BRISBANE object sighted 11 May 2012

There was 8 of us sitting on our balcony when all of a sudden a flying object appeared, which seemed to be flying at approximately 200-300 ft. We saw two lights on the craft, one at each visible end. The fuselage was a dark colour and looked very narrow but in a disk shape. The craft was descending over Chermside, QLD and it appeared to be almost rocking from side to side (almost like an aeroplane about to stall). It disappeared behind trees and the neighbours house but once we rushed to the front balcony to view, the craft had disappeared. There was absolutely no engine noise whatsoever, no clouds in sky. The night was clear and crisp. Shortly afterwards we spotted a small jet that flew a similar route. The craft we saw looked larger than the wingspan of a B747 (I work in aviation) and was flying too low. Any ideas??
