THE Gold Coast is Queensland’s UFO capital with about half the reports of possible extraterrestrial skulduggery coming from the Glitter Strip.

According to UFO Research Queensland President Sheryl Gottschall over the past decade activity on the Gold Coast has increased to cover about 50 per cent of all reports received from the Greater Queensland area by the group.

And, she told the Bulletin in 2016, many more sightings could be going unreported.

“It could be assumed this is due to the region being a popular holiday destination with many visitors enjoying the beaches into sunset hours while looking into the open sky,” she said.

“However, almost all of the reports from the area are by local residents going about their daily business and not necessarily living near the ocean.

UFO Research Queensland President Sheryl Gottschall.

“The Gold Coast area has a growing population and again it could be thought to be the reason why more reports are being received from the area.

“However there has been good coverage by Gold Coast media in recent years and this gives people ‘permission’ to come out of the closet to report their personal experiences.

“Although the ridicule factor has dropped over the last 20 years the public is still wary of reporting something they can’t explain, so the vast majority of UFO sightings still go unreported.”

Ms Gottschall said her observation was that one in 15 people had seen a UFO.

“So everyone knows someone who has had a UFO sighting,” she said.

“But what’s actually occurring is that certain individuals will report seeing multiple UFOs in their lifetime, and this high incidence of multiple sightings indicates that sightings are not only a matter of chance.

“We’re currently trying to understand why this occurs.”

Previous sightings on the Glitter Strip include:

• A Gold Coast man claims to have proof of a UFO flying in his suburb from May 2021. George Csere was flying his drone near bushland in Nerang when it got hit by something, sending it hurtling to the ground.

•  In Surfers Paradise on September 28, 2015 two men video a white dot moving across the sky.
• At Ormeau on September 29 a woman witnessed strange lights out towards Jacobs Well early in the morning. She said the first light a couple of days ago was a flash of white light that came from the sky like a laser that fanned out as it got closer to the ground.
• Also at Ormeau a person on September 28 reported a vertical white and blue light beam that was focused over a nearby reservoir.
• At Biggera Waters on October 22 a man looked out the windows of his apartment in a multi-level building and saw a very large, extremely bright light in the eastern sky. He described the object as quite low in the sky, less a couple of kilometres from his location with a slightly salmon pink light underneath at either side.
• At Broadbeach Waters on November 19 a woman observed a stationery bright star in the eastern sky at approximately 60 degrees altitude. Occasionally it flickered red but then it started “snaking and looping around” and at times would take off, only to return to its original position.
