990715 Sydney Hunters Hill NSW 5.10 - 5.30am.
 
Respondents report sighting up to 6 large flashing green lights high above the Sydney harbour bridge at a height that seemed to be about 10-15000 feet. The lights appeared to be stationary and randomly flashed at 6.30am a large cloud passed under the light with the result of blocking them out.
 
 
990714 Bunbaberg CBD Wongarra St Qld.
 
10.30am - Reports of a dark flying disc with a dome on top, in the north north east sky emmiting a very strong flashing light from time to time. Appeared to change into a cigar shape hard to tell but headed towards the north over the sea. Seemmed to be about Jumbo jet size or bigger and about 1-2miles away. Sightinged for about 4 minutes.

At approximately 10.15 on wed. 14. July 1999 myself & 2 others observed what appeared to be a disc hovering in the sky in a NNE direction from Bundaberg CBD. It quickly became apparent to us that it was not a plane though quite large.
 
As we watched, the object slowly began to glow very brightly, so bright that it seemed to grow to about 4 times its original size, then returned to "normal" in about 2-3seconds. This glowing was repeated every 4-5 seconds for the duration of the event,first a small glow followed by a bright one alternately, making the object appear to be slowly pulsating. I would estimate the object to have been 1 1/2 -2 miles away, judging by the level of atmospheric distortion and quite large. About the size of 2 jumbo jets viewed at the same distance.
 
As we watched, the object slowly began to move away until it was about a quarter its original size then abrubtly disappeared. The whole sequence took about 3-4 minutes. The object appeared to my eye as being about the size of a 5 cent piece held at arms length slowly getting smaller as it moved away.
 
It must be stressed that it was a perfectly clear day and object was at the wrong angle in relation to myself and the sun for it to have been a relection of light, nor was the object in any normally used flight path. I have discussed this description with the 2 people who were present & both have agreed that what I have discribed is an accurate occount of what occurred.
 
The object was disc shaped with a slight bulge at the center top & bottom, metallic in colour, no visible wings or means of propulsion, no vapor trails, silent and hovered for at least 2 minutes before moving at all. It was, all in all, a classic "textbook" sighting with all the hallmarks of a genuine, bonafide UFO event, in broad daylight over a populated area. It was so obious that I'm sure it must have been observed by others.
 
I must also point out that my father worked as an air traffic controller for 30 years and I would often accompany him and am very familiar with most types of aircraft. I have also worked for many years in movie production doing special FX and know how easiy illusions may be created and this was like nothing I have ever seen. That's about it. THIS IS NOT A FABRICATION!

Respondent reports sighting a bright orange-red illumination that seemed to be floating. It was tracked for about 15 minutes. It came from the East and headed west and after a short period it changed direction to the north west, it appeared to cover 8-10kms in distance and looked to be about 5 kms up in height. It did look like a small camp fire in the sky before it seemed to burn out .
