Close Encounters!?


Strange aircraft have sprung up more than once in the last week or so. On the night of Friday 8th September strange lights were seen in the sky over Melbourne. Police and emergency services were inundated with calls from startled Melburnians reporting, what they described as, 'Flying Saucers' and 'Cigar shaped Spaceships'!

These craft were seen on several occasions, hovering over the botanical gardens and the Shrine of Remembrance.

Was this an attempt by beings from outer space to make contact with humans? or was it something else less sinister?

Coincidently , on that Friday night, St Kilda and Melbourne were playing Australian Football (AFL) against each other at the nearby MCG.

Thousands of fans had packed into the stadium to watch their teams battle it out as they have done many times in the past. This time, however, things were slightly different. Holden, an Australian car manufacturer, had aquired itself a huge airship with a massive advertising screen on its side. Knicknamed 'The Holden-Burg', this airship circled high above the MCG throughout the game, displaying scrolling messages and advertisements on its side. Occassionally, it would drift away from the arena and circle wider and wider and then make its way back.

People on the ground, walking or driving in their cars had probably glimpsed the airship between buildings, shining in the night sky, and made the wrong assumption that we were finally going to meet ET!!
