Source: AUFORN ONLINE UFO Report Form
Witness: Mr. X name withheld
Number of witnesses present: 2
Sighting Duration: 20 seconds
Occupation: Security Guard
Observation: I was a security guard at Greenbank Army Training Area.
This is a restricted area and I do not want my Name to be published with
this article. I am one of two guards who has seen these advents on
different nights. After doing a patrol at an 800mtr rifle range and
leaving the site, the whole area lit up orange. I quickly reverse back so
I could see down the range. I saw it at a distance of approx 1km, it was
1cm height and which lasted about 20 seconds. That’s makes it 10 storeys
high. It was an orange triangle above the tree line I look on the millary
map for this area which is a restricted map. It did not allow anything
that high to just disappear, a distance of 2 kms away had a deep gully that
could be use to hide an object this height, the rifle range also has a
very high dirt embankment at this end. Both of us also seen great
explosion of light in the restrict area. The restrict area is inside the
ring road that surrounds all of the different ranges. This area has been
off limits since world war 2, when it was a American Army/Navy Quarters
and storage area. This information is in the state archives. We were told
never to go into this area as it has unexploded ordinates. As it is an
restricted area it would be a good hidden spot for UFO activities. With
the explosion of lights we saw, no sound, just rainbows of white and
purple flashes, lasting some 10 seconds each.
Also not long before I left there, I had an encounter which I cannot find
an answer to. I was doing a patrol about 2:30 am, I was checking one of
the buildings in our patrol run. It has an rifle range next to it, it a
building for repairing targets. Approx 8 mtrs from the building is a small
group of trees durning the day you can see thru them. These trees are
between the building and the rifle range. We also have brumby's on site.
These horses were there grazing on the range. They were approx 6 mtrs past
the trees. As I started to climb the wooden stairs, a very LOUD roar sounded
behind these trees, I was quite alarmed and looked around saw the horses
with a frighten looks on there faces and running away, I did the same thing.
Maybe a yowie, who knows. I left this job not long after.
My thought on this matter was, could it be a watch dog for aliens. I
live next to the GBTA, have not seen any unusual objects just unusual sounds
coming from inside this area. I feel some what safe as there is a8' high
fence between us. One more thing I say is that I did a google search for
houses in my area, It also showed the map of GBTA. You could zoom down
to the area were I think the UFO was hiding. (But the Zoom is restricted at a
certain height above the ground) This is in the gully I saw a large head
looking up from a hole in the ground. I guess it was some 2 mtrs round.
I have told other people about this and they all have laughed at me. Is
here I am.
