EAGLE-eyed Gold Coasters are looking to the sky after a series of UFO sightings over the weekend.


These close encounters of the first kind occurred in the skies above Varsity Lakes around 7.30pm on Sunday and have left authorities stumped.


No reports of unusual activity within local airspace were made to Gold Coast Airport, Airservices Australia or the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

CASA was also unable to confirm if the lights may have been a drone but said that recreational drones were not meant to be airborne at night.


A UFO that was sighted in Chile is 'not a known object made by man', according to the country's government. Officials released the footage after completing a thorough investigation and have announced in a report that the mysterious object is not one they recognise.

The Springbrook Mountain Extraterrestrial Response Force (SMERF) was also unable to shed any light on the matter, with founder Greg Kernaghan interstate.

Varsity Lakes’ Tarina Callanan said the appearance of lights above her home was out of this world.

“Its colour changed from green to yellow and finally to red and my housemate and I saw what looked like a plane going down and waited for news of a plane crash but nothing came,” she said.

“I went out back to have a smoke and looked up in the sky and the light appeared as bright as the evening star and flashed again before disappearing.


There’s been a spike in UFO sightings on the Gold Coast.
“I believe in UFOs and when seeing something like this you have to wonder what it could be while trying to rationalise it.”

Seeing a UFO is a close encounter of the first kind. Physical evidence lifts the rating to the second kind, while contact is a close encounter of the third kind.

The matter will now be looked into by UFO Research Queensland.

Group president Sheryl Gottschall said the encounter had much in common with other sightings.

“We have had a lot more reports of sightings across the state in the past few weeks, including one at Banora Point on the NSW border,” she said
