Full Description & Details

It was when I was just eleven years old, my brother was just 17th, my father was retired from the head of Sub District of Lakmaknen, District of Belu, NTT Province, Indonesia. By chance my father got up early at around 04.00-04.30am. He was horified with some unidentief objects from the border of East Timor and West Timor, it was around 12-15km from our house. My father woke up me, my brother and my mom to see around 6 burning objects in the sky that were moving slowly in the border. They were in march sequently the smallest to the bigest size. We could witness they for around not less than10minutes, and they all disappered to southern horizon. Unfortunately we did not have any camera (camera is too rare).

The term UFO had been known by my father. He explained us if they were not really planes, they must have been very noisi and woke up all people. He told us, they must be UFOs. Even he also asked some people from the border, if they had seen the objects. Some people in the border witnessed that they were completly different plane, as they were iluminating with cristal in lamps and soundless and noiseless. Even a Catholic Priest from Germany who were living closed to the border confessed that he did not hear any sound from the flying objects that woke him up at the moment. It was thought that they were Indonesian Air's F20 Sabre fighting jets, but why no noice. As it was the beginning of fighting in East Timor. I would only say they are UFO.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Firstly my father fought that they were Australian fighting planes. But why no engine explosion at all. adn the shape was so different, and why so iluminating?

Witness Background

Office Manager for Jerman technical cooperarion in Indonesia, University graduate, I was an administrator before.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was still in he remote village.I had never read anything about UFO. Only my father explained me about UFO that he usually listen from ABXC radio. Only 2 years later I moved to city for school, I could obtain more information on UFO ( I like reading) from some news paper and magazine.

Other Comments

I just d onot have any current picture of any UFO at all, but were those objects Australian,s or USA's air crafts?. As all knows the two countries actively support Indonesian's militair action in East Timor. Perhaps they were sending secret inteligence operation in the border at the moment..
