Late this afternoon I went for a short drive from the Kintore Community. I had a lovely experience with a Spotted Harrier who wanted to come down and check me over:
I had moved off from this spot to another one about 100 metres away, when something large with black/dark wings fluttered from the ground and back down again. While I was (unsuccessfully) looking for this bird, I heard a quiet "bang" from somewhere behind me, and it was quiet. I looked around and then noticed a strange cloud formation that was 140 degrees across the sky overhead, with black trails to the east and a strange "head" to the west. I'm not sure what it was, and am a little bemused that I was chasing something I didn't see when above me was probably the most amazing sight. If anyone knows what this could have been please let me know. I am guessing space junk or something, just by the "tubular" cloud formation. (best seen in the third photo)

Wonderful Spotted Harrier encounter and you captured it beautifully. Amazing UFO pictures too! I wonder if someone was testing something?
ReplyDeleteThanks Russell, Spotted Harrier was certainly a treat. Saw 5 on the road from Alice to Kintore (about 535 kms, 7-8 hours) but didn't really get a decent shot of any of them. The one today was much more obliging. I have been told that more than likely it was a test jet or US fighter plane. Suppose I'll never really know :-)
DeleteRichard,
ReplyDeleteYou can expect the aliens to show up at your doorstep late some night. Great photos.
Thanks John, I have the keyboard ready with and have been prcticing the Close Encounters ditty.
