it was an oval shape just like a football but more rounded at the edge. like a dinner plate that is turned on it's side but not flat . it was illuminated with a glow or mist around it and was of a dull silvery-white color. it wasn't bright like a street lamp but more like a flourescent light and wasn't as bright as a spot light.

Size of Object(s)

about the size of half your little finger nail at arms length. about the size of a car or light aircraft maybe a bit bigger and longer. 20-30ft maybe

Description of Area / Surroundings

We where at the entrance to a nursing home in a suburban street (residential area) up on a hill which overlooks the surrounding area, in an outer southern fringe suburb called Frankston , approx. 40 km from the city of Melbourne. Frankston is on Port Phillip Bay. To the west is the beach and bay area and to the east where this object was there is bushland and sparse homes and parklands (flaura and fauna reserves)

Full Description & Details

I work with Doctors in an after hours locum medical service that provides home visits for sick people who wish to see a Doctor at night, rather than going to a Medical clinic during the day. We start at 8pm at night and work through till 8am the next morning depending on how busy it is. It is our job to travel by car all around the suburbs of Melbourne to see one patient after the other and also to service the many nursing homes in the outer suburbs. Myself and a Doctor had just arrived at a nursing home in Frankston at around 3:oo am in the morning on Thursday the 20th of April this year. It was a clear night sky with a little chill in the air and the only thing you could see besides stars was a fog bank rolling in from the East toward us. The Doctor got out of the car and went to the rear passenger door to get his briefcase and medical supply bag ,I also got out to stretch my legs after a long drive from the last patient. I stood up and was facing east toward the fog rolling in when I saw what I thought was a very large star low in the horizon and just above the fog bank. I wondered what the hell it could be because it was too big for a star and too small to be the moon which was behind me on the beach side. It just sat there illuminated like a flourescent lamp ,oval in shape and very much like a football but with a glowing type of mist all around it. it would have been about half the size of your smallest finger nail at arms length and had a feeling that it wanted me to see it if that makes sense. It was completely motionless and seem to be waiting or hovering for about 1-2 seconds. It didn't make any sound at all which I thought was strange but one thing I felt though was that it seem to be hiding or useing the fog as a camouflage. A strange thought came over me like I was supposed to see it there and then when that happened, without hesitation shot off like a rocket at a speed that I still can't believe. it headed off in a north easterly direction toward the southern end of Mt. Dandenong. It didn't slowly build up speed ,it was in a split second faster than anything I have ever seen before. It was many times faster than a jet and the best way to describe it would be to say I have seen shooting stars and meteorites at night streak across the sky many times and it reminded me of that type of acceleration. It was one second still and the next doing thousands of km an hour , it had a vapour trail behind it the same color as the craft and was shaped like a flame as it travelled .The whole thing only lasted about 5 seconds or so but what I saw that morning has stuck in my memory as though it happened yesterday. No aircraft that I know of could have reached the unbelievable speed that this craft did in a split second. Nothing man made could have the amount of acceleration that this craft did and the way it hovered and glowed in the dark. It was a dull silvery white in color and it must have been at least 20 or 30 feet across. about the size of a light aircraft . I know what I saw was real and no one can tell me otherwise. it has left a lasting impression and picture in my mind which I will never forget. The Doctor also saw this ufo craft and his words were "the martians are coming" and then he laughed. he does not want to say anything because of his fear for what his patients might think if they knew there Doctor was seeing ufo's .. most people will think he is nuts. I have heard about sightings and have always been interested in the subject but never thought I would see one for myself. I believe very much now that we are not alone on this planet and are being visited by other people. I am not crazy and being in the medical field have seen many weird things but nothing like this. You have to have an open mind on our world and who we share it with. I am a believer and only took my time to report this simply because the doctor has now gone overseas on holidays. Thank you.

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

No definately not. it went from hover to faster than a jet in a split second and left a vapour trail behind it.

Witness Background

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I had always been interested in the subject and found I was a bit sceptical about what other people saw. now I am 100% convinced and what I experienced and saw was real. you cannot tell me otherwise and I am keen to know more on the subject
