DID aliens from outer space become extra terrestrial tourists in Bendigo last month?A local man has captured footage of a baffling bright light, which he says moved slowly over his Ironbark property near Bendigo on April 14.

 

The blurry footage shows an apparently disc-shaped object hovering across the dark sky for about two minutes.

 

The man, who wishes only to be known as Anton - for fear he will be ridiculed over his discovery -said he was enjoying a cup of tea on his front porch at about 6.30pm when he saw the strange object.

 

``I had about ten seconds to go inside and grab the camera,'' he said.

 

``I don't know what it is. I think it's up to people to decide for themselves.''

 

He said he had been contacted by another local who had seen the bright light while walking his dog.

 

The following night, Anton captured a second hovering light, which a satellite tracking website later confirmed was the International Space Station.

 

The International Space Society chairman Kirby Ikin, who studied the footage, said the object could be a satellite, but it's trajectory seemed unusually long.

 

``My gut reaction is that it's moving too slow for a satellite,'' Mr Kirby said.

 

``It also seems pretty low on the horizon. For all you could tell it could be a helicopter flying over.''

 

Mr Ikin said it was not uncommon to spot moving objects in the night sky.

 

``If you wait and watch, you can see satellites passing overhead every night.''

 

But there were still plenty of galactic events that remained unexplained.

 

``I've spoken to astronauts who have seen things that they can't explain,'' said Mr Ikin, who is based in Sydney.

 

``A lot of aviation professionals see things that can't readily be explained - some weird and wonderful things go on.''

 

It would not be impossible for classified military aircraft to be flown over Australian, sparking UFO sightings, Mr Ikin said.

 

More than 100 satellites pass over Australia's skies in the course of their orbit. According to UFO interest site ufoinfo.com, there were more than 150 reported sightings of UFOs across Australia last year with 40 already this year.

I saw a UFO once....I was with friends having a few drinks...standing on the porch of a house in Brisbane when I saw a cigar shaped glowing object moving slowly across the twilight sky in the distance...for about 2 minutes I was totally gobsmacked....hair standing up...thinking this can't be real...a very, very eerie feeling...called everyone else's attention to it and we were all standing there gasping!!!..............until someone pointed out it was the "Whitmans" lightship!!!!! (you know the airship that gets around...now with holden badging I believe.)

My belief is pretty much as you have pointed out Winsor...there usually is a good explanation behind these 'sightings'

 

Good story by the way :]
