Happy New Year!

With all of 5 years left until the world ends (again) according to the Mayan calendar (or our interpretation of it) we wish you a healthy, prosperous, and adventurous 2007.

UFO sightings on New Year’s Day? Here’s one I found from Australia in 1996 at UFO Info:

The Chronicle, Wangaratta, N.T. - On January 1, at 9:30 p.m., while camping out at Myrrhee, a remote desert area 30 miles from Wangaratta, Geoff Simpson, his wife Robyn, and their daughter Maree, age 9, spotted a UFO hovering above the hills just north of their campsite and watched it for 30 minutes.

Geoff Simpson said the UFO “was bigger than the moon” and from 4 kilometers (2.4 miles) away, “still looked as big as two cars.”

Maree Simpson said the object “looked like a disco ball…its centre the same color as a Coca-Cola label.”

The Myrree UFO reappeared each night for five days straight. On January 5, Chronicle reporter David Newport visited the site. He got lost and arrived just as the UFO departed.

“Trying to find something interesting to see, I scanned the heavens through a pair of powerful bincoulars,” Newport wrote. “I gave up on the binoculars and resorted to the naked eye. I saw something. ‘Look,’ I said, ‘there’s a satellite.’”

“We looked. The satellite traced a slow and elegant path through the sky towards the constellation of Orion. Then, suddenly and inexplicably, it vanished from view.”

“Was that the UFO? Who knows? It was all very strange and mysterious.”
