Wecome Roid!! Brilliant post, fascinating experience.

I am in Sydney so couldn't have seen it. You sound like you have a pretty good grasp on the basic mechanics of known aircraft, so your experience is all the more intriguing. I hope someone else saw this and posts it somewhere (if not here)! I will search the net for the next couple of days to see if I can find any relevant information about it to post here.

Coincidentally, the other day (April 1) I was watching TV and there was an ad for the upcoming news stories on channel 7 that included a clip showing a news report being filmed outside at dusk when a green lemon-drop shaped UFO came arching across the screen behind the reporter. I was stunned. The ad said something about this being either a UFO caught by the news camera or maybe the space station. In my heart I knew dang well that it was not the space station. It looked very much like a symmetrical oval-type UFO. And it was green!

I missed the news so the next day I scoured the internet looking for the story. I have read a few posts by others with the same amazement and curiosity as me, but not much more than that. One of the thread I found pointed to the channel 7 clip of the object (but I couldn't get it to play) http://au.news.yahoo.com/video/seven/index.html .

Someone mentioned it was probably the ISS and I guess most people just accepted this. I have looked and looked for any more information about it or further analysis, but I can find none. I did find a thread on a forum where a few people discussed seeing it. They never came to a conclusion, but one did say: "I saw the space station pass over Darwin a few days ago, rather slow moving and it shows as bright white, not green."

This "ufo" was caught on a news clip and shown as an ad as well as its own feature on the news to tens of thousands of viewers and no one seems to have cared or followed up. It is an interesting commentary on the level of overall public consciousness about such intrigues.
