I am 28 years old, I finished 10 years of high school, I work as a Builder. I was 26 years old when this event happened.

I was living in a hostel in the Western suburbs of Hindmarsh, Adelaide, South Australia at the time.I consider myself a reliable person when it comes to information around the truth, and I hate time masters, otherwise I have better things to do with my time (Vice versa). My childhood was surrounded by an interest in aviation as I grew up, spending my days at airfields and airshows(raaf) around the area.I experienced all aspects of gliding with my father and showed an interest in joining the air force as a pilot (I didn't,but my brother did), yet I am still a fan of flying and consider my aviation knowledge to be up-to-date and well-trained.on the night of the event, most of the people in the box(out of 40 people) were asleep.

I and another man were watching TV alone in the main Tennant lounge and noticed that the older, more respected caretaker had gone outside for a cigarette after his evening duties. It was about 11pm our time.we were in the middle of a cold winter.suddenly he came in (frightened and agitated), speaking in an impatient tone:

"it must be armegeddon or Something, come quickly, see."

Then he hurriedly led us both outside, stepping outside into the thick, cold night air, you could see that the sky was devoid of any cloud cover, and the pollution of the city was very minimal, the stars were sparkling against the sky. But it was hard not to notice six round orange glowing balls in the North-Eastern sky moving in a South-westerly direction(from the Adelaide hills to the ocean), they were about 900 feet (270 m) above ground level, cruising at about 170 knots, they flew in formation, one in front and the rest in a tight zigzag formation behind it.

This was more than one anomaly, as you could see stars between the ship's distances, which I drew from my flight knowledge by listening to the engine sounds (there are none) I thought the port and starboard strobe lights (no).

Well, we were used to air traffic in the surrounding area, as many Airbuses came in to land at Adelaide international airport, and we were often under these vessels when they made their last approach(quite noisy, whether you were inside or outside), but these vessels didn't lower their altitude, and they didn't have any landing lights that were clearly visible among all the other aircraft. The display devices and should have been well and truly turned on, since the strip was only two suburbs away, in addition, these objects were slightly smaller (about 1/3 the size of a Jumbo), and only defensive ships I know landed in formation so close to each other, if that's the case.

But again, Edinburgh air force base was on the road (there would be airshows and major events in Adelaide that didn't exist at the time). These objects, although their formation was similar to a straight zigzag pattern, moved forward, but in a diagonal transverse movement we also noticed when we tried to talk to each other, starting from the lead ship, the glowing orange (amber) light grew, then returned to size, and then a second time.

The ships did this, and so on (almost like pulsing or pulsing) these ships continued at this height and speed instead of sinking to the ground, kept going until they went over the ocean and quickly disappeared from view, leaving the three men in awe.now it occurred to me how these ships could fly directly over an international landing space ,and not land at such an altitude and be within any aviation safety standard when it comes to civilian Airbuses, why they didn't land when they invaded that airspace, since that's what this final approach (landing) was used for.

Where there were any strobe lights to alert any other aircraft in the area to their presence (as was the case in the vicinity of the airport), there was no sound, which is always unavoidable from any individual vessel coming at this or higher altitude towards us, and yet 6 vessels and no sound.

We discussed that they might have been balloons, but the balloons were kept at a perfect distance from each other,the constant bright flames did not reproduce the noise common to balloons when they give it an explosion (we thought it was due to the pulsating effect) at 11 PM on a very cold winter night (who's brave enough to be there at this time), and these ships were heading southwest to cross the ocean, but all the sea breeze was coming from the ocean northeast over the city, and the fact that they were still over the city.Airbus lanes(balloons most likely landed at parafield airport North of the city).

During this observation, there was no news indicating any shows or events in Adelaide that are well-lit all the time (such as the presence of balloons or fighter jets) the fabric of balloons (usually pear-shaped) lights up at night like Chinese lanterns, they didn't look at all like I had seen balloons light up at night, so all three adult reasonable adults couldn't identify these vessels with all our knowledge combined.

I actually called the airport control room from a phone booth and subtly inquired if there was any aircraft there. In this area, without telling them what I saw, and they confirmed that there was no civil or defense air traffic in the area, and it was immediately after detection, makes me wonder why these ships were so obvious but so unknown.

I'm going to buy a decent video camera in case of any similar future events that might occur.

