SIGHTING: CAIRNS (AUSTRALIA)

Witness Testimony

"7/ 74 - Cairns Ql d. Australia - Cigar - 1hr - Watched silver ship stationary in sky for 1hr then took off at great speed into the disI have kept this a secret for almost 35yrs, only telling family and occasional friend and thought it was time to disclose what we saw on a long deserted beach in a place far north of our state of Queensland called Cairns.I was on holiday with my ex-husband up in Cairns and we decided to go to the beach for an hour or two. As there are many beaches up North and it was not a holiday season, we were the only ones on the beach that day. We laid out our towels to sunbath for awhile and when I laid down, I looked up to the sky to the left and I saw what I thought was a plane with the sun reflecting off it and paid no attention. Approximately 10mins later I looked up again and it was still there and being a little bit surprised, I told my then partner and we both watched it and it did not move! I started to get nervous and said to him that I was scared and that we should go, but my partner said not to be silly and that it was too far away and it couldn’t harm us. I then said well it can’t be of this world and perhaps they were watching us and I wanted to leave, but he said for us just to watch it and see what happens, so we did even though I was scared.We watch this ship that I originally thought was a plane for approx. one hour and then it just shot off to the right and into the distance at incredible speed and disappeared.I say that it was cigar shape, only because it was a fair distance away and at first I thought it was a plane, all I can say for sure is that it was long and silver and stayed in the one spot for a least an hour that we were there, so it could have been there for some time before we arrived and when it disappeared, it shot off at incredible speed.I thought after all these years that I should tell someone, because at the time we didn’t know who to report it to and thought that we would be ridiculed.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.
