SIGHTING: MELBOURNE, VICTORIA (AUSTRALIA)

Witness Testimony

"I was sitting in my lounge room watching a movie, I'd already seen the movie so I decided to go and take some photos of the stars I had recently got the camera and had been taking photos. It was 9:40 when I looked at my phone. I went outside and had my camera, I was playing with the settings when I looked up for a good shot, I looked over the house past the palm tree and to my eyes I thought I was looking at 2 brilliantly bright stars. I kept focused on them when I noticed that they were both moving. The lights were bright blue, like a shimmering blue. I looked closer shocked as I watched the two objects move across the sky towards the southwest.The object moved in an odd path like a snake moving across the sky. The small tail it had was quickly disappearing as the object moved. Then suddenly it faded and reflected off the clouds like a liquid firework but very subtle.The whole experience lasted about 15 seconds and I was so fixated I couldn't unfortunalty get a photo as the camera wasn't on the tripod and it was such a distance to shoot. I wis I would have been outside 1 minute earlier so I could have caught the whole thing.Quite amazing and at the same time I was rocked by this.Only happened 20 minutes ago at the time of writing. Still feeling a little odd from the whole thing."
