1800 Callin Code: 00916. 14.09.2000 NSW
Date: 13.09.2000
Day: Wednesday
Time Seen: Approx 4.30pm
Location: Eastwood
Reportee: Paul C
Report given to nearest rep: Doug Moffett
Tel: 02 9
Report:
Paul was near the cnr of First Ave and Blaxland Rd at approx 4.30pm
watching the Olympic flame travelling thru Eastwood looking toward the
West, in the Parramatta direction, when he noticed a stationary,
slightly larger than, star like object. The object was observed for
approx 10 seconds, very low on the horizon, approx 5 degrees above the
horizon. Paul rubbed his eyes and moved his gaze to confirm it was not
due to a floater in his eyes. Paul then grabbed a camera but as he
brought the camera to his face he noticed thru peripheral vision that
the object had moved suddenly at great speed to the East toward
Chatswood. The object was like a 2-inch blur as it left Paul’s vision,
he estimated that the object would have travelled from Parramatta to
Chatswood in 3 to 4 seconds. The object travelled over the right
shoulder of Paul. The object was only visible for a brief time after
moving and Paul estimated where its flight path might have been. If the
rapid movement was not an optical illusion, i have no explanation for
the sighting. If the rapid movement was an optical illusion, it may
have been a plane coming at an angle that maximised its reflection that
then altered it’s flight path, appearing to disappear.

Doug Moffett
