Glowing ball of light travelling slowly east.

At 7:45 pm in an early December evening in 1994 I saw an orange ball of light come up from behind Mt. Keira, which overlooks the city of Wollongong in N.S.W Australia.

It moved at a steady pace eastwards long enough for me to call out to my family to come and see. The light emanating from it seemed to fluctuate between different hues of yellow and orange through to red, but did not hurt the eyes to watch, nor did it make a sound.

There were no other aircraft in the sky, which is unusual, as Wollongong often has domestic aircraft traveling over it from Sydney to Melbourne and Adelaide.

After about 15 minutes it shot out over the ocean, beyond sight.
