UFO Sighting in Australia: A Mysterious 'Flying' Object With Changing Colors Observed[Watch Video]

Scientists said on May 2, 2014 that Jupiter's moon Ganymede may possess ice and liquid oceans stacked up in several layers much like the popular multi-layered sandwich, and that this design may raise the chances that this distant icy world harbors life.

On August 31, an object flashing light of red, blue and green were spotted in the skies of southeast Melbourne and could most likely be a gyrocopter with LED lights, reported Herald Sun.

For over two hours, the light was seen over Carnegie from 9 p.m. onwards by the residents.

An expert said that it was more adolescent than alien in origin.

Toni Koromilas, a mother, took a video of it from her sister's home in Carnegie and she told Radio 3AW that it was weird and that someone had said it could be a helicopter, but it wasn't moving for an hour. She added that that they could have been off track and it could have been a plane, but it was still bizarre.

Ami Hasson wrote on his Facebook page that it was moving around in different directions for about 2 and a half hours above Carnegie. He added that it looked like a ball from a distance. But when he filmed it and zoomed into it, he was amazed as it looked like it had a dark square body with no light but had 4-6 colorful arms, reminding him of an octopus.

He continued that many people thought about what else it could have been, but he thought that they had visitors.

Perry Vlahos, belonging to the Astronomical Society of Victoria, said that when he was driving over Carnegie a few weeks ago, he saw something hanging in the sky. He noted that if the same thing was being referred to, then it was just a drone or a gyrocopter with LED lights that someone was flying.

He added that he could hear a whirring noise and that the object was just a few hundred meters high. Mr Vlahos continued that if one stood under it, he was sure that they would hear some teenagers laughing at the everyone's expense.

He explained that during an astronomical event like Venus low in the west or Jupiter rising in the east or when a bright planet comes into view, the number of UFO sightings tend to increase.

On an average, Melbourne gets one UFO sighting in a week.
