At about 4:45 this morning,sept 12th, i went outside for a cigarette, when i looked to see if it was cloudy, but saw stars, but then i noticed an orange one moving rather rapidly, id did not have aircraft lights, as i watched it head north, then it did a rapid zigzag from left to right rather quickly at least 4 times, then it disappeared over the horizon.I am ex air force, and don't know of any aircraft that can manouver that quickly. i am the east coast of australia, near ballina in nsw.
