While everyone was wrapping their Christmas presents Rob & I went out to wrap up a mystery after receiving a phone call from Shanna regarding a sighting that was happening right there and then. Some list members may remember the OZ UFO Ferris Wheel that occurred August 14th 1999. The AUFORN UFO Hotline received a call from Sharnna to say it was back. Rob & I decided to go and investigate to see if we could solve this mystery once and for all.
 
The last time it was sighted it stayed around for some 40 minutes so we took a hunch and drove out to the area in hope of catching a glimpse of this elusive UFO and Bingo we found it.
 
It's always good to solve a UFO mystery, especially one that has caused so many sightings reports. Thanks to Robert Frola's great eyes, and my driving, we finally found the light source.
 
It was local resident and business person Mr Cameron McGregor of North Maclean. He owned up to being the captain of the 'Ferris Wheel spaceship.' When we told him we had been looking for the light source for quite sometime he gave out a great big belly laugh and said, "You're lucky, I was just about to turn it off."
 
Mr Cameron said the night of 14th August 1999 he and his wife were celebrating her 50th birthday. Her present was a laser light show with two very big Griven Tracer 4000w lasers which can be visible for up to 20 Kilometers away. Each has 4000w HMI lamp and you can be use them in all kinds of weather.
 
Mr Mc Gregor said in future he will drop us a line so we know where he will be. He said he didn't realize how much trouble the lights would cause. He said it was a new business, "I started it only four months ago."
 
On a couple of occasions the police have come out to ask him to kill the light show due to their Emergency OOO line was being inundated with calls from concerned residents.
 
Cameron informed us the places in which he had been in the last 4 months.
 
Ispwich twice: (1) Council party (1) Happy hour at one of the local pubs Toowoomba: Just after the carnival of flowers it was such a clear night the lights were seen by some one at Stradbroke Island.
