This Skywatch will be remembered as a great night enjoyed by all who attended it, following our monthly Blue Mountains UFO Research Club meeting on Saturday 15th June, 2013. McMahons Lookout lies at the far end of King Tableland, south of Wentworth Falls, and provides a spectacular view by day of the Burragorang Valley looking west across the area of the top secret AustralianAmerican underground space base as everyone knows. It has been the scene of countless UFO Sightings over the years and the scene of many eerie happenings believed associated with the underground time-window experiments going on there. The time was 6.39pm when a number of our Club members drove from our Katoomba home in a convoy of at least four vehicles. Taking part in the adventure were The Gilroys; Donerade Burton; Arwyn Kamarudin; Dave Thomas; Ann Taylor; Patrick Vacheron; Michael Flaherty; Mark Nagy; Glenn Woods; Nigel and Jody Kerr and Peter Obrien. Phil Ingram commenced the adventure but he had to turn back. Not everyone arrived at the carpark at once, and Heather and I went in Glenn Woods vehicle with Donerade. We were first to arrive at 7.13pm and we walked to the Lookout from where can be seen the northern branch of the lake Burragorang backwaters. Beyond here in the distance lie the two adjoining gullies containing flight entrances. The time was 7.13pm when were arrived. It was at that moment that upon immediately looking down at the north end of the lake, close to the shore I spotted a single saucer craft, glowing yellow beneath the water at one of the four underwater shoreline nests discovered on previous visits here. The glowing saucer remain edlit up until about 7.37pm when it suddenly switched off! Meanwhile the other cars began arriving and the lookout was soon filled with eager Skywatchers who were in time to see the mysterious underwater-moored saucer. At 7.24pm I spotted a yellowish light briefly in the valley in the southern gully of the two containing the UFO entrance. The object appeared to be a craft entering the Base. The time was now 7.33pm when we all spotted in the west, beyond the earths atmosphere out in space, a bright peacock-coloured glowing object. Dave observed it to be making erratic movements quite noticeably, and I saw this also with my binoculars. To its north was another bright light and both were, from our observation point, low on the horizon. The light to the north glowed different colours also ie green, yellow, blue and I realised as I observed it through my binoculars that the object was the gigantic space port that periodically appears and from which telescopes and good binoculars have on previous occasions observed spacecraft to arrive or depart. The peacock object was also a gigantic space craft of some kind and we all observed it until it suddenly switched off at 7.37pm. The spaceport was soon obscured by a cloud cover. The moon, not yet full, had meanwhile been in and out of the clouds which were coming in from the south with a cold wind, but it began to illuminate the Burragorang Valley and its gullies, so that the two underground Base entrance gullies could be seen. Then at 7.43pm a bright silvery light was spotted by me in the south gully as before. Following this sighting I spotted at 7.51pm another silver light on the horizon west of the two gullies. It then quickly descended into the wilderness depths. AT 8.45pm Ann Taylor captured a UFO in separate photos with her camera. It had appeared in the western sky and was reddish in colour. It was moving north and displayed a reddish coloured vapour trail behind it. It then turned yellowish. Anns photos were certainly the catch of the evening. The photos showed an oblong-shaped craft. Ann seems to have a knack at capturing UFOs on camera. With all the forthcoming Skywatches our Club will be conducting in the future who knows that she will come up with next! Clouds were coming in and the cold was increasing, so shortly after Ann took her photos of the strange craft, we ended the Skywatch, looking forward to the next meeting when the next Skywatch venue will be at Hargraves Lookout, Blackheath, which overlooks Megalong Valley, another hotspot for UFO activity. -03

