Cool. Where?Less than two weeks ago......
I saw a very similar 'satellite' moving south to north followed by an instantaneous turn to head east to west. It looked like a satellite at every point in its trajectory except that turn. This was about 15 years ago now.Less than two weeks ago whilst sharing a lovely bottle of red wine outside with my lovely lady.
I peered into the clear night sky,roughly 10/10:30pm.
I spotted what I thought was a satellite and said to the missus,"hey check it out",she was seated next to and I was easily able to quickly point it out to her.
"Wow,jeez the sure do move quick don't they".
We followed it for a few seconds when suddenly it made a 45(approx)degree shift in trajectory.
It was not a bank like a plane or turn like any craft I've ever seen.
It was an instant and radical shift at speeds unimaginable to myself.
It kept moving on its trajectory before disappearing out of our sight.
The wifey said "WTF"
I myself said "OMFG"
I'm sure there's an explanation other than alien shenanigans,but,it was
a profound and somewhat disturbing thing to witness.
Was nice to have a the wife witness it as well and not be the sole freak to this encounter.
We were freaked for awhile and was a cool story to tell the 10yr old boy about the next morning.
He just said "ya got any proof,I don't believe you,was it on the news?".
"Nup,brilliant questions kid,you'll just have to believe your mum and dad on this occasion" was all I could reply.
I'm in Frankston south.Cool. Where?

I'm in Frankston south.
It all took maybe 15/20 seconds.
Maybe 5 minut.....And how long did you see the UFO for?
I saw something like that about a month ago. I thought it was a rocket because it wasn't a plane/meteor/satelliteWell I saw something last night in the sky that has been bothering me all day.
A far off light with this glowing tail behind going straight up in the sky at a slow pace.
I swear it was a UFO because ####ed if it could be anything else.

My late grandmother, who was the last person I would ever imagine coming up with this, described an encounter in the 1970's, occurring about ten years before she told me about it. They were driving along a country road in Tassie one night when a big light appeared above them. They knew it wasn't a plane, and there was no noise suggesting a chopper. It moved around above them, and then shot off...
She was adamant it was a UFO, and if you ever met my grandmother, she was anything but a bullshit artist and would verbally destroy anyone who she thought was...I was so surprised when she told me this story...
People who are adamant they saw a UFO, you did.
It's an "unidentified flying object" unless you know or can tell what it is.
And would you believe it - after a year of looking and on the same day as being mentioned flippantly in this conversation, yesterday I found my adaptor in the bottom of a box of paint rollers...!
I saw orange lights, about 3 or 4 of them flying in strange formations while I was in India several years ago - It was when the Nepali earthquakes happened as I had just got back from assisting an organisation to drop aid packages into Kathmandu. I was in the jungle near the Nepali/India border (west side of Nepal) late one night with some friends looking for Elephants (not very smart) and the sky was clear as anything. It wasn't just me that saw them, there was about 12 of us sitting down and watching them for maybe 15 min or so? From memory they were all flying in perfect formation, but seemed to be able to go in all directions at break-neck speed.FWIW
In 1994 I was with some people and we stopped on the Bacchus Marsh escarpment one night, probably on the Blackwood rd but I don't really remember, to look out over Melbourne. The city was shrouded in low fog but you could see the tops of the buildings in the city and Essendon Airport (kind of) above the fog.
Really high over the city were some orange lights moving in ways planes or helicopters don't. I can't imagine aircraft being able to do what these things did and keep their wings on.
What was really odd was that police helicopters were taking off from Essendon Airport and flying up to check these things out, staying for a very short period of time before returning. I say helicopters because after the first chopper twice they flew up for a few minutes then returned to the airport while another took off to take their place. We watched for a while then drove into Melbourne to see if we could see anything from in town. In the few places north of the city that you see the sky thru the fog there was nothing when we got into town.
Don't ask me what it was. I've seen heaps of weird stuff and don't really take that much notice of it. What was notable was the cop choppers. They wouldn't stay up in the air for more than a few minutes, basically they'd fly up spend a second or two there then head straight back. Maybe not a second or two but definitely less than a minute. I saw one chopper in the air then two more replace it. After the third there were no more. I dunno how many choppers they had at Essendon back then, at least two but could have been more. My impression was that it was interfering with their ability to fly or maybe the pilots' ability to fly them. But its only an impression. I have no idea what was actually behind their rapid turnover. Or what we saw for that matter.
If anyone has access to Polair flight records from 1994 then it was some time over winter. Probably on a Sunday night but I dunno for sure. It was 23 years ago.
