Something odd over Brisbane, Australia

Video will be following once I upload from my phone. Probably won't be very impressive but my main reason for making this initial post is to see if anyone else in Brisbane saw 3 orange/red objects? I am situated about 3kms to the west of the city and saw 3 objects moving north to south over the city from my perspective.

The are a lot of planes and helicopters normally but these were different. I can tell planes taking off and landing at Brisbane Airport.

I had gone out for a smoke and initially saw 2 objects. I ran inside to grab my phone and I think I got the last of the two. I stopped the camera when it disappeared but then a 3rd appeared so started the cam up again. Video cameras on phones are so bad at picking things up at a distance so I cant promise anything. I haven't even reviewed the footage yet as I wanted to get this post up quick in case others had seen it.

Follow up to come.

That's interesting..........I only say that because there was an object that crashed on a Fiji island last night, but so far there has been no further news developments..........Fiji is a country close to Australia, so you never know if what you saw may have something to do with that...........

Have you heard anything on the news about the object crashing in Fiji?

For anyone that knows the area, this is my approximate viewing angle

No I hadn't heard anything about that. Thanks for the links.

Still uploading video to youtube. First time I've done it. One has uploaded but looks even worse than on my phone. Are there settings I need to mess with to get the best result?

These have to be planes. Just went out for a another smoke and saw another one.

It's got to be a new flight path and possibly a haze over the city that is making them appear more orange/red.

I'm still uploading the unimpressive video for others to have a look at.

Ok, crappy video time

Not crappy at all. Better than a lot of other vids I've seen posted here. You get a S&F for going the extra mile. this is what ATS is all about.....

It does look a bit like an AC. Since you said you've since seen another, it may be. Keep sky watching, and good work.

Am uploading the last video from my second smoke break.

You live just round the corner from me....

Gotta say though that your field of view is staring directly at a major flight path and planes do often circle which means to a viewer a few km away they can appear as though the have stopped while they fly towards or away from you until the plane suddenly veers.

Unfortunately I spend half my life on planes and when landing in Brisbane the pilots often do all kinds of weird stuff. Great effort with your thread though...

Yeah I realise the flight path problem but after 5 years of living here, these just looked odd.

From my "smoking spot", this is the first time I've seen things move at this angle in this direction and with such an orange/red glow.

But of course planes are an obvious possibility.

Cheers. I'm all for sussing things out and getting second opinions or a hundred opinions lol

Good work with the footage , pretty steady
Whatever it is it seems it was doing whatever its doing almost exactly four years ago , does this look like what you saw

I'm actually outta town but my other half tells me Brisbane had some crazy storm pass through just a few hours ago. It might be just wierd atmospheric stuff playing with the lights. Having said that though I've definitely seen some strange stuff happen also (no footage though) so I don't wanna take anything away from what you've seen...

The footage looks very similar to mine but after tonight I realise the huge difference between what it looks like to the naked eye and what it looks like through a camera phone so I would hesitate to say it's the same.

Almost exactly 4 years ago to the day, that's pretty cool.

Funny you should say that because I was wondering why I was seeing some lightning lol. The storms weren't over the CBD as I had nothing where I am. May have been over the east side toward the bay.

Last video of the second smoke break. This one almost convinced me they are planes but I'm still stuck on the colour and the unusual path.

Well after that one I think I too now believe it probably is a plane

Well the video is actually very good....

The way it moves through the air doesn't really resemble any kind of aircraft flight path I would like to be on....

Being in a plane flying around like that I think the sick bags would be out straight away......
