Hi Charmaine
This guy said that he had just seen the Newspaper report about the sighting over Adelaide last night. He said the report of the sighting was wrong in the paper, and that he saw 2 Aircraft going towards the lights in the sky and then the lights took off and disappeared.

Report:

I rang Joe and she said her husband was sure a fighter plane went after the UFOs??

I rang wing commander Rick of the Edinburgh RAAF base and again we had a good chat about what was going on. He told me he wasn't aware of the sightings until the newspaper story again.? He informed me he had checked his log to see if anything was reported over the weekend and no one to his knowledge called the base to report anything. He also informed me of the stance the RAAF have in regards to UFO reports " we are told to inform the public to call the police" we don't want to know??. ( he said this nicely )

Comment Diane:
Charmaine I have no problem talking to Rick as I feel he understands what we are trying to do in regards to informing the general public of what they are seeing. And what is really refreshing he has an open mind. He said in an age of video cameras we should be getting some of these sightings on film, when I told him we have this time he kind of went quite for a moment. I informed him we had film and photos this time and are awaiting results.

Rick informed me no fighter planes went after anything on Saturday night that he is aware of. He said "Diane unless we feel we are under threat we send nothing up because it cost to much never mind chasing balloons". ( a fair comment)

Awaiting results
Still under investigation