At long last I have had a chance to do a Skywatch at the secret Skywatching site of the late Don Boyd - my friend and the editor of the legendary Psychic Australian Magazine, which created so much interest in UFOs and all manner of other unexplained mysteries during the mid-1970s-early 1980s. The location overlooks the Jamieson Valley and Burragorang to the south. It can be awkward for some perhaps to get there but well worth the effort for the magnificent daytime view and at night the opportunity to perhaps see UFOs. Don, a real character never short of ideas for way-out field trips, once had me lead him, his mate Geoff Holland and a couple of others on a search for evidence of living Giant Australian Monitor Lizards [ie the 27-30ft long Megalania prisca] deep into the Wollemi National Park Wilderness, where sightings and feet impressions have been known since late 19th century times. We failed to find any traces but enjoyed ourselves immensely. One cold winters night in 1980 Don and Geoff Holland once took me to their secret lookout for a Skywatch. We didnt see any UFOs that night, and for one reason or another I never got a chance to go back there with them. I did try to relocate the site over the years abut was unsuccessful. After Dons passing and Geoffs move from Sydney to Brisbane, I had just about given up on ever relocating it. Geoff came down for the past few Christmases to stay with us until after New Years Eve and by then he was battling cancer. He returned for Christmas 2012 but did not look good and he was aware that he had lost the battle. Determined to see us one more time, assisted by his nephew Ian Holland, he spent a week with us in early April.

On Saturday 6th April, the day before he and Ian were to leave, I was able to have Geoff direct me to the lookout, so together with Ian, Heather drove us to the location on Geoffs directions. Together with Ian [Geoff couldnt leave the car] I soon located a bush track that led down onto an isolated clifftop. After all these years I had, thanks to Geoff, relocated it. Geoff passed away on April 30th so I was very fortunate to learn its location. This clifftop will always remain Don Boyds Secret Skywatch clifftop to me. Interestingly, on the day Geoff directed us to the location Ian and I saw a silver object, saucer-like, shoot up out of Burragorang Valley from the area of the underground space research base operated in secret by Australian and American scientists and the military. It flew quickly out of sight high into overhead clouds. Our sighting was over within 3 to 5 seconds. We were so pleased as the UFO appearance sort of celebrated the rediscovery of Dons Skywatch site. ***** th On Thursday 20 June 2013 together with Dave Thomas, equipped with thermoses of coffee and biscuits, cameras and binoculars, we drove there for my first Skywatch since that night with Don and Geoff back in 1980. We arrived here at 8.45pm and watched the Jamieson and Burragorang Valleys as the cold night settled upon us with intermittent cloud cover. Then at 8.52pm a bright, silver light momentarily appeared over behind the sloping east end of Mt Solitary to the south. It was gone in an instant, like someone opening and closing a house door at night, allowing the light from inside to be seen momentarily, only this was a small opening of the underground base in the Burragorang. Then at 9.18pm I spotted a silver light moving at least 50,000 or more feet above Kings Tableland, approaching from the east, heading west. Dave also saw the object. As we watched, at 9.22pm it changed course high over Burragorang to head north-west. We observed it until 9.25pm when its course was obscured by clouds. The cold was increasing, visibility decreasing, so we abandoned our first Skywatch here at 10.30pm. -0-

Having left the Don Boyd Skywatch location Dave and I spent some time on Kings Tableland Road, hoping to photograph some light energy orbs or other digital phenomena. I captured some haze amid roadside trees and on the road. We soon left for home as the cold was getting a bit much for us. After Dave had dropped me off Heather downloaded my images onto the computer. There were three indistinct images which are still being studied, but one was a real surprise.. Out there on Kings Tableland Road I had taken a quick snap before retreating to the car and, when viewed on the computer there was the fuzzy image of what can only be described as a long neck extending back to a large body with the faint outlines of four legs having manifested barely a few metres from me in the middle of the road. The image does not fit entirely into the picture, with the top part of a bent neck and the hind quarters and tail being out of picture but for the faint outlines of the hind legs. Obviously the enlarged colour image that is on the computer is better than the black and white copy produced here in this article, but the image captured certainly appears to be that of a sauropod dinosaur [Roetosaurus or Austrosaurus are the two species that come to mind Jurassic period, 144-208 million years ago]. If the creature I caught with my digital camera is what it appears to be, then digital photography is going back to the Age of Dinosaurs. I suspect the other images may turn out to be smaller dinosaur species of the same time frame, moving about near the sauropod in a swampy environment in an age when the Blue Mountains as we know them were yet to be formed. Interestingly I have, over the years, recovered fossil feet impressions of dinosaurs, principally those of small species on Kings Tableland -0-
The strange sauropod dinosaur-like image [what else can it be?] photographed on Kings Tableland Road by Rex. Other images yet to be published after close scrutiny may be smaller dinosaur species that were photographed standing near the sauropod in a past dimension captured on Rexs camera.

