July 11, 1992. ( Report in " Kimberley Echo ") An unknown space object described as a burning ball or large bright object with a fanned aura of light surrounding it proceded toward the eastern horizon at about 6.30 PM. Broome Police received nine reports of the sighting within half an hour, and there were more sightings between Koolan Island and Kununurra. Mike Candy from the Perth Astronomical Observatory was unable to explain the object. " But it would appear to have been a large fireball or meteorite that crashed into the earth's surface." he said. Koolan Island residents reported a super sonic boom approx. two and a half minutes after the sighting. Mr. Candy said that the object may have crashed to the earth's surface somewhere in central Australia. Mr Candy also stated that " the sighting of a similar fanned span of coloured light seen late 1991, was " proven " to be emmissions from gas tests aboard the US space shuttle.
Mr. Candy also said, " However, another factor that is yet to be covered is whether the object that passed over the Kimberley on July 11 was connected to a spat of recent reports of blue lights being seen in the skies over the region. The source of these lights is yet to be determined because reports vary considerably as to size, number, shape, intensity and movement of the objects."
May 1995. Aboriginals form the One Arm Point area ( 150 kms north of Broome ) reported last Saturday evening that they had seen a very bright blue light moving all over the sky. Going up and down and moving all around, and than took off at high speed to the south east in a straight line. They saw it in an area where there is a min-min light. I have seen this min-min light twice. One of my friends has seen it a number of times in the mid 1980's.
My friend, Norm, who had seen the " boomerang shaped UFO" said that a couple of weeks earlier, he and his wife were awoken around 3 AM to hear a noise like an army tank or D9 bulldozer outside their house on Sunday Island. The house began to shake. Things fell off the shelves. This continued for some time, a minute or more. They thought it was a large earth tremmor. Then things settled down and they went back to sleep. Next morning they listened to the radio for reports of an earthquake, there was none, only the report of a bright noisy light seen over Perth. This was about the same time as their house shook.
May 1995. Norm and his wife saw a strange looking " storm ' brewing in the south towards Derby. It was a clump of cloud just on the horizon with lightning inside it. Norm remarked that it was strange to see a storm at that time of the morning when the rest of the sky was clear. Then the cloud began to rise higher into the sky and was round like a ball. It continued to rise straight up into the heavens until it just vanished from view.
