SIGHTING: NORTHERN NSW (NSW, AUSTRALIA)

Witness Testimony

"Silent golden globe executing radical manuvers before accelerating up into space.I was standing outside my friends shed in Northern NSW. Isolated area no city lights at all.I was answering a call of nature, night was very clear, winter in southern QLD, Northern NSW tends to clear nights and little cloud cover. I was watching a light plane on the normal flight path from Casino, a small regional centre 1 hours drive away, disappearing over the boarder ranges (range that straddles the border between nsw and qld). I could see the blinking navigation lights and just hear the engine noise faintly.Just then a golden sphere moved into my field of vision moving west to east, across the normal flight paths and below the altitude of the light plane that was just disappearing. A lot closer in fact. It moved in total silence for a bit, then executed several high speed zig zags across the sky. Hard to tell how far but way beyond the capabilites of any aircraft I know.It then proceeded at the same slow pace as before briefly before accelerating extremely fast up into the sky while dimming to total black. I caught one or two glimpses as it shot up into the sky as it cut off the light of a couple of stars. Then I lost it.As an aside I wanted to call out to my friends in the shed but could not summon the will? to do it. Very strange feeling indeed.((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. PD))"
