An orange colored UFO sighted in the night sky of Darwin


A strange orange colored object was seen in the night sky of Darwin in North Territory and the footage that has been captured shows a bright orange streak of light flying through the sky over the Northern Territory. It has left the children who spotted it shocked and experts mystified.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 1 October 2015.
The video was apparently shot by Quentin Theron in the backyard of his Darwin home with his children and it shows the UFO slowly shooting through the night sky.
There ae a number of theories about the sighting. One is that it could have been space junk re-entering the atmosphere or a high altitude military jet with its afterburner. The children initially thought it was a shooting star but his son said it was a meteorite.
Astronomer Geoff Carr admits that it is unidentified, it is flying and it is an object. But, in his opinion, it is not of alien origin. It certainly is an interesting piece of footage.
The 40-year-old father was swimming in his backyard pool when he and his children spotted the strange light and began to capture the UFO on his video.

Big game hunters can pay £15,000 a time and shoot saltwater crocodiles in Australia


Big game hunters can have a great time in Australia shooting saltwater crocodiles by paying £15,000 - to bag a trophy reptile. They could be setting their sights on the crocs in Australia's tropical northern territories by the end of the year.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 23 June 2015.
The government feels that launching crocodile safaris in the north would bring in a much-needed revenue boost for Aboriginal communities. Accordingly, the announcement has been made in spite of fierce objection from the country's conservationists.
It may be recalled that this so-called 'trophy hunts' had been rejected early last year. The environment minister had branded them as inappropriate and added that they risk 'cruel and inhuman' behavior. However, all ministers do not think the same because such safaris would be a boost for the indigenous communities that live in the region.
Indigenous affairs minister Nigel Scullion argued that Aboriginal communities should be given the option of selling permits to shoot a small number of crocodiles.
Incidentally, the population of saltwater crocodiles is on the rise in the Northern Territory since they were declared a protected species and, by allowing hunting, the annual cull will give an economic boost to the Aboriginal communities.
