Full Description & Details

I am an investigator for AUFORN (Australian UFO Network) and have read tens of thousands of ufo reports some fake some explainable as missidntified natural and man made objects but I believe a majority of the sightings are what the U.S. Government call ETV's or extraterestrial vehicles. Below is a sighting I had in 1975 which sparked my interest in Ufology.

One night in April 1975 a friend of mine called me and asked if I wanted to go spotlighting for foxes, I said yes and traveled to his farm 10 miles south of Maitland and arrived there about 21:00

after going inside and chatting for a while

to my friend Brad, his Mum Pam and another friend Michael I said that I was going outside to get things ready to go spotlighting. As I walked out the back door (facing east) I noticed what I initialy thought was a large shooting star coming down from the east and to the south east but, the shooting star stopped dead at about 20 degrees above the horizon and began traveling across the sky towards the east and flashing blue red and white lights

I yelled to the others to "Come Out Here NOW! Look At This" they came running out and we all stood in the back yard watching as the ufo traversed the horizon.

I got my rifle out of my car and began watching it through the telescopic sight

and was amaized to see that it was, at a guess, 40 meters across and about 20 meters high disc shaped with windows aroud the edge of the disc and a flashing dome on top, the body looked like it was

made out polished aluminium, it looked so close that I had to move the scope to see all of it. Brad went to the car shed to get his binoculars which was further down the yard to the east

while Pam, Michael and I tooke turns watching through the rifle scope. After about 5 minutes Brad came back, he had been watching it through the binoculars and I could see from the porch light that he was as white as a ghost.

The ufo was at this stage around 1000 meters away and traveling towards us. I got scared and was going to have a shot at it but was told off by Pam so I lowered the rifle, as I did the ufo started to retreat to the east again and then headed slowly move off to the North towards Maitland, we kept watching as it became just a red flashing light until it was over the eastern side of Maitland where it hoverd, 4 other little red lights seemed to ented the (Mother ship) ufo and then the ufo took of in a slight arc to the east into the sky and disapeared in less that a second.

I have since seen many other lights in the sky but none more convincing than the above.

Please keep my Sir name confidential at this stage.

I could sketch the ufo in question if you wish.

I realise this is an old sighting but I think that the more that are reported the more pressure can be placed on governments in the know ...especially the US to disclose at least some of what they are withholding
