A Tasmanian man has described as "spooky" an unexplained flashing object he saw in the night sky above Launceston last week.

The lights flashed white and green for several minutes before turning out in the sky high above the tree line, he told the Launceston Examiner.

Brendon Hill first saw the flashing lights above Mayfield on Thursday night from his backyard balcony at Riverside.

He then witnessed the same lights on Saturday night.

"On Thursday I dragged my three mates outside to show them and they were bewildered - none of them could describe what they saw or could come up with an explanation of what it was," Mr Hill said.

Mr Hill looked at the site of the flashing lights through his binoculars the next day and said he could not see anything that would generate the same pulsing light.

"There are no buildings or towers in that area that could generate that much light - it was very strange how I couldn't see anything during the day," he said.

On Saturday about 9pm Mr Hill saw the flashing lights again and this time caught them on his video camera.

"It made my hair stand up on my neck," he said.

"It seems so unhuman, it doesn't resemble anything I have seen before and after seeing it with my own eyes it feels very spooky."

A Bureau of Meteorology Launceston spokesman said no sightings of Mr Hill's description were reported to the office.

However, there were reports of the Aurora Australis - or southern lights - which sends bright green and red lights flashing across the sky .

"The Aurora is more of a swirling, wave-like look across the whole sky: it does not sounds like his description," the spokesman said.

Launceston Air Traffic Control also did not have any reportings of the lights.

The Australian Defence Department was unable to comment.

Mr Hill said he had no reason to believe it was anything man-made.

"I don't mind if it turns out to be something really boring because it would put my mind at ease," he said.

"It's annoying not knowing what it was. My mind keeps ticking over trying to figure out what it could be."

  • it may be the reflection of his router/modem on the window he if fimling through. I think he is using a tripod to keep the camera that steady so long. at the end he just walks over and flicks the modem off and it appears to fade away. just my opinion.

    Facts.

    No one else has come forth and claimed to have seen it. even tho it was over a densely populated suburb. He only claims his friends were there.

    - the 2nd "day time" video could be anything/anywhere. its too blury. and is not a confirmation.

see all

  • I saw similar lights in Melbourne near my house in the suburbs but three bright red lights one was far to the left and another two that were closer together looked spread over a big distance and was pretty close to the ground comparing with the moon and stars i used as a reference they just faded in and out the one on the left would dim out first then the 2 on the right would light up after and pause for 2-3 seconds then start again i dazed for about 10 mins before deciding to head back home.

  • @bubbilybuttons yeh real alien ufo's don't flicker like this either.

  • @Yogsoggeth I agree, you hear something click and turn off the exact same moment. Don't buy into this one at all unless we had heaps of witnesses. The only ones that are legit are the 3 orb triangular formation ufos.

  • Just a house or a aeroplane

  • haha i was gona say nice house on the hill

  • lololol.

    my betsfriend and her family built a house up in the bush in mayfeild, up a 2km road that they call their dirveway.

    people walked up to where the lights were seen and discovered i twas the floodlights at my bestfriends house. becasue the have big industrail ones.

    i thoguht it was pretty funny when she told me. :P

    sorry guys, no aliens.

  • I like it, he's got a really steady hand unlike most shots you see this day
