Had a strange experience yesterday.
My Daughter and I were sitting in the kitchen enjoying a cold drink at about 8 pm. During a pause in our conversation, I looked out the large double window of the dining room and saw a cylindrical black object go past at about a 50 deg angle. The sky was still quite light as we are in Daylight Saving time still.
I saw the object only very briefly - maybe only a second - as it went past from a westerly to easterly direction. It disappeared from my field of view. It was moving very very fast. From my viewpoint it was about 8-10 cm long by about 1 cm thick. I saw it so briefly that I really couldn't tell how far away it was.
I commented what I'd seen to my Daughter and still not quite sure what I'd seen, when it suddenly appeared again from the east. Again I only saw it for the briefest moment because it changed direction in the sky and zoomed off in an the easterly direction it came from. The way it changed direction was astonishing! It changed direction instantly!
I again commented that it had reappeared to my Daughter. She dismissed it as maybe a bird, or a drone from someone's backyard etc.
No bird or drone or plane could stop and change direction like that! Especially at the speed it seemed to be going!
I thought maybe I was seeing things and thought no more about it. Till today.
A customer called in at about 4 pm to drop off her laptop for repair. (Her new puppy had pee'd on it! Yuk)
Anyway, she commented on a poster that hangs on the wall in my workshop. It is the poster from (X Files) Fox Moulders office with the UFO and the words "I want to believe."
The client said that "Maybe she should believe after what she had seen today!"
She went on to describe the exact same object that I had seen, only she saw it for about 30 to 40 seconds!
Unfortunately she was so astonished she forgot about her phone camera. She described it as a black cylindrical object about 10 cm long by 1 cm thick. During the time she watched it, it went from south to north moving very very fast. It suddenly came back in the opposite direction and stopped dead but instantly went in a vertical direction until it disappeared out of sight. It tumbled from end to end as it ascended. A couple of seconds later it reappeared in decent but was tumbling in the opposite direction. Again it stopped dead but went in a horizontal easterly direction without even the slightest pause. It returned a second or two later and repeated the vertical tumbling ascent/descent as before. Again it zoomed off in an easterly direction. Suddenly a helicopter appeared from the north, and went westerly toward the beach about 3km away. She thought the helicopter may have been the Westpac Rescue Helicopter heading to patrol the beach for sharks etc. It never reappeared although she watched for it for some time - with camera ready!
The lady commented that no plane or bird could have done that type of manouver! it was moving so fast and changed direction so suddenly.
Did we see the same object?
I think we did!
