Craft invades no fly military airspace undetected by radar

I feel compelled to tell what I saw based on info I just got from your sight about the guy in the army who along with another soldier saw a very similar shaped UFO to the one my wife and I saw. In 92 my wife and I had recently bought a new house in a rural area of our home town. It was a very hot sumer and our newly planted outdoor plants were suffering badly with the days heat. We were both working by day and watering plants at night on our return home which on this occassion was very late. The area we lived in was a no fly zone as it was military controlled airspace and our local airforce base was responsable for that zone. I should also mention that I have and have held a pilots licence for 27 years. I have flown in both fixed and rotory winged aircraft many times, both in the civil and military situations. Roughly between 12 and 12:30 I was watering the plants and my wife was taking a shower. I was enjoying the cool night air and marvelling at the clear night sky when suddenly a strange craft lifted above the nearby tree line. It appeared to glow a kind of yellowish colour over all but along the sides there were what I can only describe as roundish areas that glowed orange, 3 or 4 of them. This craft was teardrop shape but in a horizontal aspect, slightly higher though at the wider end. It lift off in a corkscrew effect and made no sound. I have no doubt that it was not a helo. I know their flight paterns and the way they operate very well, this was not a helo. At this point a started kicking the way and yelling to my wife to come look at this thing, not wanting to take my eyes off it for a moment. I then realised that I was not the only one who had seen this as a very dark coloured car raced past our house in the direction of the craft. I was releaved to know that I was not the only one who was seeing this. My wife came out and asked what the problem was. I told her the stroy and then after what seemed like an eternity of searching the sky I resigned myself to the fact that I was the only person who saw it and was frustrated by that thought. It was my trun for the shower and her turn with the garden hose. I was no sooner in the shower when in she came and said with a trembling voice....you better get out here, that thing is right over the house and there is some sort of stuff coming out of it. Grabing a towel I bolted for the verander. Again I searched the sky to no avail. I asked her what she meant by stuff coming out of it. She said "It fit the discription you gave me but from underneath I could see sparkly stuff that trailed back from the sides. It was then I became aware of the dark colourd car moving very slowly along the street and come to a spot out front. I thought this was a good sign that we were not alone in this so I started toward the car. At roughly 30 yards on a moonlit night and raped in a white towel I don't think I looked inposing but the car suddenly dashed off again. I went back inside and straight to the phone. I called RAAF base Townsville and the following conversation took place....

Yes hello, can you tell me what aircraft you have flying in the area of *********** currently please? Response "What, at this hour, nothing, you would have to be kidding".

Well I'm not kidding, there is something flying around here right now.

Response "Can't be, thats military zoning, we would know about it if there was.

Yes I know it's military, thats why I'm calling you. Listen there is something out here and I've gotta tell yuh, I am a pilot with both fixed and rotory wing experience and this is nothing like that. What have you got on radar?

Response "Nothing, look, are you sure about this?

Deadly, I'm not alone, I have my wife as a witness!

Response "Ok, well look there is nothing I can tell you except that the sky is very clear, NO TRAFFIC ON RADAR. Thanks for calling it in though!

My wife and I told our friends who were envious mostly. The funny thing about it is that some months or so later there was a UFO filmed by an amateur at a soccer game in broard daylight in another state.

My wife and I looked at each other and I don't mind telling you, when my wife said pointing at the TV "thats it, thats it and the damb thing is corkscrewing,....the hair stood up on the back of my neck!!!
