On a side note, those of you claiming its an RC plane need to remember a few things:
1) Knowing a few neighbors/friends who are RC fanatics, the RC planes and helicopters are not only very delicate, but are also insanely expensive! Not to mention loud... A friend of mine who has a gas powered RC "jet" literally spent almost $20,000 on the thing, and it really sounds like a JET! People would be complaining about the noise.
2) Keeping #1 in mind, after spending so much money on a "toy" like that, why would you ever fly it so recklessly, especially at night?!?! All it takes is for you to go just a tad too far distance wise, and the signal would cut out, basically rendering the RC plane as a terrorist device! Can you imagine the lawsuits, if not criminal case that would stem from accidentally crashing one of those things into someones vehicle? or home?
Not saying I know what the thing in the video is, just saying I DO NOT think its an RC plane as so many of you are trying to debunk it as.

Until we actually hear from the RC club there in Geelong we can't say for sure that this is what this is. With that being said though, this certainly looks like a plausible explanation for what is in the video.
I have never discounted the possibility of RC aircraft being the source of the lights. I still do not believe this video was faked by the original filmer.
I believe Elvis(Maybe...Maybe Not) is on the way to that area now, and is hoping to contact members from that club. I'm really interested in what he might find.

I didn't receive a reply overnight.
I might try to call them today in case I can catch up with them on Tuesday as mentioned. I note Monday is a public holiday.
Kind regards
