G'day all,
Just wondering if anyone can enlighten myself and my F.O on what we saw last Thursday night/Friday morning at approx 2:30am.
After ferrying aircraft to Essendon from Tullamarine, whilst shutting the door to go home we saw an "Object that looked similar to a man on a pushbike going at around 80kts down runway 17". It was not motorised as there was no noise at the time and from where we were standing we would have heard it.
Only 2 minutes earlier there was a C402 that took off runway 17, and thats how I can gauge the speed as I did watch it take-off.
So is it a Ghost or a rather FIT OLYMPIAN training in the middle of the night?????????????...
I cannot be sure it was a man on a bike, but it was a silent but quick object.. but not big enough to be a car with lights off.
