View underneath the formation as I saw it. I could see the detailed surface features and the obvious ionized air surrounding each disc. [Formation actually wider then shown here]
A huge “V” formation of 7 discs 25 metres [80 feet] altitude just east of overhead heading north. This formation was huge. Around 25-30 metres [80-100 feet] in length, and each disc was about 3 metres [10 feet] dia. I only observed them for around 12 seconds, when lost from view over the house roof. Unfortunately, I missed catching them on video by just 2 seconds. The 7 round illuminations were surrounded by a white haze. This haze blended into the haze from the next disc. They were close together and “locked in position”
within the formation, and moving as one, in total silence. The light from each disc was intriguing in nature. A soft creamy smooth yellowish/white appearance, that looked to have depth. It was almost as if you could pass your hand through it and not touch anything solid. I consider these objects are, Super Intelligent Space living Life Forms that constantly traverses the Universe for no other reason than that is their realm of existence. The Hebrew word “Merkabar” [merc-a-bar] means, “The divine vehicle used by the divine angels or the highly intelligent beings when visiting earthly humans”. Yes, this is them.
The tree on the boundary fence was deciduous, and had no foliage due to the time of the year. I was ‘scanning’ the sky to the North-East, when my attention was drawn to a dull moving illumination seen moving through the branches of the tree. I had picked up this movement with my Peripheral Vision. [More on Peripheral Vision page 141] I watched as this dull fuzzy yellowish illumination emerged from behind the tree, and moved toward the house next door. I recall seeing the ‘fuzzy’ illumination just before it approached the television antenna on their roof. I could not make out any detail what so ever.
It was just a dull ‘fuzzy’ illumination. I remember thinking, “Is that birds?”
I had my video camera in my hand during the whole sighting, and at this stage I was not sure what I was seeing, and not thinking it worth while to aim my video camera at. I always have my finger on the record button ready to video at a moments notice, but decided not to video this just yet, because I could not mentally decipher what I was actually looking at.
Now here is the strange part. My next recollection of observing the formation of seven discs, is standing at point 6 metres [18 feet]
from my original observation point. The discs in the formation were now ‘crystal clear’ and at a point in their flight just approaching the television antenna on the roof next door. I still did not ‘want to’
start my video camera. I remember at this point of my observation thinking, “Keep track of the Time!” I repeated this in my mind 3 times.
The formation was so close and clear, I was a little concerned of what may happen if they saw me standing there. I could clearly see the ‘fuzzy white haze’ surrounding each disc. This ‘haze’ overlapped the haze of the next disc in the formation. They were quite close together.
I committed myself to closely observe the surface features of one of the discs. This was the last disc in the line of the “V” formation closest to me. The formation was moving slowly say, 50 to 60 Klm/hr.
at the most, and was slightly tilted up at the front. Each disc appeared to be “locked into the formation”.
I considered the possibility that each seven illuminations were a fixed window or convex lens type illumination attached to a single large object. But I finally observed that they were individual discs that were ‘fixed positioned’ within the formation.
The surface of the disc I concentrated on, was a soft golden yellow colour. It showed some depth within the illumination due to the other features I observed. The illumination from the disc was a mid-brightness yet very easy to look at. I compare it to the difference between a normal light globe and a fluorescent tube. The light globe is harsh on the eyes to look at, and sheds brightness around and from it.
A fluorescent tube may generate a similar brightness as the light globe, but is easier on the eyes if looking directly into it. This is what this illumination from the disc was like, easy on the eyes to look at.
The disc had a surface feature that looked like ‘white streaks’.
These ‘streaks’ reminded me of the surface of molten metal. They were irregular ‘jagged’ lines of white, 90 degrees to the direction of flight, about 50 mm [2 in.] wide. Similar to how you would draw lightening bolts. Behind these ‘white streaks’ was the overall golden/yellow colour of the whole disc surface and body of the object.
Then I noticed the inside front of the disc deep within the surface yellow, was another feature. This was a small area of a grey/
khaki/blue colour. It was faint yet noticeable. Each disc had identical features. This could be the “brain control” of the object.
The whole surface feature of the disc was such that I commented, “It was almost as if you could plunge your hand into the surface, and not touch anything solid”. It had that ‘feel’ about it.
The formation was lost from sight after about 12 seconds as it passed at low altitude behind the roof line of the house. If I had remained standing in the same position where I first noticed the moving illumination, I would have seen the formation much better, and observed it longer due to the greater expanse of sky I get from that position.
I continued to look above the roof line and got another quick look at the formation as it gained altitude and headed north out of sight. I could see the tilted front of the formation, as well as the top of the discs from this angle. This is why I concluded they were individual disc within the formation, and not lights or ‘windows’ attached to one large object. I quickly started my video camera recording, but missed them by two seconds.
I had seen these same formations at high altitude, sometimes five, sometimes seven discs, but never one as close as this one. I can still not explain how my viewing position had changed. I have thought about this intensely, yet can offer no rational explanation. Only thing I can think of is, that I am getting two different sightings mixed up.
One final note that I am unable to rationally explain is, next morning when looking in the bathroom mirror ready to shave, my face was red and felt Sunburnt. Maybe I was affected by a “radiation”
from the discs in the formation as they were very close. This could be possible, as I have no other explanation.
That sighting was a Thursday night. The next Sunday evening, I received a phone call from a young man asking, “Are there any UFO’s around at the moment?” I answered that there was, and asked, “Why, what did you see?” He went on to tell me how he and a friend were out camping the previous night on the banks of the Nymboida River, just south of Grafton. They were sitting by their camp fire around 9 pm, when they both noticed two UFO formations identical to what I have just previously described.
The first “V” formation contained seven yellow round objects, each surrounded by a white haze. A few minutes later, a second “V”
formation, this time with five objects. Both formations were at very low altitude and easily seen by them. They too were heading north.
Sunday 25-10-98. 00:31:00 hours. [12.31 am]
A man from Coffs Harbour said three family members were watching dozens of small Star like objects moving around all over the starry sky. They would slowly move, than stop. I had a look in the sky area available from my location and saw nothing unusual. What they were seeing must have been locally in their area.
A couple of nights later, I personally observed the same ‘Star’
like object over Grafton. Two at low altitude that just faded out over the city, and one at height altitude [20,000 ft.] that faded out but still seen. It increased in intensity like a bright Star before again fading out.
This may be another type of “Alien Probe”. Video was taken of this object.
