UFO sighted from Melbourne suburb, Australia.

I study out of town. But this evening i received a call from my father and a number of my neighbours claiming they were looking at a UFO. They explained as being within the atmosphere, but pretty high up as they felt that it was infact about 100 KM's out towards Bass Strait. I continued to recieve phone calls from neighbours. And trust me, these are people from the most privlidged suburb in Melbourne, and i believe that before tonight they weren't believers! They guessed the size to be anywhere between 5 - 15 football stadiums! With the flashing lights and everything. It was too far to get a photo, bit like taking a photo of an eclipse with a normal camera... i called a friend living 2kms east of my house, and he had a look out, and saw it, as did his family. However, he described it as a really big star with a disco going off on it! I called another mate who lives about 20 kms towards the UFO, but he dismissed it as bull shit and reckoned it was a US air force test on a new X35 or something... AVOL, NASSA? stuff like that, are these things that big??!! I found a sight on something to do with what he was on about, but they looked the size of ordinary fighter jets!
