With all the news sites buzzing about the recent pair of UFO sightings in China, this story out of Australia seems to have flown under the radar.
No pun intended.
Spectators at a local rodeo in Katherine, Australia were taken completely by surprise when a bright shining object slowly flew over their heads, then suddenly without warning, disappeared without a trace.
The aerial phenomena was witnessed by numerous bystanders at around 6:20pm both in and around the Katherine showgrounds.
"At first, I thought it was a plane that had caught my eye in the sky,'' exclaimed Mel Auty, a 35-year-old resident of Camira, Queensland.
"But it was more like a falling star, just not falling. It was slowly making its way across the sky.
"And it wasn't dark enough for stars to be out.
"It was going across the sky for maybe five seconds, before it suddenly disappeared."
"There was this bright thing and then it was gone," adds 8-year-old Rikkasha Barcley.
"It was really strange. I don't know what it was. It was there, then it was gone."
32-year old Vicki Mulholland was watching the rodeo, when the bright object distracted her from the show, "I looked up and something went across the sky."
"It kept going and going and suddenly it was gone just as if someone had switched if off."
What makes this sighting so important, is the fact that it is somewhat similar too what has been witnessed over China in the last two weeks.
What really stands out to me, personally, is the fact that object sighted last night in Australia sounds exactly like the one I witnessed over Riverside, Ca, just a little over two weeks ago.
A large metallic object, about the size of a passenger jet, a bright light or reflection, flying across the sky slowly before it just simply vanished.
Sounds eerily like the exact same thing.
I suppose the people of Katherine will be left with the same nagging questions I was.
At least I feel a whole lot better knowing that there are other people out there that have now seen the same kind of UFO that I did.
Makes ya wonder though, my sighting in Riverside, the two sightings in China, now the sighting in Australia, are they all connected somehow?
We will probably never know for sure, but I intend to keep watching the news wire to see if a pattern starts to develop.
Oh great, just what my life needed, another obsession.
