UFO over Gold Coast, Australia. June 5, 2010

UFO seen over the Gold Coast approximately 5.55am Saturday June 5th, 2010.

I was on the beach, at the water's edge and looked to the west to see a beautiful, bright moon. Except it wasn't the moon! It was a bright light moving slowly east, towards me and surrounded by a swirling mist. The mist rotated clockwise around the bright, white light and followed it perfectly.

The light moved slowly across the sky (directly above the Coolangatta Airport) and remained silent the whole time. It disappeared in the east (seemingly disappearing into a cloud!). This UFO was witnessed by many people on the East Coast of Australia and at this stage in time has been dismissed as being space junk. See for yourself.

It was NOT the ISS (Space Station) according to it's orbit information and time. It MAY HAVE BEEN the X-37B as it's orbit passed over Australia.


UPDATE: June 12th, 2010. It's been one week since I filmed this video and I want to thank everyone for their comments. I think the majority of people support the explanation that it is the Falcon9 rocket, spinning and venting fuel and is thus now an IFO, not a UFO! This fuel leakage reflecting off the morning sun certainly explains the glowing, rotating mist I saw!

Also, thanks for all the views. This video made it to Number 5 most viewed this week in Australia! I really am astonished just how many people have seen it. Certainly beats my Koala video, which strangely, no one has yet claimed to be fake!!!

Finally, to answer those who asked what camera I used. I'm pleased to report it was filmed on my touch screen Sony Ericsson Aino 8MP mobile phone, using Auto settings with Night Mode. I originally started fiming without Night Mode, but I could only see a white dot on the screen and quickly realised it was a waste of time. In hindsight, I'm glad I switched to Night Mode and if I had done so sooner, you would have seen a longer video! (Although I sound calm in the video, I had been fumbling around nervously trying to remember how to switch to Night Mode, so it did take some time to get my act together! If the object had been much faster I would have mised it!!!)

dude it is unexplained but that doesnt mean it is a ufo and i am not saying it isnt it could be but also coudnt be. and also as we know light is very fast but takes time to travel in space lkie billion, million years as space is humoungous so this could be a projection of something which happend ages away in space but the light of the happening just arrived at earth around the time u filmed it, and since its happening all over the world means its common in the universe though good work =)

@nik2507able Or it could just be a rocket (as detailed in my June 12th video description update)

[MrNoobishDudeAndgirl]

Sort of looks like the moon,Don't ya think?

[Haribolman]

@MrNoobishDudeAndgirl It sort of does...until you realise the moon was actually behind my head!

[MrNHLMan]

that's the milky way

[Haribolman]

@MrNHLMan Hmmmmmm?

[AussieTheOztralian]

Looks like a failed rocket test.

@jasonmildward What can I say...I had most people fooled, but you're obviously too smart for me!!

[Vampireskiss33]

Have NONE of you seen a rocket launch before? The behavior of the gases around this object, the consistency of the light it has (yes, I fullscreened it) and the rate of movement all scream "NOT A ROCKET". Seriously...watch a few videos of rockets being shot off at night, then watch this one again. You'll see it isn't a rocket. And if a rocket fails, it falls like a rock. This one didn't. Stop rationalizing and admit you don't know WHAT the hell it is. Sometimes, mystery is a good thing. :)

UFO and remote mind reading/manipulation technology was developed by the nazis by the end of WW2 without any alien help. : there is an extreme criminal orgonizaiton working withing high ranks of the US military waging psychological against the general population pretending to be extradimensional aliens and/or angelic and demonic forces often using holograms.

@nik2507able UFO doesn't mean alien spaceship knob. UFO mean unidentified... unexplained like you said but you clearly didn't know that.

[PrivateJoker17]

@nik2507able Do you know what a 'UFO' is? It is an 'Unidentified Flying Object', if whatever this was was not identified then it was a 'UFO'. That does not mean it was supernatural or extra terrestrial, just that it was unidentified.

[SvenTviking]

Shuttle launch or re entry? Or another space probe? I don't think it's fake and is not the moon. Could possibly be the mothership from Tau Ceti for all I know!

[edfeltch]

Duh,rocket launch.
