On the 23 April 2017 at approximately 9.45 pm. It was a exceptionally clear night sky with no clouds. I had just exited my car and noticed the amount of stars that were visible. This was the only reason that made me look up into the sky. I was just saying to myself what a wonderful view we have in Australia with so many stars. I was panning my vision around and was only a few seconds when I noticed what seemed to be that part of the sky was moving. I realized that a dark object was moving across the sky and it would block the view of the stars as it passed between them and myself. It seemed to be just gliding silently above, at a steady slow speed. I was trying to analyze what I was seeing. In a matter of a second my first thoughts were, 'A huge bird, no bird is that big, a Terrordactyl, a hang glider; no one would hang glide at night.' 'What the f#@$ is that,' I said aloud. All these thoughts went through my mind in a matter of a second. It seemed to be about 20 to 30 metres above the ground and shaped like a boomerang or a airplane without the body. It had very dim lights all along the leading edge, maybe eight or ten of them. I was totally mesmorised by this object and had never seen anything like it. There is no way it was a airplane as it was totally silent, and too large to be a plane in the distance. No way it was a drone as I have seen drones and they are not silent when this close or are they this big. It was not a flock of birds as it... Read more

It was not a flock of birds as it was totally uniform and so perfectly smooth in its movement.
I guess the whole sighting was between 8 to 10 seconds, as it drifted away and just vanished from view. Not like it shot away or sped out of sight, just disappeared into the dark.
I turned to call out to my stepson who was inside but the door was shut, so I did not bother calling out. It was amazing and baffling at the same time. About a week later I timidly mentioned this to a local shop owner, to my surprise, and admittedly, a bit of relief she said, 'Heaps of people saw it and it was on the news.' I had not seen the news or heard anyone else mention this.... Collapse
