Australia:the Gosford area was a UFO hot spot

The society has convened a conference at Gosford this Saturday.

Society secretary Dominic McNamara has urged locals to attend and discuss any paranormal sightings and to question a panel of experts.

Mr McNamara said UFO sightings are regularly reported, and by everyday people.

He said the Gosford area was a UFO hot spot.

"There was a sighting over the Northern Beaches and Central Coast area a few months ago," he said.

"People reported seeing a low-flying, white, triangular object moving silently across the sky," he said.

"Reports stated it was moving as fast as a jet. It was completely silent but if it was a jet it was moving too fast to be so silent."

Mr McNamara, an engineer, said his science-based occupation had not prevented him from exploring the possibility of extra-terrestrial life.

"People ask how an engineer could take this seriously when this science is loaded with ifs and buts," he said.

"We are a group trying to find the truth, to discover if there really is something out there. I pursue this topic with passion and logically.

"We visit reported sites and rule out any variables using scientific equipment."
