not a plane and there again we would have heard its engine".
This service has received 1000's of similar reports over the past year. A
number of similar sightings have occurred on the line between Adelaide to

A UFO sighting at Santa Teresa has the community concerned. For several
nights in a row a UFO was seen hovering over the community by many people.
Max Stewart, from Santa Teresa, described the UFO as a large glowing object
the size of a train hanging in the sky. The Bureau of Meteorology ruled out
the idea of it being the result of unusual weather patterns. And the
Control Tower at Alice Springs Airport said there had been no aircraft
which would meet that description. For all of you who are unfamiliar with
Alice Springs, They are just about in the middle of the Australian outback.
Put your finger in what you think would be the geographic center of
Australia and you will be very close to Alice Springs. Santa Teresa is a
very small community several Kms southeast of town.
