news.com.au - A Perth resident taking photographs of Perth's night sky has captured several mysterious, unexplained lights in the image.

The photograph, which shows a green saucer-like shape and a reddish light to the left, was taken looking east over the Perth Hills towards Kalamunda at about 7.45pm on Friday night.

The Perth resident, who gave us his name but did not want to be publicly identified fearing he could be ridiculed, said: "This is a genuine photo I took last night. It has not been tampered with in any way (apart from cropping and downsize to jpg).

The photographer stresses that he did not believe he had photographed a UFO, but has no explanation for the coloured lights which appeared on the digital images.

"I was photographing the moon and didn't see the red and green lights until viewing the images on my computer.

"The lights you see are not due to anything on the lens or a reflection. I took several photos which show the strange-shaped green light in particular in the same place each time.

"You can see the moon at the top of the photo . . . the red light may be a planet or an approaching aircraft (Perth Domestic Airport is off the bottom left of the photo).

"The photo was taken looking east over the Perth hills towards Kalamunda about 7.45pm last night, (Friday) August 7.

"They both show these lights in roughly the same place which may suggest they are planets not seen by the naked eye.''

Our intrepid photographer emailed the image to the Perth Observatory hoping for an explanation.

"The photo was taken with a shutter speed near 2 seconds. I could not see this green light with the naked eye.''

Another Perth resident, Fleur posted this: "In regards to the lights -- when we lived in the hills in Kelmscott we saw three extremely fast lights move towards the coast -- there was no sound and we just put it down to air force jets -- however we really weren't convinced that jets can actually move at that speed.''

NOTE: I have to wonder how much, if any, of this activity is connected to Paul Cochrane's orb invasion. I have made an inquiry to the Perth area media for any other information that has come forward. As well, anybody with information on paranormal activity in the Perth area....please, contact us...Lon
