Hi all ,have'nt been here for a while but this topic caught my eye .
I will tell my story about UFO's if you all promise to be kind.
I grew up in Adelaide South Australia and once in about 1970 I went fishing off the Semaphore jetty with some of the boys I grew up with in my area. It was a clear night with the stars clearly shining and things were quiet fishing wise, and we were just chatting when one of us spotted movement of a bright light ,about the size of a bright star but as it moved across the sky it was clear it was in our atmosphere as compared to the stars.
I remember we thought it must just be the light of a plane perhaps heading to the Adelaide airport ,but suddenly it was joined by several othe bright lights exactly the same and they moved up and down and across the sky at incredible speeds and we all felt fear for the first time ,nervously we talked about this display trying to explain it away .This display lasted about 10 -15 minutes and we gradually stopped talking about it and gave up on the fishing trip and went home and we never talked about it again as a group though the boy who lived next door to me talked about it privately once ,I think that we just felt we would get in trouble for making up stories.
I never forgot that experience and years later when I was married with babies and a wife in a different area a neighbor invited us over for dinner and slide show . When that was finished I conversed with the guy who was a air traffic controller ,he'd been on assignment for 2 years at Leigh Creek coal mining town , at the airport but now was back in Adelaide doing his job at the Adelaide airport.
Well I asked him about UFO's and he was hesitant but after making me swear not to tell anyone his experiences he told me they picked them up often doing impossible movements and speed on the radar which covered all of South Australian airspace. He did not elaborate with dates etc but he was sure they were nothing our science at that time could make. It just left me with a relief that I had seen something real back then but what it was exactly I don't know because they did not come down and give me a piece of evidence ,we just saw what we saw., and have not had another experience like it since.
So has anyone else seen this kind of thing?
