Toowoomba Monday 7th June 1999 [reports from our Toowoomba rep] Hovering orange light 2 to 3 minutes. Object fell from one side of it like molten lava. 2 minutes later, fell from other side of it.

Ban Ban Springs [near Maryborough], Tuesday June 8 1999, 10.10pm
A woman living on a rural property reported seeing a blue light approaching her house and shine directly through one of her frosted glass windows. At first it appeared like a spot light or headlight of a car and she thought it was someone driving on the road on her property. Her father-in-law living 1klm further up the road saw it as well. He said it was as strong as the blue light on a police car. She also heard from the local towns folk that a truck driver on the road from Gayndah had seen something fall from the sky. The woman said the sky was hazy and looked quite different and some of the local people reported seeing a bright blue flash over the valley.

Mundubbera, Tuesday June 8 1999, 10.10pm
A man reported seeing a bright flash like a blue police light through his house window. He jumped out of bed, but could see nothing. One minute later he felt an earth tremor that shook his house. He lived 5 miles out of town. The next day people in Mundubbera reported hearing an explosion and a noise like someone kicking the door. The man stated that related reports were made as far north as Gladstone and as far south as Nanago. The next day he went to the Raglan Air strip south of Rockhampton to an Air Show which many locals attended where there was much talk of this incident. The Gayndah police initially interpreted the reports as a possible aircraft crash. [Editorial Comment - This report should be considered with the Ban Ban Springs report, and strongly suggests a meteorite interpretation. The delay of the earth tremor of about a minute suggests that the impact point was at least 100 km away from this witness].

Tivoli, Friday June 11 1999, 1.30am
A woman reported seeing 2 bright lights in the northern sky moving then disappearing. One of the lights was three star lengths. She thought the lights were unusual enough to get her husband out of bed. They both observed them for 15 minutes. The lights were moving faster than a commercial plane.

Toowoomba, Saturday June 12 1999, 8.25 to 8.35pm [Numerous reports from our Toowoomba representative]
Two people saw two stationary orange lights. Bottom one moved to top one then disappeared. 9-9.30pm: People saw orange lights in diamond formation. Blinked and fell away as if like parachutes, but one went upwards and they all disappeared into different parts of the sky. No noise. Most people saw something like lava, fire or flame drop from the objects. and at some stage splitting into 2 groups. All seen over the southwest of Toowoomba near airport.

The Toowoomba Chronicle contacted our representative for the area, Karim Hashim-Jones, after a woman reported seeing unusual objects in the sky. This prompted further reports to Karim from approximately 14 other witnesses who also saw unusual objects. The reports related to a sighting that occurred on the 12th of June between 9pm and 9.30pm involving orange lights that, according to some witnesses, appeared to form an irregular diamond shape or a diagonal line. Some of these witnesses reported that something that looked like molten lava, fire or flames dropped from the objects towards the earth. Most people reported the objects splitting into two groups whilst making no noise and appeared to be over the vicinity of the Toowoomba airport. Enquiries by Karim to the local showgrounds and the airport have failed to reveal any events that could explain these sightings. This newspaper article further stimulated a report from a woman dating back 24 years when she was driving through the town of Inglewood and was startled by an orange object that "jumped" in front of the car and performed acrobatic antics before disappearing. By the time she arrived in Toowoomba that evening there was already an article in the paper from a recent previous sighting reporting very similar events to those of the 12th of June this year. Another report was received by Karim for the 12th of June but the time was one hour earlier between 8.25pm to 8.35pm. This report involved a woman and her father who saw 2 orange lights stationary in the sky, one below the other. They turned to see an aeroplane in the opposite direction and when they turned back the bottom object rose to meet the top one and the two either merged into one or disappeared behind the other before rising further and disappearing.

Springwood, Wednesday June 16 1999, 6.32pm

For example it dropped from 55 degrees to 20 degrees in one second, paused for one second then ascended to it's initial elevation in another second. Circles were traced out over a period of about 2.5 seconds and wave motion lasted about 1.5 seconds per wave. the moon had gone down and it was a perfectly clear night.

Another member of the family had also seen the bright light. Some days later her son [who had remained at Yaroomba Beach while the rest of the family had gone home] saw another bright light. A year earlier, the woman had seen a bright light through a window of her home in Wellington [in Brisbane].
