Full Description of Event/Sighting: It was Melbourne Cup Day 2003, about 1:00 in the afternoon, warm and sunny with a clear blue sky. I was walking south just before Nowra Mall in the main shopping centre when I heard seagulls screeching loudly overhead.
This was unusual as they do not normally leave the park area and fly towards the Mall.
Being a keen birdwatcher, I looked up and noticed a strange object in the sky in the direction from where the birds were coming.
It was black and hanging strangely in the sky, alternately rising and falling. Then it began to ascend quite quickly directly above the Woolworths building,"straightening out" vertically, appearing to writhe and ripple. It was jet black and did not show any reflection at all of the bright sunlight. It appeared to have ends set at a right angle.
As it continued to rise quickly, it changed shape completely to become a more rounded shape, solid, more "UFO like".
I continued to watch as it rose so high into the sky, almost straight up, that it became a small black dot. It suddenly flashed silver, then silver again appearing like a star, before disappearing from sight after about 3 seconds of shining. I thought it was very strange as it had not reflected any sunlight up until that moment.
The sighting left me very puzzled and I often wondered about it. Then, a couple of years later I happened to come across the Rense website and saw photos of an identical object in a photo of a woman called Mona Farrell standing in a crop circle in Canada.

There were other photos of the object, identical to what I saw before it changed shape. Someone had suggested it could be a lens flare as no one had actually seen the object in the photos but I know for certain that it is a real object in the sky, but I have no idea as to what it could be.
