| Description | In January 1988, five brothers in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia, were watching the night sky and observing satellites when they noticed a very bright object moving from the south to the north at high speed. This object then made an instantaneous, perfect 90-degree turn to the west and continued at a high rate of speed. The witnesses, all aviation enthusiasts, were unable to identify it as a plane or a satellite, leading them to speculate that it was a UFO. The sighting was highly unusual, and the witnesses still consider it a UFO to this day. |
