) clouds were not moving at all. I have subsequently come across the term "lenticular cloud formation", but I remain unconvinced that this term describes exactly what I observed that morning.
1996 Driving along with Karen, heading North on the Street East of High Street Near Bell Street (Melbourne, VIC, Australia). when directly in front of me in a space between the buildings where the sky was visible, but low to the ground, a grey cigar shaped object flitted, moving extremely fast east to west. My immediate thought was a military jet of some sort, which for some reason had been painted completely dull grey with no insignias - then I remembered in my mind's eye that I had seen no wings or tailfin. However it happened so quickly I suppose it could have been. Karen did not see it.
2004. Lalor (Melbourne, VIC, Australia). 2am. Standing in the back door having a ciggie looking south. A star-bright object, but shining very steadily, arced very high up across the sky - South to North - extremely rapidly. It took about 4 seconds to cover 45 degrees of arc. It went behind the corner of the roof of the house but when I stepped out to remove this obstruction from my view, so I could continue watching, the light was no longer there.
Strange dream
Lying asleep on the sofa (Lalor, Melbourne,VIC, Australia) in the lounge room when a loud bang from the kitchen awoke me. Strange, I thought, there is no-one here but me. Or maybe Chewy (our dog) has knocked something over. I better get up to investigate- something fallen down? I got up from the sofa and walked into the kitchen. I looked around but saw nothing unusual or out of place. But then I thought there was something unusual. Something did not feel quite right. There was a strange aura about things. Wait, this is not right . Oh, what is this? Uh oh, it suddenly occurred to me, I might be still asleep! So I turned to walk back to the lounge and immediately found myself back on the sofa lying down. Once there I immediately sat up and thought - Wow, that was a very strange dream indeed, it all seemed so incredibly real! Unbelievable, I have never experienced anything like that before! What a trip! Oh well. But now I am thirsty. I will go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Still slightly bemused I got off the sofa and walked to the kitchen to get a drink of water. In the kitchen I looked around and thought. Hang on, something is still not right. What on earth? . It can't be. surely not, but yes, I am still asleep! So, back to the sofa I went! Literally walked back to the sofa and half way there suddenly found myself lying down on the sofa again. So I sat up confused (again??). OK, Am I asleep now? How can I tell? I have just had two experiences where I have ostensibly woken up, got off the sofa, and walked to the kitchen. Both times seemed so real, yet both times I must have been dreaming it! What about now? Pinch yourself, does it hurt? Yes, I am awake, will I go to the kitchen? No! I must do something else, the kitchen is obviously a dream world! I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. I think I am awake.
Second Hand Reports
A close friend. Bob, Sitting in his back yard in Northcote (Melbourne, VIC, Australia) lazily watching the westerly sun going down when an object rose vertically into the air in front of him. He took it to be a helicopter in the near distance. until it split in two, each part heading off at incredible speed in different directions to disappear in the sky overhead.
A neighbour (Lalor, Melbourne, VIC, Australia). Found a nicely framed mirror in good condition in a park. Disbelieving their luck to find such a nice object intact and in such good condition where they did, they took it home and hung it in their daughter's bedroom. Unaccounted for banging noises began occurring. Then one night they heard noises of a disturbance from their daughter's room. They rushed to open the door only to observe their daughter floating above the bed, near to the ceiling, in a wild state of panic. They managed, apparently with some resistance, to pull her down and to comfort each other. They told me they then threw the mirror away in the garbage and after that all was quiet and peaceful again.
Kelsey and Tami (Uncle & Auunt, Eltham, Melbourne, VIC, Australia). Observed what they took initially to be a motorbike headlight heading (as unlikely as this could be) across the lawn toward the glass door at the rear of their house in Eltham (Melbourne, VIC, Australia). However the light turned out to be a ball of light, slightly smaller than a basketball, that simply passed through the glass door and proceeded up the hall - three feet off the ground. No noise. I forget whether they said if it passed on up the hall and out the front door .. Or just disappeared inside the house.
When I was 16 (1977) there were reports of a UFO being seen at the entrance to the Wild Dog Valley (Apollo Bay, VIC, Australia). Apparently it was just a big glowing ball of light that had frightened the witnesses who saw it. These witnesses were ridiculed by local townspeople and after that the witnesses said no more about it.

50 Miles South Of Des Moines, Iowa Something Follows Jet Aircraft
Date: May 24, 2006
Time: Approx: 8:39 p.m.
In the evening of Wednesday May 24, 2006 while sitting and reading I saw a plane travelling from the east heading in a south westerly direction. It was at a high altitude of over 30,000 feet and appeared to be an ordinary 4 engine large jet plane.
The engines produced the white smoke that is seen coming from a high altitude jet, and it had 4 distinctive plumes, 2 from each wing. The wings were visible, though very small at this distance.
It appeared to be about 50 miles south of Des Moines, Iowa.
I went back to my reading after it was out of my sight, I had first noticed it looking out my back window, that face's East. In a minute or so something else caught my eye that was in the same location as when I first noticed the jet that had just passed.
Again it was about 30,000 or higher and it was about the same size as the jet that just passed. This object had no wings that I could see and the stranger thing was that it had no engine exhaust plume of any type.
I went outside and looked to the South West. I could see the original jet with it's exhaust plume and then again I looked up and looked at this fuselage looking object with no plume at all. It seemed to be "Tailing" this jet that was about 10 miles or more ahead of it. It appeared as if it was following the jet because it was tracking at what seemed to be the same altitude and also heading in a South Westerly direction, and was going the same speed as the jet in front of it. It looked as if it was following right in the track of the jet.

