A photograph capturing the four UFO's - which witnesses said hovered in the same spot for more than 10 minutes before simply disappearing - was snapped from Tom Ugly's Bridge Marina just before 5pm.
Photographer Ivan Mikkelsen, from nearby Sylvania Waters, said he first noticed the objects through a window on his boat before stepping outside to confirm the unusual objects weren't simply a reflection or a trick of the light.
"We just looked up and they were there. They were just sort of hovering there,'' Mr Mikkelsen said.
"They were quite high in the air, which is why I thought they might be aeroplanes at first, but they weren't, they didn't move.''
He said about five people at the marina paused to watch the stationary objects as they glowed over the city's west before they simply disappeared as quickly as they came.
"They just blinked and disappeared, whooshka, they were gone,'' Mr Mikkelsen said.
"I'm a bit sceptical, but it wasn't a reflection, it wasn't laser beams, it wasn't anything else.''
A spokesman for Airservices Australia, which managed aviation traffic, said they had not had any reports of unusual objects on Monday afternoon.
"We have had no reports of any unidentified flying object activity over the greater Sydney area on Monday evening,'' he said.
"However, at just before 5pm on Monday, there were a number of commercial aircraft operating.''
