THERE was something else out of the ordinary in the sky than just the blood moon when Garry Cameron was gazing out, hoping to catch a glimpse of the recent spectacle.

And although he says his eyes weren’t playing tricks on him and that he’s got the photos to prove it, he can’t find anyone else who also saw the ‘thing’ that appeared to crash into the beach at about 9pm.
Garry said as he watched the blood moon from his balcony overlooking Burgess Beach, a light appeared on the horizon, racing across from the south.
“The Royal Australian Air force usually flies jets out from Wingham, so I thought it was just one of those,” Garry said.
“I thought it was just a plane.”
But the light turned and hurtled towards Garry before it dipped below the tree line towards the beach.
“I thought it was going to crash into the beach so I ran inside to get my phone,” he said.
“It was the size of a Volkswagen.”
There was no crash, and Garry can’t recall any noise coming from the light at all.
“All of a sudden it popped up again. It was just a blob of light. It headed out back towards the moon. It then changed from a blob of light to a red hotdog-shape and swung round and headed north-west.”
While he has the photos on his phone, his neighbour didn’t see it and his colleagues at the Lakes and Ocean Hotel don’t know what to make of it themselves.
“One of them said it could have been a meteorite,” Garry said.
“But if it is was, it wouldn’t have got back up and flown off.”
When asked if he thought it was a UFO, Garry said he didn’t know.
However, Lakes and Ocean Hotel licensee Kai Acorn seemed convinced.
“I’m calling it a saucer,” Kai told the Great Lakes Advocate.
“You guys can call it what you want.”
