Strange Light over Perth
O'K I am one of the first people to discredit strange sights in the sky but tonight has done me completely. Myself and my mate, both ATPL license holders have just seen a very unusual light at 9:40pm local Perth time 30/8/04. It appeared from the SE and moved across the metro area towards Fremantle. It gathered height quickly and disappeared out towards Rotto.
The strange things are
a) It was a bright orange light with a circular ring around it with red lights
b) It made no noise whatsoever
c) 5 lights dropped from it over freo
d) I was thinking Military but we rang PH TCU who said nothing at all was on radar.
e) Also rang the police and observatory
I am only posting this on the off chance somebody elsy saw it and can put an explanation to it, and yes, I am expecting wise crack comments over this one, but it will be worth it to get an explanantion.
