A TERRITORY politician has added weight to growing claims there are UFOs flying around in Darwin's rural area.
Independent MLA Gerry Wood said he saw a strange object fly across the sky above Howard Springs early Wednesday morning.
"It was a dark grey object and it was flying parallel to the ground - it lit up white at the front for a short period, maybe one or two seconds, and then the light disappeared and the object melted with the sky," he said.
Mr Wood, a self-confessed sceptic, said the object moved across the sky at a tremendous rate, but he didn't believe it was a plane.
"There wasn't a sound, not even a whisper," he said.
"There was no trail of sparks like you see with a shooting star, it was just a white glow at the front and underneath. I know that people won't believe this because, for starters, I'm a politician ... that puts me in the category of 'what a load of crap'.
"I'm also a sceptic, but I saw this thing, clear as day."
Mr Wood's report is the second sighting of an unknown object in the skies above Darwin's rural area.
The Northern Territory News reported yesterday that Acacia Hills man Alan Ferguson had taken pictures of what he believed to be UFOs flying above his home.
And now a long-term Territorian has backed up Mr Ferguson's claims.
Rob Kennon, 64, of Wagaman, said he saw what he believes was a UFO land at Acacia Hills in 1971. He said he was on his way home from a fishing trip with his mate, the late Harry Baxendale, when the spaceship descended slowly from the sky without making a sound.
"It came in far too slowly for a meteorite and it had huge lights," he said.
The men watched the unknown object land from about 2km away and waited for about 15 minutes to see if it would take off again. He said they never reported the sighting because they didn't think anyone would believe them.
Mr Kennon said he had not been drinking, and he had no doubt what he saw was real.
"We weren't hallucinating, that was for sure," he said.
