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.

Seven killed in Shoreham Airshow when a Hawker Hunter crashed into the road


#shoreham #airshow #hawkerhunter #sussex People had gathered to watch and enjoy the Shoreham Airshow on the seaside of West Sussex when a Hawker Hunter military jet lost control, failed to come out of a loop and crashed on the busy road killing seven people.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 23 August 2015.
The aircraft was participating in the airshow on the southeast coast and it hit several cars and created a fireball to send thick black smoke billowing into the sky. From a footage of the crash it appears that the jet was performing a loop maneuver high in the air. It banked up steeply, turned over but was unable to complete the loop in time to avoid hitting the ground. It ploughed into the bushes by the roadside.
The plane had hit the A27, a major road that runs along England`s southeast coast. Spectators were kept at the airfield until around 7:00pm and the second day of the airshow was cancelled.
