DISCS REPORTED IN AUSTRALIA
Filer's Files #29-1999 July 23, 1999 George A. Filer: MUFON Eastern Director

CAPE HAWKE, FOSTER -- Steven Gammage, his wife, sister, mother and father observed a disc shaped object moving very fast from the north moving south on July 10, 1999. The disc was seen north of Newcastle, New South Wales at 6:00 PM from an elevated viewing platform. Steve and his father were looking at Venus to the northwest that was very bright. Suddenly low down on the horizon a fast moving disc stopped and hovered at an increased elevation. This object was followed by another similar object but less bright. The colors were red-orange. The second object moved to a position over the first object and they both hovered together. At this point the rest of the family came out to view the objects and Steve brought out his reflector Telescope (114mm diameter and 900mm). He was able to view the first bright object and noted that it was disc shaped with a row of white lights across the middle of the disc. The disc was rotating but not so fast that he could not pick out the individual lights. He & his family watched the two objects for about 5 minutes. Both objects then shot off north at very high speeds and disappeared. About half an hour later a single object similar to the first two appeared from the north, hovered and then disappeared north again. Thanks to Peter Turner and Diane Harrison(UFO Research NSW)
