A report received by AURA on 29/12/03
from a local here in Adelaide.
Smithfield Area, South Australia
Anthony age 45, married, former soldier
Time sighting:
Either 10 or 11pm on Sunday 29th December 2003.
Travelling North East to South West not on a regular flight path. (Lives near RAAF base) and is familiar with air traffic in the area.
Place:
25 - 30o off the horizon 'In the atmosphere'
near the RAAF base over Smithfield area. He thought
it could be relatively close, heard no noise and thought
for a moment it could have been a helicopter but for the
colour of the light.
Object:
Very bright orange light much bigger then stars almost
as big as the moon. He couldn¹t make out the shape or any noise
Witnesses: Anthony and his wife
Movement: Travelled steadily then made a turn at constant speed until after 5 minutes it disappeared over the hills to the S.W.
Duration: At least 4 - 5 minutes
Brief Overview:
Anthony was outside having a smoke when he called his wife outside to observe a moving orange light which was very large, coming from the North. He did not think it was on a regular flight path because he lives near the RAAF base Edinburgh (DSTO) and is very familiar with air traffic movements.
The object was not a satellite because he knows what they look like and it was very much larger than a star at that distance. It was one orange light which he described as very bright.
