OZ File Sighting Report

Report taken from the AUFORN Mailing List
11.7.04 HOBART, TAS.
17.00 hrs (DO)
(Source: 1800 Freecall National Hotline Number.
Callin Code ñ 3386.
The witness was leaving a friends house on Hobartís
Eastern Shore when a bright object was noticed in the
western sky. A brilliant red/orange V shape could be
seen. It was seemingly moving slowly away and was soon
obscured by a nearby hill.
TUFOIC received a number of calls about the same
object as did some of the local media. All the
sightings were about 17.00 hours with the object
losing elevation in the western sky. The witnesses all
described a bright white to orange shape like a comet
disappearing behind the hills west of Hobart. A time
span for the sighting was from a few minutes to nearly
10 minutes.
The Centre believes the report was due to an over
flight of an aircraft from New Zealand to West
Australia. The upper atmosphere would appear to have
been quite dry hence a short vapour trail. The
aircraft would have still been up in the sun whilst
the sun had set in Hobart. The NZ to WA aircraft have
been the stimulus for sightings on previous occasions.
