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.

| The Mothman Prophecies
- John A. Keel West Virginia, 1966. For thirteen months the town of Point Pleasant is gripped by a real-life nightmare that culminates in a tragedy that makes headlines around the world. Strange occurrences and sightings, including a bizarre winged apparition that becomes known as the Mothman, trouble this ordinary American community. Mysterious lights are seen moving across the sky. Domestic animals are found slaughtered and mutilated. And journalist John Keel, arriving to investigate the freakish events, soon finds himself an integral part of an eerie and unfathomable mystery...Translated into over thirteen languages, John Keel's unsettling account of what he encountered in Point Pleasant has long been regarded as a classic in the literature of the unexplained and is now the basis of a major motion picture. |
