There is a good incident that happened to a family driving arcoss the Nullabour. Apparently they left Ceduna and arrived in Ucla in too shorter time (can't remember how long). Anyway the husband, oblivios to what had happened, pulled into the petrol station and he discovered he still had a full tank of gas. The car was covered in dust and there were 3 dents in the roof. Apparently a truck going the other way had witnessed a bright light hovering over the car before the car dissapeared. Now when you cross the border into WA you'll see a sign that says "Aliens next 111kms". Thats a story that has always fascinated me.

Oh bwa ha ha ha - good responses

During this era, Professor Robinson & family were lost in the nether regions of space, when for a short period of time, a rip in the space continuum allowed a short return visit to earth.

It was the Jupiter 2 coming in for it's annual service.

There ya go - that's my two cents worth.

Yeah I read that at the servo last time I did the Nullabour trip.

My great grandmother used to talk about seeing a light one night driving from Perth to Geralton (around 70 years ago), she reckons she had all her kids packed up in the back of their old ford, going down the highway (read - gravel coach track) at around four in the morning, and she saw a bright blue light come screaming up behind her. She said it was going so fast she thought it was going to kill them, so she told the kids she loved them etc, and right at the last second the light swerved around the car without slowing down and continued in front of them until it was out of sight.

Now that woman was very on the ball, and never told a word of a lie. She wouldn't have said it if she hadn't have seen it. Things like that really interest me.

We've often thought that, although min mins aren't commonly talked about as being in WA.

Theres been interesting news about similar lights over on some 'Lemon Tree Road' over east, where people drive really fast at night to 'conjure up the ghost' of some dead motorcyclist. Plenty of vids on youtube of people going 180+ down this road before seeing a light hover above their bonnet. Strange stuff.

Min Min migration patterns have changed due to global warming.

That was on the news recently too. Not sure what to make of it myself other than there are alot of idiots wanting to do 180+ in the dark.

NT News has a fair bit about NT's UFO sitings over the years. See their website, a link or two for further study. Online vids etc.
