I've given an approximate date here as I can't remember exactly what year this was however the details of the event are forever in my memory. My parents and I were getting ready to leave a remote bush property out of town (approximately 1 hour drive from Townsville, Australia) where we kept horses. It was dark but early evening and we were just waiting for the horses to finish eating before we left. The property had no electricity so it was very dark. It was a clear night with no clouds, lots of stars. My parents drew my attention to a big yellow/orange ball of light which was hanging stationary in the sky, above Mount Black, several kilometres away from us. It then began to move in erratic fashion, zipping across the sky then stopping, before zipping another way. We questioned if it was a helicopter however it was also moving diagonally so we realised that wasn't the case. It moved so fast but then it would stop. We watched it for several minutes and then it shot straight up into the sky, just bam! Gone in the blink of an eye. It was definitely not a plane or any conventional craft. The way it flew straight upwards in a split second, incredible. Since then I've searched the skies. I've seen a few very strange things but never as incredible as this.