Lockport, Manitoba Black Triangular Shaped Object With Lights
Date: May 26, 2006
Time: 2:00 a.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Black triangular.
Tonight a male friend of mine and I went for a midnight drive to Lockport to share company and enjoy the night. We parked by the water and sat on the picnic tables talking. After being there for awhile, my friend pointed and said to me to look over because there was a firecracker in the sky. It was a bright light that was hovering pretty low just above the trees across the waters by the rich houses, and it remained stationary for about ten minutes after my friend noticed it and brought it to my attention.
Next thing, he is saying, look, its moving now. I looked and sure enough it was moving slowly across the sky at a low height. As it came closer over to where we were I could see it was a black triangular shaped object with lights on the three points of it and it made no noise whatsoever. It freaked us out. We just stared hard at it as it went slowly over us and I could clearly see it. It had a red blinking light in the middle of the bottom where the two points are and it moved to slow to be an aircraft of any sort. We watched it slowly move across the sky and then it eventually went out of our sight. It was exciting to witness this but at the same time it was freaky and scary for us. We never experienced this before. We left right away. As soon as I camehome at 2:30, I came straight on the computer to research on the internet and sure enough, there are many sightings like mine tonight and describing exactly what we saw in the skies. It was neat but it is scary and disturbing. It obviously is an advancedaircraft because I don't know of any normal aircraft that can hover stationary in one spot like that and hover so low without making any noise. Awesome to say the least, plus my cell phone was acting funny afterwards too and I believe it was because of that UFO we encountered.

Gatineau Secteur Aylmer, Quebec About 20 Witnesses Watch Light Display
Date: May 27, 2006
Time: 10:30 to 11:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: About 20
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Round very bright lights.
Sitting on the patio outside a bar on principle street in Aylmer at l`autre oeil bar. Three lights appeared coming from the river and came over top and they were about 500 to 1000 feet high, so everyone said what is that. I figured it was helicopters from the military base in Petawawa. They fly over often, but I had never seen as bright of lights and they were so low that 3 helicopters above we should have heard them, but no one heard a thing. Then the lights faded away one at a time until we saw nothingat all, even when the light went out we could not see a shape. It's like nothing was there. So people kept talking about that a little and then 20 minutes after that the lights reappeared coming from the river again. But this time there was a plane in the sky coming towards the lights. The plane seemed much higher then the lights. The lights faded one at a time but faster than the last time and there was a flash in the sky, not lightning. It was like a big camera flash and all was gone except for the plane flying above. What could that of been ? I don't know but even the owner came out the second time the lights came. Also the staff was standing outside to see it. It was really something and there was no noise at all. The lights in the sky were about thesize of a softball if you look at the sky and would hold a softball with your arm stretched out towards the sky. That would be about the size of how big the lights were.

Near Hamilton Dome, Wyoming Large White Lights & Strange Sounds
Date: May, 28, 2006
Time: 11:00 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 1-3
Shape of objects: Large white lights.
Last night around 10:30 pm I went outside with my new camera to see if it would take some good pictures of the stars. First thing I saw was a small satellite looking light move from left to right into a small star. I didn't think much of it, that wasn'tso scary. I looked down at my camera to get it set to take a picture when I looked up again around the same area (to the west) there appeared a huge white light. It just turned on like it had a switch. I aimed my camera up and by the time I took the picture it had moved to the north only a few inches then disappeared.
I was shaking real bad and came inside to get my husband. We went outside and watched for anything else. Nothing.
Needless to say, I asked him to take me out to the country where I can get a better look at the sky. I had a strong feeling something was up there and I could catch a picture.
We drove out about 20 miles into the middle of nowhere. Stopped the car. We were looking out the front window and looking up. We saw a huge white light fly over the car and when it got directly over the car it disappeared. I said " this is no shooting star" it had a shape to it. It had edges. It was so bright and white. I started getting spooked and told my husband that I feel like we are being watched. My husband is the last person to get scared of much of anything. He waited about 1 minute then said, "okay let's get out of here" Then he told me he had heard something out of his window, his window was cracked and the look on his face was something I've never seen !
He heard a gurgling sound coming from behind the car. Something he said he never heard before. He truly felt that we were in danger. Trust me, I was shaking from head to toe. I thank God I didn't hear the sound. I'd probably be in the hospital.
The only thing out there behind the car were acres and acres of ranchland. I was so scared. When we got back to the highway I looked back and saw the same white light fly across the sky then disappear. I'm so frightened. I've done years of ghost huntingand nothing compares to the fear I felt last night and even right now.
I'm most likely not going to be looking for them anymore. This is too scary. I really truly felt that my life was in danger.
Be careful all of you who are looking for them. Be careful. These aren't like ghosts where they can't hurt you. They are as solid as you and me.
One more thing I think is odd is that I had been coming down with strep throat and had a sore throat all day yesterday. When we got home last night my sore throat isn't sore anymore. I don't know what happened.
