A sharp-eyed resident of the town of Bendigo in Victoria, Australia noticed a strange object moving in the sky on Tuesday evening earlier this week. The unnamed witness noted that:

'( I ) Just stepped outside this evening, enjoying a cuppa and this unidentifiable flying thing appears in the sky travelling steadily, I instantly ran inside and grabbed the HD video cam and captured what I could. As i was in a hurry, I didn't switch the cam to night vision mode, it was set to sunny, though it was dusk.

As for the shakiness, well I couldn't believe my eyes! This object tracked across the sky with a relative velocity moving in an arch from north to south.

I've included a few short shots at the end of the video to demonstrate how a star (B) looks through my cam and how an aero plane (A) looks through my cam, i took those shots five minutes after filming the object.

...I really don't know what this is.'

Rural Victoria is generally one of Australia's UFO hotspots. Generally most UFO sightings occur out of big cities. This is either because the skies are so much clearer than in the cities or as one rural Australian UFO enthusiast puts it 'There ain't much to do around these parts other than look up into the good old sky'.

Thanks to reader, Darren Carpenter, for sending us this video.
