Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The craft was; 1. Donught shaped. 2. Very bright red (like a traffic light). 3. Large with an estimated circumference of a Boeing 737. 4. The forward quarter facing my view was a deep black square. The size of which would be about the size of a single garage door. Note: Apart from the bright colour of the object and its black square, the most striking feature was the way that it moved. It appeared to slip through the air without effort and when it began its accent it did so abruptly and without effort. A convential aircraft will leave you with an impression of the forces involved in its change in trajectory, whereas this crafts flight path change was done abruptly and without sign of the effort involved in moving what appeared to have a great mass.

Size of Object(s)

Holding my hand out I guess I would need about four fingers to cover it. I estimate the object to be roughly the size of a Boeing 737 airliner.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Primarily flat rural area, at that time davoid of tree apart from a single very large gum 50m from my window. The canopy is well clear of my view of the objects path.

Full Description & Details

The only times I've heard the animals on the farm behave that way before was prior to an earth tremor some years before. We did'nt have good fencing surrounding the house and it was the horses galloping past the window whinnying, dogs barking and howling and the cows mooing, all in quick succession that had awoken me. Even with the tremor I don't recall the horses and cattle behave this way.

My bedroom window faces almost directly north and is at the end of my bed. As I neared the bed end I noticed it was a clear starry night. As I arrived at the end of the bed and could see down the length of the Barton highway to the nor/nor west and immediatly noticed a bright red object come into view at the northly end. The Barton high-way runs north to south and passes our property roughly 1 Km to the east of us. The object appearred to be approaching my position at first glance, but as it neared it was clearly following the highway towards Canberra. I judged the crafts height above ground to be at or below 1000ft and as it approach my position and just before it went beyond my window view it began an accent.

The craft was only seen for about 3 seconds as it was travelling very rapidly towards Canberra at an estimated 5 to 7 hundred knots.

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

Not a hope.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Had never even know the topic existed before the event, however now I know I have tried to find out as much as I can.
