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.”....
