UFO Down Under

(May 2, 2010) Oneindia News reported that the number of sightings of unidentified flying objects in Australia have risen in the past week. The sightings are said to be occurring almost every night mostly in Darwin's rural area.

There was a woman who identified herself only as "Shirel" who witnessed a UFO on April 21. From her home in Humpty Doo, the UFO was seen hovering over Howard Springs and was described as "really low in the sky, really bright, with flashing dots", forming a semi-circle and hovering over the area "for at least half an hour".

There were more sightings at Coolalinga on April 24, Acacia Hills on April 25 and again in Howard Springs on April 27. However, astronomer Geoff Carr said that it is unlikely that extraterrestrials were responsible and attributed the sightings to weather phenomena.