Original news

I AM 28 YRS OLD COMPLETED YR 10 IN SECONDARY SCHOOL,I AM EMPLOYED AS A BUILDERS LABOURER. I WAS AGED 26 WHEN THE EVENT OCCURRED.I AT THE TIME WAS HOUSED IN A HOSTEL IN THE WESTERN SUBURB OF HINDMARSH, ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA.I CONSIDER MYSELF AS A RELIABLE PERSON WHEN IT COMES TO INFORMATION AROUND TRUTH AND HATE TIMEWASTERS OTHERWISE I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH MY TIME(VICE/VERSA). MY CHILDHOOD WAS SURROUNDED WITH THE INTEREST IN AVIATION GROWING UP SPENDING MY DAYS AT AIRFIELDS AND AIRSHOWS(RAAF) AROUND THE AREA.I EXPERIENCED ALL ASPECTS OF GLIDING WITH MY FATHER AND TOOK AN INTEREST IN JOINING THE AIRFORCE AS A PILOT (I DID NOT BUT MY BROTHER DID) NEVERTHELESS I STILL AM A FLYING BUFF,AND CONSIDER MY AVIATION KNOWLEDGE TO BE UP TO DATE AND WELL TRAINED.THE NIGHT THE EVENT OCCURED MOST PEOPLE IN THE LODGE(OF 40 PEOPLE)WERE ASLEEP.

MYSELF AND ONE OTHER WERE WATCHING T.V ALONE IN THE MAIN LOUNGE FOR TENNANTS AND NOTICED THE OLDER MORE REPUTABLE CARETAKER WALKED OUTSIDE FOR A CIGGARETTE AFTER HIS EVENING DUTIES.THIS WAS ABOUT 11PM BY OUR TIME.WE WERE IN THE MIDST OF A COLD WINTER.ALL OF THE SUDDEN HE CAME IN (SCARED AND EXCITED)SAYING IN AN IMPATIENT TONE”IT MUST BE ARMEGEDDON OR SOMETHING QUICK COME,LOOK”THEN HE HURRIEDLY USHERED US BOTH OUTSIDE,ON STEPPING OUTSIDE INTO THE DENSE COLD NIGHT AIR ONE COULD SEE THE SKY WAS VOID OF ANY CLOUD COVER AND CITY POLLUTION WAS VERY MINIMAL THE STARS WERE BRILLIANT AGAINST THE SKY BUT IT WAS HARD NOT TO NOTICE THE SIX ROUND ORANGE GLOWING BALLS IN THE NORTH EASTERN SKY TRAVELLING IN A SOUTH WESTERLY DIRECTION(FROM THE ADELAIDE HILLS TOWARDS THE OCEAN)TO THE EYE THEY WERE ABOUT 900 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL CRUISING AT ABOUT 170 KNOTS THEY WERE FLYING IN FORMATION WITH ONE IN THE LEAD AND THE REST IN A TIGHT ZIG-ZAG FORMATION BEHIND THAT ONE.

IT WAS MORE THAN ONE ANOMALY AS YOU COULD SEE THE STARS BETWEEN THE DISTANCE OF THE CRAFT I WAS DRAWING OFF OF MY FLIGHT KNOWLEDGE LISTENING FOR ENGINE SOUNDS (NONE)O.K I THOUGHT PORT AND STARBOARD STROBE LIGHTS (NONE).WELL WE WERE USED TO AIR TRAFFIC IN THE VICINITY AS MANY AIRBUSES CAME IN TO LAND AT ADELAIDE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND WE WERE OFTEN UNDERNEATH THESE CRAFT AS THEY DID THEIR FINAL APPROACH IN TO LAND(QUITE SOME NOISE WHETHER YOU WERE IN OR OUTDOORS)BUT THESE CRAFT DID NOT DESCEND ALTITUDE,NOR DID THEY HAVE ANY LANDING LIGHTS THAT ARE QUITE VISIBLE AMONGST ALL THE OTHER INDICATION DEVICES AND SHOULD HAVE WELL AND TRULY BEEN ON AS THE STRIP WAS ONLY TWO SUBURBS OVER, ALSO THESE OBJECTS WERE SLIGHTLY SMALLER (ABOUT 1/3 THE SIZE OF A JUMBO) AND ONLY DEFENSE CRAFT I KNOW OF LAND IN FORMATION THAT CLOSE TOGETHER IF THAT.

