Enigma In The Canberra Sky ...

A clear blue sky this morning, and in that clear blue sky in the EXACT same spot as in previous days, was the EXACT same cloud formation! Well, not exactly a cloud 'formation' ... more like a cloud trail. Just hanging in there in the wondrous blue at about '3 0'clock' on the right hand side of the sun.

I wasn't driving so I was able to observe the enigma more closely, as we drove towards Monaro Highway. The enigma then had a much more interesting aspect to it ... one which even Kristine could see (she was driving) ... at the head of the 'cloud formation' was a rather large silver object like a craft. Except it WASN'T a plane. The object had the appearance of something oval, and judging by the altitude of the cloud trail, this object was massive! So what was it? I was thinking space station at that moment? But could the space station be seen in orbit in Australia at 8.15am in the morning? Would it have a cloud trail? A cloud trail most surely means something is in the earth's atmosphere does it not? This thing appears to be in the same position ... the trail has been sighted in the same spot over the last few weeks.

I looked again ... and the object appeared much smaller ... then seemed to just 'disappear' like it was cloaked! Then later when I noted the cloud trail once more ... the trail was still there hanging in the blue sky. But the large metallic object was gone from sight.

It is an enigma alright. It is most certainly not a cloud or a contrail made by a jet ... it is always the same shape and always in the same position every morning. So what is it? And what was the large oval metallic craft that was seen in the sky in the same spot?

The mystery deepens.
