REPORT OF UFO SIGHTING ON 18 MAY 2001

On Friday 18 May 2001 I was driving to a client in Reservoir. At approximately 8:10am AEST I was reaching the client and was travelling west on Edwardes Road, Reservoir. I had just turned right from Gilbert Street (which cuts Bell Street).

As you turn from Gilberts street into Edwardes Road you will find Edwardes Lake. This is a fairly large lake. Whenever I drive past the lake I like to have a look. The exact location is Melway reference: ________________.

On this particular morning, as I was starring at the lake, I witnessed an unidentified object suspended about 15 degrees above the horizon approximately 3 to 5 kilometres north of me. There was not a cloud in the sky at the time.

The object could only be seen from the lake area on Edwardes Road because the rest of the road is surrounded by trees and tall industrial buildings. Unfortunately this meant that the UFO was in sight for only 20 to 30 seconds. I could not stop the car due to the heavy traffic on this single lane road.

I did have the opportunity to note the following about the UFO:

• The object appeared to be motionless
F
• rom my position it appeared to be a perfect 'cigar' shape
• It did not have any wings but the shape was symmetrical
• The upper half of the UFO was silver or had a polished metallic finish
• There was a white glow similar to a fluorescent light on the underside of the UFO
• the features were sharp
• The area of the sky that I saw the UFO is a common flight path
• The UFO could not be confused for a plane, bird or balloon
• I guesstimate that the diameter of the UFO was the length of at least a large bus

Below is a diagram of what I witnessed

(Diagram not included with the report)

Note that I made a detailed file note of the sighting within 1 hour of the experience. This is a typed transcript of the said file note.

Realising what I had seen begged further study I immediately retuned. Due to traffic congestion it wasn't until approximately 8:14am that I was in the same spot on the Edwardes Road. The object was no longer there. It was nowhere to be seen in the sky.

I have no doubt that what I saw was a UFO. The experience has made me question a few things about my life. It has caused me some stress in coming to terms with what I witnessed.

Silver or polished metallic finish

White glow
