GET out the tinfoil hats — two Gold Coasters believe they have answers to the recent UFO sighting at Tweed Heads West.

Last week, David Walsh sent the Gold Coast Bulletin a photo and video of an object he claims he saw while fishing off Kennedy Drive about 3am on Sunday, February 3.

He said it was travelling “too quickly” to be a plane or helicopter.

Ken Duke, 72, says he has seen UFOs in his Tweed Heads backyard for about 54 years, and sees the flying saucer at least once a month.

“I was taking my dog out for a pee and I saw the same thing,” he said.

The truth is out there.

The Gold Coast has a long history of UFO sightings.

Mr Duke said he saw his first UFO in 1965 when he was driving with his mate toward Murwillumbah.

Astronomer John Crane, who lives in the Gold Coast Hinterland, believes the sighting was a different type of spacecraft.

“We were home with the grandkids and we saw it the other night.

“It came from north of Beenleigh to the top Tamborine Mountain. It then went over the top of Mount Warning and disappeared into the horizon.”

Mr Crane said the ISS flew over the Gold Coast regularly, taking 90 minutes to orbit the Earth.

Police said it had not received reports of unidentified objects in the sky that night.
