Thursday 30th July
( sighting between 12:00 am to 1:00 am )
Its been the first clear night since the 25th ( in the wee small hours ) , I did my usual gazing up at the stars hoping for a sighting of the UFO…
This time i brought my Digital camera along , it’s a ratty Fuji , but it does sport a high resolution .
I set the picture quality to 4 million pixels F , it’s the highest setting the camera has , though I’ve no idea what the “F” stands for , and yes the flash was on …
Ok…things started out slow , I waited for around 40 min ( give or take ) and nothing happened , I noted that there where a few shooting stars zipping about , but that’s not uncommon , I was really starting to give up hope when all of a sudden …this is hard to explain.
Ok at the point in the sky I was looking at , there where two stars , as I’m looking at these stars , another star slowly ( maybe a second and a half ) faded into view beside them and then slowly ( same speed ) faded out again , I thought this was odd so I took a picture of the spot in the sky .
Every once in a while I would see a small flash of light in the sky and the occasional shooting star , I wait a while longer and then see the star like UFO move across the sky from west to east , I start snapping pictures trying to follow its path , as I’m doing this I can see that the UFO slowly gets a lot brighter , I’m hoping I get this on a picture and continue snapping , as it keeps moving it starts to dim again back to its original brightness and fly’s out of sight .
So I wait a while longer , encouraged by this sighting , about 5 min later another star like UFO shows , this one is flying in a path directly above me and is heading slightly more to the south this time , I snap pictures and I get one just as its about to fly over the building .
After this I had to come in as I wasn’t feeling too well and my neck was killing me .
Now to the pictures …firstly , let me state for the record here , my camera has pixel damage , the damage shows as some white dots on the pictures …its annoying , but they’re easy to pick out .
I loaded up the pictures and all but one of them show something …
This is the picture …

Now at best guess….the star like UFO was quite high in the sky , at best I should have caught a picture of a star , there are no reflective surfaces to send back light , so I’m puzzled at this image , considering that I took pictures of the first UFO that was a lot brighter than this and absolutely nothing else shows , the pictures a basically blank .
Ok its about 2:06 am now , the sky is now overcast , I’ve just gone outside to try and reproduce the picture , I’ve taken a number of pictures and I cant reproduce the same effect , whatever it is that’s on the picture isn’t an orb caused by reflected light .
