Cheers for the warm welcome David it's great to be here!
Exuse this long reply & please excuse me for not getting back to you sooner in response to your last post

I've experienced a few unusual things in my time & in all honesty my strangest experience would have to be something I 'saw' traversing the night skies early last year. It is as follows:
Around 10:00pm I was heading home from my good mates house about 250 metres from my house heading roughly North-East. The night sky visibility was unbelievably clear considering my neighbourhood is littered with street lights...anyhow to the sighting.
By now I'm walking with my head pointed directly up to the stars and bathing in the awe of it all when passing very fast through my field of vision is this anomaly: 'It's a 'ball' of a golden/bronze coloured- extremely-brightly luminating light travelling at a very, very fast pace & oscillating between 2 points which would be about a 'foot' apart if you held your arms up 30 centimetres apart. Due to it's oscillating manner it looked asthough it was 'zig-zagging' through the sky! This object was brighter than any star or planet currently visible & may well have been moving at an estimated altitude of around 30,00feet or so...Hard to tell.
I was so excited I chased it (yeah I ran quite fast) down the road towards my house gawking & grinning as this was by far the coolest thing i'd ever seen in my life! It disappeared over the trees behind my house which was disappointing, but my guess is from spotting the anomaly to it's disappearance was a total of about 2 1/2 minutes.
I've also spotted 'star'-like objects moving faster than planes or satellites around my area's night sky & the most bizarre of those involved what i've conned a 'tracer star(thing)'....In other words if the first star is moving along at a fairly fast speed (looked asthough it may aswell have been in actual 'space' too) then keeping an exact proportional distance of around 1/2 foot behind it was another star, mimicking the exact route of the leading one!
I've got a few more tales under my belt of other occurances which i'll post at a later date if you David or anyone else is interested. I'm from Australia by the way, located on the East Coast of N.S.W just north of Sydney...My town is located at the bottom of a very large mountain which is where all of these incidences have occured....
Thanks for reading if you got this far I really appreciate it & again, apoligies for such a long post!
Goody.