BUT AGAIN THE AIR FORCE BASE EDINBURGH WAS ON THE OUT! SKIRTS OF THE CITY AND THEIR MAINLY FLYING -10 P3Cs ORIONS AND OCCASIONALY C-130 HERCULES OUT OF THERE ,PERHAPS FIGHTER JETS LIKE THE F/A 18 HORNETS AND F 111s WOULD COME IN FOR AIRSHOWS AND MAJOR ADELAIDE EVENTS.WHICH THERE WERE NONE AT THE TIME.THESE OBJECTS ALTHOUGH THEIR FORMATION WAS LIKE A STRAIGHT ZIG-ZAG PATTERN WERE MOVING FORWARD BUT IN A DIAGONALLY ACROSS MOTION ALSO WE NOTICED AS WE TRIED TO TALK AMONGST OURSELVES RATOINALISING WITH THE EVENT AT HAND THAT IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER BEGINING WITH THE LEAD CRAFT THE GLOWING ORANGE(AMBER) LIGHT GREW THEN RETURNED TO SIZE THEN THE SECOND CRAFT WOULD DO IT AND SO ON (ALMOST LIKE THROBBING OR PULSING)THESE CRAFT CONTINUED AT THAT HEIGHT AND SPEED INSTEAD OF DECSENDING DOWN TO LAND KEPT GOING UNTIL OUT OVER THE OCEAN AND ASCENDED RAPIDLY OUT OF SIGHT LEAVING THREE MEN IN AWE.NOW A THOUGHT ENTERED MY HEAD HOW COULD THESE CRAFT FLY DIRECTLY OVER INTERNATIONAL LANDING SPACE NOT LAND AND AT THAT ALTITUDE AND BE WITHIN ANY AVIATION SAFETY STANDARD WHERE CIVIL AIRBUSES ARE CONCERNED ,WHY DIDN’T THEY LAND WHEN ENCROACHING THAT AIR SPACE AS THAT’S WHAT THAT FINAL APPROACH WAS USED FOR (LANDING)MORE SO, WHERE WAS ANY STROBE LIGHTS TO ALERT ANY OTHER AIRCRAFT IN THAT AREA TO THEIR PRESENCE(AS IT WAS IN THE VICINITY OF THE AIRPORT)THERE WAS NO SOUND WHICH IS ALWAYS IMMINENT FROM ANY SINGLE CRAFT GOING OVER AT THAT OR GREATER HEIGHTS TO US AND YET 6 CRAFT AND NOT ONE SOUND.

WE DISCUSSED THAT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN HOT AIR BALLOONS BUT HOT AIR BALLOONS KEEPING PERFECT DISTANCE APART A CONSTANT BRIGHT FLAME NO IGNITING NOISE COMMON WITH BALLOONS WHEN THEY GIVE IT A BLAST,(WE THOUGHT TO DO WITH THE PULSING EFFECT)AT 11PM ON A VERY COLD WINTERS NIGHT(WHO’S THAT BRAVE TO BE UP THERE IN THOSE ELEMENTS) AND THESE CRAFT WERE HEADING OUT SOUTH WEST TO OVER THE OCEAN BUT ALL THE SEA BREEZE WAS COMING IN OF THE OCEAN NORTH EASTERLY OVER THE CITY,AND THE FACT THAT THEY WERE STILL OVER AIRBUS LANES(HOT AIR BALLOONS WOULD MORE LIKELY LAND AT PARAFIELD AIRPORT MORE NORTH OF OUR POSITION! THAT’S USED FOR MORE LIGHT AIRCRAFT USE)THERE WAS NO NEWS AROUND THE TIME OF THIS SIGHTING TO INDICATE ANY SHOWS OR EVENTS IN ADELAIDE THAT ARE WELL PUBLICISED ALL THE TIME (SUCH AS THE PRESENCE OF BALLOONS OR FIGHTER CRAFT)HOT AIR BALLOONS FABRIC(NORMALLY PEAR SHAPED) LIGHT UP LIKE CHINESE LANTERNS AT NIGHT THESE DID NOT LOOK THAT WAY AT ALL AS I HAVE WITNESSED BALLOONS FIRING UP AT NIGHT SO ALL IN ALL THREE GROWN RATIONAL ADULTS COULDN’T IDENTIFY THESE CRAFT WITH ALL OUR KNOWLEDGE PUT TOGETHER .I DID CALL THE AIRPORT TOWER FROM A TELEPHONE BOX AND SUBTLY ENQUIRED WHETHER ANY CRAFT HAD BEEN IN THE AREA WITHOUT TELLING THEM WHAT I’D SEEN AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO AIR TRAFFIC IN THE AREA AROUND THEN CIVIL OR DEFENSE,AND THIS WAS PROMPTLY AFTER THE SIGHTING,MAKES ME WONDER WHY THESE CRAFT WERE SO OBVIOUS YET SO UNKNOWN,I AM GOING TO INVEST IN A DECENT VIDEO CAMERA IN THE CASE OF ANY FUTURE EVENTS THAT MAY ARISE
