SIGHTING: SLACKS CREEK, QUEENSLAND (AUSTRALIA)

Witness Testimony

"I placed my sony video camera on a tripod in my back yard in slacks creek queensland australia around 7.30 am and aimed it at the sun as it rose above the trees beyond my neighbors house.I had the camera angled just above the roof of the neighbors house but left the top of tree in his yard in the picture.I wanted to film the sunrise.I left the camera there filming away for about an hour.When i played the film back i noticed a beautiful beam of light to the left of the sun..It looked like a multi colored parachute and the beam seemed to be coming from a disc shaped object near the sun.The disc shaped object is visible for around 30 seconds and is then covered by clouds although if you zoom in on a still image you can see it behind the clouds for some time.The beam of light stays visible for around eight or nine minutes before it too is covered completely by cloud.The object does not appear to be moving.At first i only noticed the beam of light and i thought it was coming from the sun and maybe reflecting of the clouds but if you follow the v shape of the beam it narrows to a point that directly leads to the disc shaped object.It seems to be projecting out (narrow to wide) from the disc not the sun.Because of the glare of the sun i did not notice anything odd until i played the video back.I just thought it was a beautiful sunrise and worth filming.My partner and i both sat and viewed the video.It looks amazing.
