SYDNEY // There has been another UFO sighting in Australia’s rugged Northern Territory after a group of farm workers and backpackers reported seeing mysterious lights hovering over an outback cattle property. “We were sitting out on the pergola having a barbecue and we see this light coming towards the house,” said Ray Aylett, who runs Muckaty Station north of Tennant Creek. “It wasn’t an aircraft and was too low to be a satellite and it kept on coming before it flew away. “The next night it came back. About a week later another one came towards me down at the front gate blinking orange – red, orange – red. I was waving to it to try to get it to come down to have a yarn to me but they won’t come near you.”

Sightings of UFOs have been reported across Australia for decades, and have been documented by amateur enthusiasts from a host of groups including the UFO Experience Support Association, Dark Matters Investigations and Cosmic Connection South Australia.

Over the years many of these so-called ufologists have flocked to the tiny Northern Territory settlement of Wycliffe Well.

“We’re recognised as one of the four hot spots in the world for UFO sightings and they’re seen pretty regularly here,” said Lew Farkas, a former sailor who manages the local caravan park.

“Over the years I’ve had quite a few sightings. The most common is lights zipping around the sky doing fancy manoeuvres but when they’re close up you actually see the shapes of them. Traditionally they’re triangular shapes, metal-type objects with portholes and they change shape. The last six months have been hot for sightings.”....

For half a century, Rex Gilroy, 65, has gathered a mass of evidence at his home in the town of Katoomba that he said proved that extraterrestrials do exist.

“I’m not a fruitcake,” he said. “I’ve seen everything from mystery lights in the sky to saucer-type craft that hovered over Katoomba late one afternoon a few years ago. I was near a shopping centre and there must have been about 100 other people standing around with their shopping bags looking up in the sky at this blue-glowing craft.”

Mr Gilroy, who heads the Blue Mountains UFO Research Club, said the object was 30 metres wide.

“I don’t think they’re out to do any harm,” he said. “They’ve had plenty of time to do it. It seems they are interested in us. I don’t believe a lot of the stories we get about beings that are reptilian in greens and blues. They probably have the technology that can propel a craft from one planet to the other in the time it takes us to drive to the supermarket. We’re still in the Stone Age by comparison.”....

Why does a UFO keep its lights on? Are we deer in the headlights to them. Or do the conspiracy theorists wish it was that way?

Intergalactic traffic laws. You can’t operate a vehicle without running lights and your four-way flasher must be functional.

Happy to help.

Grab your 30-30 and take a shot at it.

They keep their lights on, becuse they want us to know they are tooting for Obama.

LOL!

I bet it makes a real nice ringing noise — just like the old shooting galleries.