The dream then speed forwards to the next night. My mother was now also in the house with me as the light poured in the windows. My mother was scared for my safety as I walked outside into the light and conversed with the same entity outside and introduced my mother to my friend.

WAS IT A BIRD? A PLANE? OR A UFO?? CHINESE PASSENGER JET HITS MYSTERIOUS OBJECT AT 26,000FT AND LANDS WITH SEVERELY DENTED
NOSE CONE
The Air China Boeing 757 was forced to make emergency landing It landed with a severely dented and scratched nose cone Pilot heard a large bang and then the plane 'struggled to perform'
By BECKY EVANS PUBLISHED: 21:05 GMT, 10 June 2013 | UPDATED: 01:06 GMT, 11 June 2013
A passenger jet was forced to make an emergency landing after a mysterious mid-air collision with a 'foreign object' at 26,000ft severely dented its nose cone. The front of the Air China Boeing 757 had been pushed in and scratches and scraped paintwork were clearly visible when it landed. The plane was climbing over China when a large bang was heard from the front of aircraft.
Pictures of the Air China jet show the damage the mysterious mid-air collision caused to its nose cone after
The dented nose cone has caused speculation online that the aircraft hit a UFO as it flew over China
The pilot said the aircraft was struggling to perform and he immediately called air traffic controllers, according to reports. He was then allowed him to return to the airport. Experts said investigations into the suspected crash have raised suspicions that the aircraft was hit by a 'foreign object'.

However, they do not believe it was caused by a bird strike as no blood or feathers were visible on the dented nose cone. The damage was only spotted when the plane, which was travelling from Chengdu to Guangzhou, safely landed. The pictures have prompted online speculation that it was caused by a UFO or a drone strike. Other theories posted on the Aviation Herald include pressure from rapidly heated and expanded air. Former government UFO investigator Nick Pope told The Sun that an examination of the nose cone should reveal what hit it. He said traces of whatever collided with the aircraft should be visible. However, he questioned whether the 'secretive' Chinese would reveal the cause. Mr Pope told The Sun: 'Cases like this show that whatever people believe about UFOs, there are serious air safety issues here. 'MoD and CAA files contain dozens of reports of near misses between UFOs and commercial aircraft. 'It's only a matter of time before there's a catastrophe.'
The Air China Boeing 757 (similar to the one pictured) was forced to make an emergency landing
No one was hurt in the mysterious incident. Last week, it emerged that three passenger jet pilots saw UFOs above Britain's Scientology headquarters on their approach to Gatwick Airport. A report revealed that they each saw 'two flat, silver discs', with some flying within 100ft. Air traffic control then spotted six UFOs on their radars before they suddenly disappeared. The encounter, which was probed by the UK Airprox Board, happened on December 30 just before 9am over the Scientology headquarters in East Grinstead, Sussex.

TWO MILITARY JETS ESCORTING UFO TO SECRET BASE, ALIEN TECH IN MILITARY HANDS? UFO SIGHTING NEWS.
Date of sighting: August 2011 Location of sighting: Italy New Details: This may be near USA Aviano Air Base, in the northeast of Italy, near Pordenone. Here is an amazing catch by someone hiking on the hill and happens to have their video cam on. Most of us have done that at one time or another. But then suddenly two jets chasing a UFO shoot across the sky and over the hills. Todays cameras are catching high details. Details that make me think its legit are: 1. The flashing light on the UFO 2. The person lowers the lens to look at the ground as he runs to catch sight of them again, a fake would always focus ahead [as shown in the video footage]. 3. An escort of two military jets so close means the UFO is being flown by one of their pilots. They are in formation. 4. This alien looking craft could be part of the "Project Blue Beam" plan to take place. 5. Rocca Pia castle in Italy has an underground base. The aliens call themselves the "W56," because in the base 56 different space faring species can be found.
