In the early hours of March 31, a resident of Toormina, a quiet town in New South Wales, Australia, reported witnessing a mysterious and unexplained aerial phenomenon. The sighting, documented on the website of the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), describes a large, triangular-shaped object moving silently across the sky, just above the town’s shopping center.
According to the report, the incident occurred at around 4:00 AM local time and lasted approximately 25 seconds. The sole witness initially mistook the formation for a flock of birds or bats, due to its motion and shape. However, the size and structure of the object quickly dispelled those assumptions.
“I saw around a dozen dim lights at the front of it, flying in a triangular formation,” the witness recounted. “It came from the northwest and traveled southeast, at an altitude similar to planes preparing to land at the nearby airport—but it was going the wrong way.”
The object was estimated to be the size of a basketball court and was flying just 200 to 300 meters above the ground. The observer noted its speed as roughly equivalent to that of a Boeing 737, suggesting a fast, controlled flight path. Crucially, the object emitted no noise, and its lights were dull rather than bright or flashing.
Upon realizing the unusual nature of what he was seeing, the witness ran outside to get a better view—but within moments, the object had vanished into the sky. “By the time I understood what I was really looking at, it was already gone,” he said, adding that he remained outside for two hours hoping for its return. It never came.
No other reports have emerged to corroborate the sighting, and no official statement has been released by local authorities or aviation bodies. Still, this account joins a growing number of unexplained aerial encounters reported across Australia’s east coast in recent years.
