Darwin UFO was actually a US spy plane

THE Coconut Grove UFO sighting last week of a black flying triangle with lights on its side may have been a not-so-secret US government spy aircraft, another witness of lights in the Darwin sky says.

Peter McVean said he was out with his dog "wetting a line" when he saw four evenly-spaced noiseless lights in the sky off the East Arm pontoon about 8.45pm on Boxing Day.

"The first two were spaced exactly the same distance apart as the last two but there was slightly larger distance between the first pair and the following pair."

He said they disappeared for a while as it was overcast. After about seven seconds they disappeared over the horizon just forward of the Wickham plant.

"There was no noise," Mr McVean said."I just saw what I saw. I am not saying it was a UFO."

Did you see anything strange in the sky?

Melbourne residents reported seeing strange lights in similar "triangular-shaped" arrangements near the Melbourne Airport about 10.15pm on Christmas Eve, according to the Herald Sun.

Witnesses reported seeing "orange lights that formed a diamond and moved in a synchronised pattern". Resident David Bekesi, 52, said the lights were visible for several minutes before disappearing.

A man in Rockingham, Western Australia, also recorded footage of a triangle-shaped object with lights on its sides and posted it on YouTube last Wednesday night, December 22.

Mr McVean said, however, last week's Coconut Grove sighting had the hallmarks of the "US military's worst kept secrets" black aircraft production. These are aircraft projects not acknowledged publicly by the US government or military.

The NT News was also contacted by another witness, Maryanne, who said she heard something strange at her Humpty Doo home, in Darwin's rural area, about 2am last Wednesday.

"It was a noise like a whirring noise," she said.

"I heard it come down, I thought 'Wow, that's low'.

"I thought there is no way that is not going to crash.

"It was really loud.

"I heard an electronic noise, like a noise I probably haven't heard before."

She said it hovered for between 30 seconds and a minute. She could not see it because her wide verandas obscured the sky.

"It was definitely something. It didn't sound like the engine of any type of plane I have heard before."
