SIGHTING: CESSNOCK, NEW SOUTH WALES (AUSTRALIA)

Witness Testimony

"I was up in the Hunter Valley, a wine growing area of Australia about half an hours drive west of the city of Newcastle having a drink with friends at a Hotel in the outdoor drining area that overlooked vineyards to the north with friends. About 9.50pm we notcie that ohtrher people were staring at a light up in the sky above the vineyards.The object objecting in the sky was a blue to white light and also seemed to have smaller lights around it. We watched it for maybe 5 minutes then I went down to the car and got my camera out. I filmed it in the video mode on my camera which was Lumix TZ10 for about 30 seconds, then stopped because it was hard to film becasue it was off in the distance above the vineyard and when I zoomed in it was hard to hold may hand steady so it was pretty shaky. So I stopped filming video to try and take some still photos to get a better picture of it. A minute or so later it had shot off really fast up into the sky. t was seen by about 30 or 40 people who were there out teh front of the hotel. I I never got to film it shooting off because I switched from filming video to taking photographs on my camera then it was gone. I have attached the best photo I took.But it looks like someone elsee who was there got some video of the same UFO and caught it shooting off fast and has put it on youtube. It's hard to see but have a look at*(link moved to Additional Evidence Section below--CMS/sg)*(Wit's name deleted--CMS/sg)."
