Just witnessed some UFO activity! (PHOTOS!)

Ok, I was out in our garden feeding the rabbit, it's a very quiet, perfectly clear night & all the season's stars are visable.

I looked up into the sky, as I often do having a good knowledge of star formations & an ever growing interest in space & the universe. I then saw, in very quick succession, orange coloured bright lights flying extremely fast through the sky. They were about as high as a small aircraft, but they were silent. Once they reached the sky seemingly over the town center, they simply vanisned, they all vanished in the same spot!

They were not aircraft, as they made no sound at all, and were flying WAY too fast (so fast I struggled to photograph them), faster than even an large jet, and totaly silent.

The fact they all vanished in the same spot makes me think they were not lantens or anything simlar, way too fast & disappeared in the same place.

I have taken some photos, they are not that great.

Please note on the ones that looks 'sqiggly' they are not, they were flying so fast their images blured by the time my camera had processed the shot.

I have some of the dots though:

Please, if anyone can help debunk or ID these, I would be very happy!

Hmm...
How are we suppose to debunk or ID these?
Pictures didn't help to much.

I am happy for you though. Not everyone get the oppurtunity to see something in the skies they can identify.
However, I doubt this case will be either debunked or ID'd.

But keep watching the sky mate. =)

Hm, this is an interesting story, but the photos really prove nothing; those could be any sort of orange light. Ask friends in town if they saw them too.

We need more information.

What kind of camera, shutter speed, etc.

To me, they kinda look like sparks from a fire or a bug, especially if the shutter speed was set a certain way. But I'm no expert.

lol it was my digicam set on 'auto', I'm no photographer, and I just had to grab the camera & take them, as the lights were moving too fast.

As for asking friends, I have no friends apart from my partner (thank Asperger Syndrome for that, heh), but I spose I could ask around.

I can assure you that they were not sparks from a fire, these would have gone out long before reaching that hight, and if it is a bug, then the sky must be bugged because my eyes sure weren't! lol.

There was no smell of smoke that might accompany a fire, no sound, nothing.

I'm sorry the pics are not that good, or even good enough to meet most people's idea of a good photo on here, but please take into account the only photographic skill I have is setting the flash, setting the 'best' for the situation option and pressing shoot.

I had so little time, after running inside to get my camera. There were about 5-6 lights in all, all vanishing on the same spot. They did appeare pretty big too, big even at the hight they were at, larger than the light from a small plane, much too big to be a spark.

Again, sorry about the pics, you'd be better going from my descriptions.

Two words, all i will say is : Chinese Lanterns

G'day The Chez

Thank you for posting your interesting report.

The "flight" characteristics you describe + the "disappearances" of the objects are most unusual.

Unfortunately & as you acknowledge, your pic's just aren't that helpful

Perhaps some of our "heavy duty" photo guys can derive a little more info from you pic's, albeit I suspect it will be very little, if any.

But good on you for getting the pic's

Kind regards
Maybe...maybe not

Hey. Congrats on your sight and kudos on capturing some pics. Others may not see smoking gun evidence in your pictures, so therefore, don't recognize it as legit, however, I feel otherwise. Cannot, obviously, identify any sort of craft. However, you can tell they are high, going fast (due to zigzag appearance in pics), and are somewhat big. I'm very intrigued by these pics. Fascinating. Also, interesting they all disappeared (or turned lights off?) simultaneously at same place.

Thanks for posting, keep us updated, keep watching skies, and I wish the most/best of the Love/Light and Light/Love to you.

What would make chinese lanterns all vanish in EXACTLY the same spot? I would have taken this theory myself if it were not for the precise, almost aircraft-like movements of these objects. They seemed coordianted, I doubt chinese lanterns, which I have seen in the sky before, would behave in such a way!

I've seen like 5 UFOs in my life and at this point I find it asinine to try to debunk that such weird things are being seen in the sky.

The question is why are we seeing them?

Do they belong to the shadow government and its military projects?

Are they testing the public, hoping for people to report the sightings to Mufon, to examine reaction?

Are they scientist from other planets?

Are we seeing what is part of Project Blue Beam's holographic technologies?

G'day Itop1

To be fair to the op.....

His description of the speed of the objects does not correlate with chinese lanterns.

Albeit, it is obvious to all the photos do strongly resemble chinese lanterns.

Kind regards
Maybe...maybe not

maybe the lantern housing had solid corners or sides so the bright orange light was only visable from a certain angle, and you know high up there it is a lot more windy than on the ground so that could be why they seem to fly around eratic?

and when they "vanished" maybe thats when the flame went out?

I know, this is what makes me think they were NOT chinese lanterns, as suggested above. It was impossible to take still shots of them, and they appear squiggly in some of the pics simply because they were moving through the sky so fast.

I had seconds to shoot the pics. Then they vanished in exactly the same place.

I have seen chinese lanterns flying before, and one they don't get that high, two they go out at different times, not all at once in exactly the same location, and three they most certainly don't behave in a coordianted way, as I mentioned in my above post.

They weren't flying erratic! If you read my other posts, I described their behavour as 'coordinated & aircraft-like'. Also, there is pretty much a million to one chance of the flame going out in EXACLY the same spot, on ALL the lights.

I'm going offline now for the night, but by all means keep the theories coming, see you tomorrow

they could have been joined by string or other method?... im just thinking of the most logical explanation.

If they were fly fast = windy
if they flew together at the same time = they were joined together
if they vanished = flame went out
if they seem to vanish and come back again = a solid side or corner blocking the view of the light

These have been seen before in this area, but I am unable to load any of the articles. I'll try again tomorrow.

Oh, here you go:

G'day The Chez

Itop1 raises a very good point.

The wind conditions could be very different to what you were experiencing at ground level.

Have you looked into any local met reports that include wind observations by altitude?

I have also embedded the YT vid you linked to in your previous post.

Without further info, you cannot exclude the possibility (indeed probability) the objects in the YT vid are chinese lanterns.



Kind regards
Maybe...maybe not

Not tonight, as I am going now, but thanks, I will take a look tomorrow.

In the mean time, see that vid & link I just posted.

G'day again

I've looked at the vid, embedded it & offered commentary (above).

If you are inclined to state your location, I will look for met info for you.

Kind regards

Hello

I have witness the same thing as you, what you need to do is
1- use a camera stand to stabilize you're camera or else you will get those lines of light since the ETV moves very quickly
2- Always better to film them then take a picture
3- I know is hard to do especially at night but try to get another body structure in the picture of the ETV

Here are my pics ranging from worst to better
