Full Description & Details

Driving north towards Cressy, my partner, myself and two teenage daughters noticed a very bright light low to the horizon to our left (west). At first we thought it was a plane but it appeared to be stationery, very big and bright, and very low ... so if it was a plane it would have been about to crash. We pulled over into the gate of a paddock and got out of the car. The light appeared to just hover above the paddock, no more than 100 metres above it. At times it appeared to move towards us, and then move back (on reflection this could be an optical illusion - perhaps it was 'growing' in size and then reducing giving the illusion of moving forward/back). There was absolutely no sound, no breeze, and it was a clear cold winter's night. At one stage it darted very quickly to the east, then hovered again for maybe another five minutes, then darted back to it's original position. We watched it for a full 15 minutes or so before it lifted silenty straight up and disappeared from sight.

*** Have subsequently been back to the spot, and noticed that it is directly above the main Tas Hydro power lines that travel from the Central Highlands/Great Lake area to the midlands/Cressy area.

Witness Background
